The inspirational women of the world
Throughout the years, women’s role within society has changed dramatically, and for the better! Some of the reputed and experienced defense attorneys from Fairfax says that women are able inspire and influence change in the world, and now women with power and in the public eye are able to use their status for the better and help change the world.
We have joined forces with the team at Blue Vanilla and together created an infographic taking a look at seven famous and inspirational women around the world, their inspirational achievements and also a little about their style and favourite looks.
1. Emma Watson
Emma is involved in several philanthropic causes including the empowerment of young women, an advocate for the UN Women’s HeForShe campaign and promoting girls’ education in countries such as Bangladesh and Zambia.
She is known for her polished style and neutral colours – blacks, whites and greys.
2. Angelina Jolie
She uses her fame to promote various causes, such as conservation, education and women’s rights. She has received a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and honourary damehood.
Keeping it neutral and polished, Angelina is not afraid of masculine power dressing (Yves Saint Laurent suit at the 2014 BAFTA’s) and believes less is more with jewellery.
3. Natalie Portman
As well as being a world-famous actress, Natalie has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Harvard! She is a FINCA Ambassador of Hope, an institution which provides financial support to low income female entrepreneurs, and and ambassador for Free the Children, a charity which empowers and lifts global communities.
We love her cool and girlish charm with lots of blacks, whites and nudes on the red carpet. Her everyday look is casual – jeans, trench coat etc.
4. Michelle Obama
She is the first African-American First Lady of the United States of America. She is an advocate for a number of causes, and since 2010 she has played a vital role in huge movements such as efforts to encourage young children to become more active, support service people and their families and to give females from underprivileged countries the opportunity to learn.
Michelle was voted one of Vanity Fair’s top 10 of the world’s best-dressed people in 2007. She is almost always in a dress, favouring a sleeveless design to show off those arms!
5. Hillary Clinton
Hilary was the first woman in US history to run for, and win, an elected office. At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women and is the co-founder of the Clinton Foundation, which aims to build bridges between governments and communities.
Hilary is always cool and sophisticated. With a simple style of casual elegance, both femininity and strength are portrayed in her signature outfits; a low v-neck blouse and tailored high-waisted trousers.
6. Reese Witherspoon
Reese is the Global Ambassador of the Avon Foundation for Women, working to empower and improve their lives with a focus on finding a cure for breast dances and ending domestic abuse. She also worked as part of the Malala Fund and serves on the board of the Children’s Defence Fund.
Reese’s wardrobe features plenty of colour and she is always perfectly polished on the red carpet. She loves to accessories an outfit with a jacket, whether it be denim, leather or tailored, and is often spotted in a pair of sunnies!
7. JK Rowling
She is an OBE for her contribution to children’s literature and is a commencement speaker at Harvard University. J.K.Rowling works closely with a number of different charities for which she has raised millions of pounds.
J.K.Rowling is always seen in the colours of the season. Generally, her look is smart; wearing dresses or blouses with skirts, often dressed down with a nude or black jacket.
