How do you feel about Kate Bosworth? Because back in her all-American sweet Blue Crush days we weren’t all that convinced either. But since then she’s ditched the strappy tops and board shorts, and become something of a high fashion muse, showing how to combine direction with that cool California/Marant hybrid - so much so that she’s a front row fixture at most fashion weeks.

Nowadays Kate favours a strong look on and off the red carpet. Scraped-back hair, a statement lip and clean eye makeup all enhance the striking pieces she chooses to wear, while her relaxed attitude and way of putting it all together keep her style from being too severe. Take a look through the Californian’s best wardrobe choices here.
