Daphne Guinness
A British-born aristocrat, Daphne Guinness has been a muse to some of the most famous designers, from Karl Lagerfeld to Alexander McQueen. A perpetual on the ‘Best Dressed’ lists of magazines and fashion publications, Guinness also dabbles in art and poetry, with her own perfume, cosmetics and jewellery lines.

Glenn Close
The original Cruella de Vil, Glenn Close is a legendary Hollywood actor, with seminal roles in movies such as Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons. The winner of an Emmy and several Golden Globes and Tony awards, she’s also been nominated eight times for an Oscar, making her one of the highest-nominated female actors without a win in the history of the academy.

Emmylou Harris
The American country singer has enjoyed a career spanning over 50 years, where she has collaborated with everyone from Dolly Parton to Bright Eyes and released around 30 albums. An activist, a philanthropist and Grammy winner several times over, Emmylou Harris has supported the Vietnam Veterans Association of America, called for a landmine- free world and fought for feminism and animal rights—just a few of the many concerns close to her heart. Married thrice, she has two grandchildren and spends her time nowadays mainly in Nashville, Texas.

Maye Musk
Mother to business magnate Elon Musk, Maye Musk has been a model for over half a century. The Canadian-South African diva is also a trained dietician, having completed a masters on the subject from the University of Toronto. She’s appeared on the covers of several noteworthy fashion publications, in addition to being a best-selling author and speaker.

Iris Apfel
A former interior designer and textile specialist, Iris Apfel is a fashion icon of sorts. She curated an exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, dedicated entirely to costume jewellery she owned and wore over the years. Iris, a documentary on her life by Albert Maysles, brought her global acclaim. She’s also been a consultant for The White House for years, having seen over nine different presidencies.

Meryl Streep
Often described as the best actor of her generation, Meryl Streep is a name synonymous with unforgettable acting prowess, as displayed in Sophie’s Choice, Kramer vs Kramer, The Iron Lady or The Devil Wears Prada. The three-time Academy Award winner is considered one of the best-dressed actors in the industry, often seen in subtle creations that exude a regal aura. Streep’s role in Death Becomes Her is, perhaps, particularly poignant, given the nature of this feature, where she plays a former actor willing to give up her soul for an elixir that provides people with eternal beauty and immortality.
