Yesterday marked the birthday of one of my favorite style icons – Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She would have turned 85.

Jackie had an impeccable sense of style that, because it was typically understated, always looked effortlessly chic. She wore little jewelry, save for her signature pearl necklaces, and single-handedly put the pillbox hat on the fashion map. Her signature sunglasses and Hermés scarves were her wardrobe staples copied the world over.

Still, no matter the masses who have attempted to duplicate her look, none of us can deny there was no one quite like Jackie.
