When it comes to historical fashion icons, our list is topped by the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Lauren Bacall. To us, these three women encapsulate a feminine, effortlessly chic style sense that we adore.

Who are your top three historical fashion icons? And why?

Tell us below! We will feature the top five in a follow up post and Lauren will dish her favorites too.

      I love Audrey Hepburn. She is not just my fashion inspiration, but a life inspiration! Her work with UNICEF is really admirable.She knew how to dress without forfeiting all her clothes, which seems to be a lesson girls need to learn today.

      Audrey Hepburn is my absolute role model. But a close second is the one and only Coco Chanel. But it's hard to choose between Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Grace Kelly for third. They made everything look so effortlessly amazing, with classic and sophisticated styles. Hepburn is just one amazing person that is my ultimate fashion icon. I love her style, sophistication, and classiness. <3

      Fashion is forever changing. The exciting, fun part is watching the old become new again. So what will be the next flair be, a 1908 jersey or a 1960's flowery flowing blouse for the hippy revolution?

      1.Lauren Conrad : whether its casual,modern, or out in sweats she always adds that girly touch in everything <3 & what can I say about those pastel colors ... Love them!

      2.Holly Maddison : once again, girly! whatever she wears tho, she makes it look comfortable, specially her comic tee's with denim skirts :)

      3.The Kardashians : classy. everything from the nails to the pumps! they are different body types and I notice that they show how to rock anything in different ways.

      my number one style icon is Katharine Hepburn. she was never afraid to be herself or try something new. she was confident and sexy without being cocky or overt. i've always thought this quote by Gore Vidal really sums up her style and flair - "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

      1. Kate Hudson. She effortlessly pulls of hippie rocker without being cheesy or obvious.
      2. Talitha Getty. One of the boho-chic originators, she was the epitome of 60's cool.
      3. Jennifer Aniston. Her hair, her sense of humor, what's not to adore! Plus she's a pro at wearing the little black dress.

      I have always admired Audrey Hepburn, Bridget Bardot, Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe's style. If I had to choose one of them who's style I admire most it would be Audrey Hepburn's.

      Jackie Kennedy is my top fashion icon. I love her style because she had a modest elegance that you don't see in today's fashion. Although I have to say I love your style as well Lauren, alot of things you wear remind me of that same elegant style I love.
