An actress with a passion for fashion
Kelly Rutherford, who audiences discovered through her role as Lily Van der Woodsen in the Gossip Girl series, has established herself as a style icon in recent years. A major presence in the fashion world, she is often to be seen in the front row at fashion shows by some of the world’s leading houses, including Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture, Schiaparelli Couture and Elie Saab.
The actress is also active on the creative side, with a number of high-profile collaborations. She recently designed a refined bob in partnership with Australian brand Lorna Murray and created a capsule collection with Parisian label Carel. She is admired for her minimalist, elegant style, in line with the quiet luxury trend, which favours pure lines and quality materials.
Kelly Rutherford shares her looks with her many followers on Instagram, in selfies that she takes in the lift of her New York apartment block. The ritual has developed something of a cult following, and showcases her personal style: Parisian elegance and New York chic. In just a few years, she has crafted an image as a discreet and influential modern muse, who is sought after by many brands.
