'It' Brits: The Chicest Ladies from Across the Pond

From Naomie Harris' role in the next James Bond flick to Jourdan Dunn's global fashion week domination, it seems like there's a stylish "It" Brit everywhere we turn these days. In the spirit of #WomenCrushWednesday, we're taking a look at the ladies across the pond whose style never quits.

Never one for a boring look, Naomi appears in this orange, white and black number and it’s making us feel as though we’ve stepped into the ’60s. In a good way.

We first met Marsha Ambrosius years ago as a part of Floetry but the singer has made a name of her own and has the style to match.

Singer Ella Eyre may be young but she’s no style rookie. The starlet rocks fierce knee-high boots ans a flowy printed dress like a pro.

Ella goes rogue in a skin-tight, side-baring dress. She keeps all eyes on her frock by going easy on the accessories.

Getty Images
22
Estelle

From her days singing about ‘American Boys’ to now, Estelle has never been less than a style star. Case in point: This see-through lace number. Gorgeous!

Getty Images

Mixing a relaxed sillouette with girly accessories is quite a special skill, one that Estelle masters effortlessly.

We’re loving this drapey frock! How lovely are these rich colors and this brush-stroke pattern? Clearly this is another style victory.

Mel B wasn’t the posh member of the Spice Girls but she could’ve fooled us. How amazing does she look in this black and white jumpsuit paired with metallic accessories.

We couldn’t be more in awe of Mel’s ability to take a few simple pieces and create a stand-out look from them.

Naomi Campbell just may be the G.O.A.T when it comes to the modeling world, so we wouldn’t expect anything less when it comes to her style game. Campbell simply doesn’t quit in this guilded gown.

True divas know how to rock a fur like no one else. We love this white coat paired with her gold mirrored dress.

Here’s the thing. Who else do you know that could pull this off? Just when we thought she couldn’t push the envelope anymore she does, in the best way possible.

Getty Images
43
Thandie Newton

We know Thandie from quite a few of our favorite movies but what we might not have paid attention to was her penchant for style, and that’s our mistake. It gets no chicer than this polka dot mini dress, colorful chanel clutch and nude Christian Louboutin pumps. Work!

Getty Images

Thandie Newton

Let’s talk about this perfectly tailored floor-length black and white gown. It’s a game-changer.
