One of the most famous Leos (and we’re not talking DiCaprio) is Coco Chanel. The iconic designer is credited with revolutionizing the modern woman s wardrobe and her personal signatures—little black bouclé suits, breton stripes, and playful pearls—are unmistakable to this day. Today marks the designer’s birthday and it s clear that the world s best dressers are still taking cues from from Chanel s chic template. Karlie Kloss stunned at this year’s amfAR gala in a drop-waist dress with contrasting pearl accents that could have been pulled from Chanel s closet, while fellow model Cara Delevingne channeled Coco s la garçonne look with a simple chemise over shorts during the Cannes Film Festival. Actress Keira Knightley reinterpreted the classic breton stripe in a simple, pleated navy dress with contrasting white trim at the collar, cuff, and waist, and Chloë Grace Moretz looked both youthful and sophisticated in a tailored cropped top and high-waisted trousers. With its alluring sheer finish, **Lily Aldridge’**s dress exemplifies Chanel s fashion philosophy, “Nothing is more beautiful than freedom of the body.” Bon anniversaire indeed.
