Style Icon: Dianna Agron

I’m a huge fan of Dianna as an actress, as well as her elegant yet eccentric everyday style. I personally love to incorporate pattern into my wardrobe, and Dianna manages to wear and mix different patterns without even looking anything close to messy. Pattern is one of my favourite ways to bring interest to a look and show personality, and I often stick to more muted coloured and monochrome combinations, adding touches of interest through different patterns and textures rather than through colour as is classically done. I find myself often taking inspiration for my own outfits from Dianna’s, especially in spring and summer – a patterned midi skirt and ankle boots is fast becoming one of my go to looks this season.
Dianna’s pairing of a very busy Louis Vuitton outfit with opaque black tights in the first image is one of my absolute favourite examples of how much of a difference styling can make. The way that the pulled back hair and black tights/shoes works against the dress makes a really wearable outfit and stops the dress from looking too busy against the patterned bag.
I have also loved seeing how Dianna’s style is being influenced by Alexander McQueen in previous months, due to her work on McQueen The Play. Alexander McQueen is hands down my favourite designer of all time, and another huge inspiration to my personal style, so I’m really enjoying this collaboration between two of my biggest inspirations!
