Who Is Your Ultimate It Girl?

Pin It

We throw around the term It Girl a lot at NYLON–in fact, we’ve got an entire issue devoted to them.

Some girls, like Alexa Chung, have been on our list forever. Others, like Cara Delevingne, seem to come out of nowhere.

We’re working on a top secret project (don’t worry, you’ll know about it real soon), and wanted to hear from you: Who do you consider to be 2013′s It Girls? Are you obsessed with Elle Fanning? Dying over Jessica Hart? Wish you were besties with Rita Ora? From actresses to artists, designers to DJs, we want to hear about them all.

Sound off in the comments below, and who knows? Maybe you’ll see your girl crush on NYLONmag.com very, very shortly.

    vanessa hudgens.

  3. Briauna Says:

    Alica Vikander

  4. Kelly Says:

    Elizabeth Olsen is definitely in the top… girl can do no wrong

  5. Veronica Lombo (@veesaidshesaid) Says:

    I LOVE RITA ORA. I’m also quite obsessed with Cara Delevigne. I saw her on the street during NYFW and had a very fangirl moment, and nearly started hyperventilating. As a 26 year old, this can be quite embarrassing. I appreciate her not so cookie cutter style because I believe that normal is boring. WERQ EYEBROWS.

  6. Ashley Marie Says:

    Marina of Marina and the Diamonds, Rita Ora, and always Vanessa Hudgens!

  7. Arianne Says:

    CL from K-POP Girl Group 2NE1. Queen of Cool, Bestfriends with Jeremy Scott and a female icon for Korean Pop.

  8. Reed Says:

    Zoë Kravitz 4evr

  9. Kendall Says:

    Sky Ferreira, Cara Dellie, and of course….. Cory Kennedy :) xxxx

  10. natalya Says:

    Alexa Chung!

  11. LOUIE Says:

    I know she’s not an It Girl, but my fave is Chloë Grace Moretz

  12. holly Says:

    Definitely Jenn from clothesencounters. She has such a great personality and a wonderful sense of style

  13. Alejandra Says:

    Lou Doillon!

  14. Angela Contreras Says:

    My ultimate it girl would be Jojo Bitter. She’s not very well known but wow does she have amazing style. She is the fiance of Levi Benton who is the lead singer of a band called Miss May I. I think she is amazing from the way she dresses to her personality and her morals. Any girl that can rock that tough edgy look mixed with a bit of feminism is an It-Girl in my book.

  15. Ash Says:

    Cat Marnell!!!!

  16. Maya Says:

    Michelle Obama…does that count? I’m kind of obsessed with her. Especially after the “Evolution of Mom Dancing” video.

  17. Michelle Says:

    jennifer lawrence and rebel wilson!!

  18. Maya Says:

    If Michelle Obama is on the old side for “It Girl” then I’d have to say Zooey Deschanel.

  19. b Says:

    I’ve always looked to Charlotte Gainsbourg and Françoise Hardy as It Girls but my most recent It Girl of the moment would be Elle Fanning. I’m absolutely head over heels for her. I also predict a massive Karen O resurgence once the YYY’s new LP drops. It’s going to be brilliant! And Lucy Liu will always be one of my favourite women so I suppose that makes her an It Girl as well.

  20. ella Says:

    shirley kurata, petra collins, luz pavon and tavi gevinson :) ok ok and alexa!

  21. laura Says:

    CARA DELEVINGNE!

  22. Cheech Says:

    Anja Rubik. She can literally throw on a patterned jean, black pump and a sailor shirt and still look gorgeous. Definitely an It Girl

  23. catherine Says:

    rihanna, jennifer lawrence, mila kunis

  24. Nic Says:

    I have a girl-crush on Carrie Brownstein from Portlandia/ Wild Flag/ Sleater Kinney. She’s in a league of her own. She doesn’t try to be trendy, but she is one of the coolest people around.

  25. Kristen Says:

    Hayley Williams. Hands down!

  26. Sarah Vetter Says:

    Dree Hemingway I predict will come up as the unsung it girl in the next few years
    With her new Indie Film award for her now recognized acting skills, and artistically royal blood lines, Dree’s life is as interesting as her style. Every outfit from day to evening looks so effortlessly adorned on her. Almost like the clothes are happy to be there. I would love to see more of Dree Hemingway, in every way.

  27. Chloe Valentine Says:

    PETRA COLLINS! Hands down. She is a photographic time travelling nostalgic wizard genius. Thanks for introducing me to her, Nylon. She is rad rad rad.

  28. Nancy Says:

    My it girls are of course Alexa Chung , drew Barrymore I’ve always loved her style Miley Cyrus ,

  36. Becky Says:

    Cloe Norgaard!!!!!

  37. Jen Stever Says:

    Jillian Rabe is my hero because she’s a super strong businesswoman with skills and finesse in the fashion industry. She sets the bar high in all she does and expects the best from those lucky enough to be around her.

  38. Fiona Says:

    I am becoming a bit obsessed with Ellie Goulding/ Gwen Stefani’s street style both know how to rock a sweater with out looking frumpy and that takes effort bro! They are flawlessly edgy and will forever be my fashion inspirations for those days when you just want look bad ass but not have to wear six inch platforms to do so (I leave Taylor Swift for the days when I want to go as innocent as a doe eyed Natalie Wood dancing along side Tony)

  39. Marcela Says:

    Chloe Norgaard is a great newcomer (Rodart Fall 2013 guys?) I think she fits as the nylon it girl… definitely on the radar with this girl.

She’s so unbelievably quirky and unique and I love that she can be herself when she’s surrounded by gorgeous models all the time, also have you seen the girls eyebrows?! I’ve always crushed on Camilla Belle. Her eyebrows are oh so amazing, and made me embrace my own eyebrows. Also, have you seen her style?
