Marilyn Monroe, the woman known by her style of a sexy idol. During her lifetime other people envied Marilyn, but in fact the woman was awfully unhappy although she actress rolled in luxury and was admired by her fans.

People following her style had a chance to get closer to the higher caste which helped them in business and private life.
 
Audrey Hepburn was known by her princess style. It seems that she was born a princess; nobody would have performed a princess better than Audrey. The actress had inborn elegance that she inherited from her mother, but at the same time Audrey was captivatingly unprotected in everything. Audrey was a real princess although she didn't have this right by birth. While Marilyn Monroe was considered sexy, Audrey was admired for her aristocracy. The talent of the actress was actually great as well. But Audrey Hepburn went down in history thanks to her ability to behave with dignity in public, which is the manner typical only of royal family members. 
 
Madonna is known by her style of a rebel. The diva is always changing her style, but she started the career from imitating Marilyn Monroe. Nowadays, the style of Madonna herself is widely imitated; women all over the world are imitating her perpetually changing style and the art of staying attractive in the course of time. When Madonna was young she was known for her intolerance, protest and the inclination to shocking doings; but in her mature age Madonna has changed the habits of the youth for exquisite feminity and gentleness.
