Zendaya by Imogen Smillie

Supported by her stylist and friend, Law Roach, Zendaya (almost) never seems to miss the mark. My personal favourite was the spider-web slip dress, by Maison Valentino, that she wore for the Spiderman Premiere last December. Always thriving on her tall, slim figure and personal style, her looks for this press tour paid homage to the other characters in the film as well!

Madison Sarah by Sophia Ayub

Madison Sarah is a twenty-four year old YouTuber and social media influencer who shares fashion, lifestyle and beauty content. Despite being subjected to her fair share of controversy over the years, like many influencers who fall into the deep dark clutches of cancel culture, Madison Sarah has always possessed a particular flare for styling streetwear looks on her platform, which I have always resonated with myself when looking towards inspiration for a casual yet skilfully put together look.

Madison’s Instagram is a hub of inspiration for street style, showcasing a plethora of sleek, cult streetwear fits. I adore her utilisation particularly of preloved vintage fashion pieces. As well as sharing her appreciation for high-street fashion through various hauls, what Madison stylistically incorporates into her wardrobe creates both an affordable and luxury foundation for inspiring a multifaceted base for her looks. By encouraging purchasing staple style pieces for your wardrobe, Madison inspires many to approach purchasing both high-street and luxury pieces in a sustainable manner. What particularly caught my eye from her Instagram page was styling of a Dolce & Gabbana layered vest top piece. Her collation of both high-street and vintage luxury style gives Madison wide applicability to inspiring viewers styling both high-street and luxury fashion – showcasing that you can embrace high end fashion without a big budget.

Madison’s overall chic-meets-edgy style is what makes her stand out from the crowd, as her unique take on street style differentiates from the mainstream outfits that influencers embrace to promote fast fashion brands such as Missguided and PrettyLittleThing. Whilst incorporating pieces from these retailers, she wears fits whilst also embracing her own individualistic approach.

Lewis Hamilton by Arthur Ferridge

Lewis Hamilton’s fearless contemporary fashion is representative of his brave personality and Formula One trailblazing. F1 and high fashion have been synonymous for years, but Hamilton has taken it to a new level in recent years as he has collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger as well as countless underrepresented designers to produce expressive clothing bearing important messages.

Alexa Chung by Lizzie Yockney

Throwing it right back to 2013, my first fashion inspiration was Alexa Chung. I was obsessed with her myriad of a-line skirts and bought several, which I wore all the time. I admired her ability to piece together classic, staple pieces and create an effortless style. Today, I still love the nods to the ‘60s and ‘70s in her outfits.
