sexiest style icons

A saffron off-the-shoulder gown shows off her porcelain skin and model-perfect figure.

Forget the red carpet: It's truly a feat to look this stunning when walking the dog. From her slightly mussed hair to the cropped tee and short lacy skirt combo, we're in love with this whole look.

An iridescent, plunging minidress totally complements her delicate features.

The actress is a knockout in jeans and a tee; in body-skimming, revealing satin and lace, she's off the charts.

Her athletic body looks great in a silky black halter-neck dress; long, gently curled hair and a few sparkly bangles are the perfect accessories.

With her perfectly tousled hair and megawatt smile, she somehow makes fitted white shorts and kneesocks look cool (and decidedly un-Love Boat!).

A cool, asymmetrical metallic dress looks amazing against her glowing skin and dark wavy hair.

Whether wearing a snug, skin-baring strapless dress or sprinting across town in skinny jeans, a vintage tee, and a blazer, she always looks hip and comfortable.

A plunging neckline and delicate jewelry make this menswear-inspired outfit truly seductive.

Though she's undone and barefaced in a simple striped dress and slides, Marilyn's style is still pure seductress.

Her legs look miles long in a nude dress and heels; the cherry-red lipstick exudes confidence.

She's an expert at walking the line between flashy and elegant. Evidence: this challenging dress, with its bright, peacock print, super-short hemline, and exaggerated shoulders. She looks fantastic in it.

The English screen star makes a maillot sexier than any bikini.

A master of the bold red lip and dark eye combo, the singer is statuesque in a drapey, Grecian gown.

Silky, bombshell hair, plenty of mascara, and a black dress that reveals just enough: timelessly hot.

Classic American beauty: Her tawny skin, wavy blonde hair, and bright white smile pair flawlessly with safari-esque khakis, espadrilles, and a chic watch.

Beautifully sleek--the oversize necklace, kohl-rimmed eyes, and yellow polish are the perfect amount of cool.

The way her slouchy, ankle-length gown falls off her shoulder is incredibly alluring.

This look—a lacey micro-mini, blazer, and pumps—plays up her amazingly toned legs!

She makes head-to-toe leather—not easy to pull off—look effortless, even comfortable.

Each piece, from the dark, ruffled dress to the vintagey hair clip and bag, is formal—but she wears them in the most unfussy way.

With her self-assured, smoldering beauty, this Italian actress made the simplest, most ladylike clothes look hot.

This model always nails the downtown grunge look. Somehow, she manages to make unkempt hair, PVC leggings, and a cropped band vest look red-carpet-ready.

White lace is so sultry against her tan skin.

The smokey eyes, sparkly chandelier earrings, and slinky gown are super dramatic.

Before Lady Gaga was even born, there was Madonna, the original risk-taker. The black corset top, fishnets, and cropped blonde hair are tough and supremely sexy.

The wildly stylish SJP mixes sophisticated and hard-edged pieces to masterful effect.

The beachy white dress, light-pink gloss, and thick curls are the epitome of bohemian.

Her boyish, closely-cropped hair contrasts beautifully with this romantic, velvety gown.
