FASHION ICONS

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley


PROFILED BY Manilka Ediriweera

As a supermodel, actress, businesswoman and mother, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has topped the charts as one of the best dressed celebrities. She’s also a fashion inspiration for her everyday looks.

Rosie made her runway debut in 2004 and since then, she has worked with fashion houses such as DKNY, Victoria’s Secret, Burberry and Jimmy Choo. This former Victoria’s Secret angel always manages to look effortlessly chic and stylish – whether she’s strutting down the catwalk, gracing the red carpet or hitting the streets with her classic yet modern looks, minimalist aesthetic style and feminine street smarts.

And here’s how you can borrow her polished and statement making style!

TAILORED SUITS According to Rosie, “if there’s one thing you should invest in this season, it should be a beautifully tailored suit.” You too can wear suits like this model for a completely monochromatic look or split up the pieces and wear them separately. To complete the image, you can add a pair of statement earrings and heels, and a simple hair and makeup look. For a more sophisticated and businesslike appearance, you could add a chic belt and large purse, and style your hair in a neat ponytail.

ELEGANT GOWNS Known for her bombshell looks and incredibly toned figure, Rosie exudes glamour, elegance and sophistication whenever she works the red carpet. She has been spotted on multiple occasions wearing shimmering gowns, and experimenting with soaring thigh slits, plunging necklines and halternecks.

Rosie often completes these sensational looks with a simple pair of earrings and killer heels. She looked nothing but sensational at the 2019 Met Gala in a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown, which was encrusted with shimmering pearls.

BODY SUITS The halterneck body suit from Zara grabbed the attention of many after Rosie was seen wearing it. Her love for this body suit is evident since she owns three in different shades – viz. white, nude and black. Her Instagram posts show her pairing them with high waist and wide legged pants, as well as midi skirts.

This body suit can be worn either on its own or underneath a sheer blouse. You too can pair a body suit with a pencil skirt or high waist pants like Rosie does for that trendy office look; or pair it up with denim, or a slip or midi skirt, to achieve the perfect off-duty casual look.

OVERSIZED COATS With a wardrobe full of coats and jackets that range from teddy coats to tailored blazers, nothing seems off-limits to Rosie. She has displayed her effortless street chic on a number of occasions by making bold fashion statements in long leopard print jackets, checked blazers and oversized menswear style jackets in bold colours.

As Rosie has shown, the right blazer makes for a sound investment because you can pair it with absolutely anything – jeans, leggings, ‘bodycon’ dresses and even cycling shorts.
