Lydia Hearst: Style Evolution (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

HuffPost Social Reading

As the motto goes -- if you’ve got it, flaunt it. From the looks of it, that’s exactly what American model, actress and heiress Lydia Hearst lives by. The Connecticut native booked an Italian Vogue cover a few months after her debut at New York Fashion Week in 2003 and has been walking in fashion shows and appearing in magazines ever since. With her incredibly lithe figure, mile-long legs, and perfectly blond hair, it’s no wonder that she opts for short dresses with interesting cutouts. For more formal events, Hearst chooses dramatic, floor-length gowns with plunging necklines.

While she’s celebrating her birthday today, click through the gallery to see Hearst’s enviable style evolution!

She looks no better than millions of other women. Where is the skin tight photo?

She might have long lean legs, but she still needs to be wearing hose/tights of some kind. I hate bare legs unless your at the beach or wearing shorts in the summer.

I think she should be on What Not To Wear.

She looks a LOT like her mother Patty Hearst. I wonder if her father, Bernard Shaw feels badly that she doesn't use her true Surname?

What do they mean 'mile-long legs'? Her legs reach the ground just like almost everyone else's and she isn't that tall.

Who are these women, anyway? They all look the same - can't tell 'em apart anymore - all look like blonde Biafrans w. implants.

Maybe you would like them better if they had "junk in the front?"

This is a joke, right... Hearst has no more to reveal now than when she was six years old... at least at six she was probably cute, now she's not worth a second look..

All these women who wear outfits that show their boobs trying to escape seem to be saying "Look at me, I have bigger boobs than Roger Moore". Enough already, EVERY women has boobs.
