People pays homage to the fashion forward. They created new looks, or made what was in vogue their own. They are icons of elegance from Audrey Hepburn ("Is there a woman who would not want to look like her?" mused Givenchy) to Princess Diana ("If it shocks them at the Palace," she said, "All to the good.") In Styles of the Stars, the editors name our era's 50 Greatest Style Setters. Going far beyond the magazine's illustrious "best dressed" list, it celebrates that ephemeral commodity called style. That enviable quality once embodied by Fred Astaire, Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly and James Dean, that lives on today in celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael Jordan, Lauryn Hill and Julia Roberts. For more than a quarter-century, People magazine has tracked the trends of the famous and fabulous. All the memorable looks are here. Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" shag. Farrah Fawcett's "Angel" wings. Marlon Brando's biker togs. Elton John's spectacular specs. And Cher's ... everything. We explore the allure of blondes, of red-heads and of supermodels. And because strong women never go out of style, we offer a gallery of Girl Power from Barbarella and Sheena to Buffy and Xena. Not to leave out the gentlemen, they clean up well in "Men in White," a sparkling array of fellas from John Travolta to Sean "Puffy" Combs.
