f you’re the moodboard type, I’m

willing to bet yours has this v famous

Marilyn quote on it: “Give a girl

the right shoes, and she can con-

quer the world.” The OGs knew how important

clothes were in crafting a public image, which

is even more true today (hi, my/your/everyone’s

personal brand). Problem is, they lived in a time

when there was only one narrow view of the

“ideal” kind of woman: white, petite, and “mod-

est yet sexy yet innocent” with big “domestic

bliss” vibes. Well thank god we’re in the 21st

century now, so let’s go ahead and anoint the

new fashion idols we all deserve.

Audrey, Marilyn, and Jackie have held

these spots for too long.
