16 Young, Up-And-Coming Style Icons!
Published on February 7, 2014. Updated April 2, 2017When it comes to fashion in Hollywood, some stars just stand out! Stars like Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson are considered seasoned fashion experts but, when it comes to the younger stars, who stands out as the next-generation style icons? We have a list of 16 young up and coming Hollywood fashionistas!
16. Chloe Grace Moretz
Sixteen-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz is quickly establishing herself as a style icon. She’s already shown that she’s not one to shy away from edgier designs (designs that you would expect on someone at least ten years older than her) and she easily swings from elegant to edgy on the red carpet – something not many young stars can pull off.
15. Willow Smith
Willow Smith is only 13-years-old and she obviously moves to the beat of her own drum, which is awesome! Her fashion is edgier than most celebrities and she often looks like a little rockstar. During a photo-shoot for V magazine, she described her sense of style as “unpredictable, unique and cutting-edge” and we couldn’t agree more!

It turns out that Camilla Belle’s mother was a fashion designer when she was growing up, so it makes perfect sense that she has an excellent sense of fashion herself. According to the stylista, she likes cotton dresses because they can be dressed up or down with jewelry and accessories.

Kendall Jenner is only 18-years-old but she’s already style icon in her own right. In 2011, Seventeen magazine chose Kendall and her sister Kylie as style ambassadors for the magazine.

Kylie Jenner, like her sister Kendall, is a budding fashion icon. With all of their family’s reality shows, these two have a lot of influence style-wise – everyone wants to know more about their fashion! Kylie told Teen Vogue that her style is edgier than Kendall’s and that she prefers “leather and black and dark colors.” We think she definitely takes more risks than her sister – and those risks are sure to pay off!
