Best of 2011: Most Influential Style Icon of the Year

There was truly no shortage of influential style this year — whether high end or high street, celebrities gave us tons of inspiration in 2011, giving us new ways of thinking about fashion.

There was truly no shortage of influential style this year — whether high end or high street, celebrities gave us tons of inspiration in 2011, giving us new ways of thinking about fashion. J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons provided a fresh, out-of-the-box philosophy on layering and print mixing that couldn't be ignored, while superstylist Rachel Zoe proved that she can move seamlessly from dressing A-list celebrities to dressing us regular fashion folk. Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung both brought their own brand of effortless cool-girl style, putting a no-fuss spin on even the dressiest of looks. Lastly, we can't possibly forget the Duchess herself: Kate Middleton's polished personal style made just as many waves as her lavish wedding did — she gave royalty a new, more attainable image, wearing affordable pieces from Zara and H&M and putting smaller brands like Issa on the map. So, which style icon was the most influential in 2011? Cast your vote below now!
