Card-Carrying Fashion Party-Goer
First and foremost, a fashion plate, like
Jaime King,
is a member of the Society of Style Savants. They meet at the Met Gala,
CFDA Fashion Awards, boutique openings, runway show after-parties and,
most importantly, the front row. During fashion weeks, they offer
street-style photographers a decadent, multi-course meal of #OOTD after
#OOTD. Not to mention, they are regularly dressed by the houses of
Chanel, Dior and Balmain…even when there's no project to promote.

Jaime King
The actress may have gotten her start in
White Chicks
as a shallow Hamptons-bound heiress, but her off-screen wardrobe has
much more depth. She's a staple at fashion shows, supporting both iconic
designers, like Oscar de la Renta, and emerging ones, like Monse. And
the way she mixes textures and proportions makes her one to follow on
social media.

Blogger Buddies
A Hollywood fashion plate has one Gucci mule in the
fashion elite circle and one among like-minded style bloggers and social
media influencers. Like
Jaime Chung, they might even
have their own blog. Some fashion influencers even have more followers
than some Hollywood stars, which is perhaps how fashion plates keep so
relevant nowadays.
Jamie Chung
The
Once Upon a Time star first fell into the spotlight as a reality star on the
Real World.
While she may have had a flair for the dramatics at one point, Jamie
has a more casual sense of style. While she can rock a gown like any
actress, Jamie excels in street style. That doesn't mean everything she
wears is tight and revealing; her pieces are seemingly tailored to her
body even when she's just in a sundress at a Revolve party or Coachella.

Statement Maker
The best fashion plates make a statement with their
look…even when it's simple. You will have some kind of reaction after
you first spot their ensembles. Every piece is thought-out and every
styling trick is intentional.

Yara Shahidi
The
Blackish star is an emerging powerhouse both as an actress and fashion plate. Now with her very own spin-off,
Grown-ish, we'll be likely to see more interesting ensembles from this trendsetter.

Always Put-Together
It doesn't matter what this fashion plate wears, the
minute she steps out in public, there will be several style articles
generated based off her ensemble. Why? Every flowing maxi dress,
body-hugging gown and pencil skirt fits her like glove but also enhances
her sophisticated demeanor. She wears the clothing; it does not wear
her.
Amal Clooney
Three words: long, white gloves. When
George Clooney's
better half walked the 2015 Golden Globes red carpet in a one-shoulder
black gown, all anyone could talk about were the gloves gracing her
hands and arms. While some said the accessories were dated, no one could
deny how elegant she looked. While the humanitarian should be first
recognized for her altruistic efforts, you can't deny how put-together
she always looks in public.
Risk-Taker
The fashion plate takes risks even if it is entirely
out of their comfort zone. If someone says, "Try these red pants with
thigh cutouts that almost look like chaps," you'll wear them with
confidence.

Olivia Culpo
The former beauty queen may have gained famed as
Nick Jonas'
ex, but the influencer has also embedded herself among the high-fashion
set, showing us that she doesn't follow trends, she makes them. Her
penchant for wearing the unconventional has landed her several
endorsement deals and even a spot on E!'s
Total Models.

Branded Boss
A Hollywood fashion plate stays true to his or her
own aesthetic…even if it's the total opposite of mainstream trends.
Their point of view is so strong that they can build a brand inspired by
their everyday look.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
The twins have come a long way since their
Full House
days. They have such strong perspectives that they were able to create
successful fashion brands (The Row and Elizabeth and James) from it.
They defined their own look, making it recognizable among even
non-fashion enthusiasts. Loose clothing made with quality fabrication
and a modern-boho flair? It must be an Olsen twin.
Refresher
This fashion plate knows how to reinvent themselves, even when their social status and reputation are already world famous.

Celine Dion
Let's be clear: The "My Heart Will Go On" singer has always been an icon, but now with stylist
Law Roach by her side, she's channeling a more daring, powerful aesthetic we've never seen before—and can't get enough of.
The Constant
Anyone who deserves a fashion plate title is
consistent in their awe-inducing style, even if it changes throughout
the years. Even when they are running errands in a T-shirt and jeans,
they have styled the look in such a way that it inspires our own
wardrobes. They don't have off days, and when they do, it looks five
times better than us on our laziest days.
Kate Bosworth
From mint-green satin suits to marigold wool pants,
Kate is always on the best dressed list. She rarely misses the style
mark, and that should be recognized.
