Fashion Icons and Iconic Looks
Every now and then, someone throws a costume party with a specific theme. Just recently, my cousin got invited into one and she turned to me for advice. The theme: fashion icons/iconic looks. Upon hearing that, I was thankful that the host (whoever he/she may be) didn’t go for those themes which require you to buy a specific outift for that party alone or the ones which have such slim choices in terms of costume. I began traveling back in time (completely in my mind of course) to remember the fashion icons and the iconic looks that each one made, well, iconic. As I progressed, I though, hey, why not blog about it? And so I did.
- Audrey Hepburn - there’s nothing I find more elegant than a black dress and a string of pearls. And of course, there’s no one else to thank but Audrey Hepburn for making this look timeless.
- Grace Kelly - I love how she looks very regal with just wearing simple clothes despite her typical blonde look.
- Marilyn Monroe - the sexy and seductive Marilyn Monroe could never be left out of the list! The pouty red lips? HOT.
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - once I hear the word feminine, a picture of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is the first thing that pops in my mind.
- Imelda Marcos - throughout the decades that President Ferdinand Marcos was president/dictator, you could always see his loyal spouse trailing behind him in a terno (usually candy-colored), paired with one of her shoes (also candy-colored; from her world renown shoe collection).
I have more in my list so keep your eyes out. 
PS: Once I get something interesting enough not to be in a list, I promise I’ll blog about it.
All these women are amazing. I’m a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O.

Fashion has moved forward since the fifites/sixties!
Why not Kate Moss for the nineties/noughties, Agyness Deyn for the noughties, etc?
