What 10 Famous Women Looked Like Before They Became Style Icons

The images of these famous women inspire ladies from around the world to choose the bravest, brightest, and trendiest outfits. They are loved by critics and fashion magazines and there are hundreds of photos of them dressed in perfect combinations of clothes and accessories. And very few people actually remember that just 10-15 years ago, these fashion icons were only just looking for their style and making mistakes while building their wardrobes.
We at Bright Side decided to remember what path these 18 famous women walked to become true gurus of style and fashion.

1. Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is one of the women that has managed to turn their careers around 180 degrees and find themselves in a totally different field. Just 15 years ago, the entire world knew Victoria as one of the members of the Spice Girls and the wife of a famous soccer player. But today, Posh Spice has become one of the icons of the fashion world and the owner of a successful brand.
2. Natalie Portman

Since her very first appearance on the Red Carpet, Natalie Portman has always chosen feminine styles and simple colors. Over time, her outfits have become more well-thought-out and elegant. Also, the star of Black Swan prefers dresses from Dior and Givenchy that really highlight her style.
3. Cate Blanchett

Throughout her entire career, Cate Blanchett has chosen not only the most interesting roles, but also some very memorable outfits. And just 10 years ago, this Australian star made a few style mistakes here and there, but today her looks are always absolutely impeccable.
4. Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is definitely one of those women who is not afraid of experimenting with their clothing. This Hollywood star has a lot of different dresses in her collection, but she still prefers clothes from Balenciaga, Lanvin, L’Wren Scott, Prada, and Dries Van Noten. Yes, in the past, her clothes might’ve been weird at times, but today, every time she appears in public, her fans and fashion critics love her style.
5. Sarah Jessica Parker

When we hear the name Sarah Jessica Parker, the first thing that pops up in our minds is her character Carrie Bradshaw who wore slightly extravagant, but still impressive outfits. At the moment, this 53-year-old fashion guru doesn’t need a stylist to know what to wear. Most of the time she even ends up making a good impression on people who are not all that interested in fashion. Even though the show ended a long time ago, Parker still loves her Manolo Blahnik shoes.
6. Angelina Jolie

In the past, Angelina Jolie used to choose jeans and bright prints, both as her everyday clothes and when it came to outfits for special occasions. Now, the actress wears more feminine clothes in very simple colors. And fashion critics totally agree with Jolie — her appearance doesn’t need any additional accessories.
7. Natalia Vodyanova

When this world-famous model was taking her first steps in the fashion world, her style was memorable, but a little bit too extravagant. At the moment, Natalia Vodyanova has found her own unique style, but she is still able to shock everyone from time to time when she wears a balloon-dress, for example.
8. Jennifer Lopez

After the release of the single Jenny from the Block in 2002, Jennifer Lopez actively supported the image of the girl “everyone knows.” A playful beret, a top, and capris — this is what 34-year-old Lopez would’ve easily worn for a public event. Now, this star tries to choose more elegant clothing.

9. Kate Winslet

The free-spirited Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind didn’t care about what she was wearing, but Kate Winslet herself spent a long time looking for “her” own style. As a result of many fashion experiments, the English star realized that sheath dresses and suits are the best choices for pretty much any event. And she is used as an example by many other women.

10. Halle Berry

Everyone is amazed by the perfect body of this 51-year-old actress. And it seems that Halle Berry herself knows that she looks amazing, so she highlights the best parts of her body. At the very start of her career, she might’ve worn a top and a mini skirt, but now Halle prefers more elegant outfits.

Angelina Jolie’s parenting style was further highlighted in another article, where her unconventional educational approach, acceptance of junk food, and emphasis on celebrating diversity were discussed. Jolie’s approach to parenting is marked by a deep respect for her children’s individuality and a commitment to nurturing their growth.
