It seems like every day there's a new actress starring in an indie movie (wait, wasn't she born, like yesterday?) or model blowing up the catwalks during fashion week.

But everything that you think is cool has a reference to the past--ask any designer, they've all been inspired by something that happened before their time. It's important to know the genesis, because trust us, dear readers, one day you will be the ones rolling your eyes at the youngster who doesn't know who Linda Evangelista is, or Mia Farrow was the original pixied darling. We've compiled a list of *some* of the new style-setters and you can tell us, did we leave anyone out?

Or did you take the hot newer crop and just fish around looking for anyone from any decade they might happen to resemble (I think this is the answer.)?

I would say Queen Latifa is as beautiful as Pearl Baily was...she was GORGEOUS and funny and very talented singer.
