Eclectic Style Stars

With all the pressure in Hollywood to look a certain way, it's nice to see some stars blaze their own trail and rock what works for them. These ladies are style stars in my book because they don't follow the trends. Instead they inspire trends along the way.



Zoe Kravitz takes after her parents Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet when it comes to style. She rocks designer duds in her own way but, she's been known to hit the thrift shops as well.

Tracee Ellis Ross has a creative flair on the screen and it carries over into her wardrobe.

Solange Knowles sings her own tune musically and fashionably. She definitely stands out from the crowd.

Lisa Bonet has been a fashion rebel for years! From her Cosby days to today her risky fashion choices keep people talking.

Diddy's protege, Janelle Monae hit the music scene with a different sound and look. With the natural pompadour and old school fashions she's making a name for herself.

India Arie came into the business making a statement and continues to do so. Whether it's about self-esteem, hair or changing the view of women in society she translates her message in fashion as well.

She's a newcomer from the U.K. but, Estelle is getting her name out there and letting her clothes do the talking.

From the beginning of her career Erykah Badu has been a trailblazer. Her signature style continues to give her fans something to talk about.
