Bardot Top Place as Most Stylish

http://www.stylist.co.uk/fashion/10-most-stylish-women-of-all-time#
I agree with Bardot being number one, as she certainly is my style icon, but Princess Diana, Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole certainly wouldn't make my list.
I'd have (in no particular order): Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Jean Seberg, Anna Karina, Catherine Deneuve, Marlene Dietrich, Dita Von Teese, Audrey Horne (Twin Peaks), Francoise Hardy, and Diane Keaton. I'm probably missing some.

Style Crush: Jean Seberg

Spring makes me want to emulate Jean Seberg's classic style, most memorable in A Bout de Souffle. I recently bought the 50th anniversary edition of the film purely for a Seberg documentary extra (I already owned a vanilla disc). She wore the cropped cut perfectly and her clothes were simple and hinted at the American starlet's affilations with Europe, especially France. Seberg's later years were marred with tragedy and I wish there were more books about her life - but perhaps that makes her all the more enigmatic.

To dress like Jean Seberg, think 50s style dresses, nautical stripes, capri pants, and a Herald Tribune t-shirt http://www.vinmag.com/online/prodshow/TS060___New_York_Herald___Breathless_Movie_T_Shirt/new-york-tribune-breathless-t-shirt.html
