Bento Loves… Style Icons

Mmmm. Style icon. It’s a term that gets bandied around a fair bit these days. Of course, as quickly as someone is declared a style guru and icon they’re off the list again (Sienna Miller, anyone?). For us though, a style icon isn’t about a trend or a particular look. It’s about a person knowing themselves, their lifestyle and their body so well that they always look good. They don’t even need to be a celebrity (although that does make their style more accessible).

Of course, the word ‘good’ is very relative and what looks good to one person almost definitely won’t to another… but this is part of what makes a style icon such a personal thing.

At Bento, we look to women like these as our style icons…

Carla Bruni

Cate Blanchett

Sarah Harris

Constanza Pascolato

Another Constanza Pascolato 'cause she's just got THAT much style...

So, who are you your style icons? Or to put it another way, who’s style do you admire?
