Becka Diamond Reveals The Secrets To Her Rock-Chic Ways
She adores Edie Sedgwick's "insane eye makeup," Iggy Pop's leather pants, and Janis Joplin for the feathers, but up-and-coming actress and all-around style sensation Becka Diamond is cultivating an iconic look--and attitude--that's all her. Despite this girl-in-demand's crazy schedule, she managed to squeeze us in for an afternoon pow-wow at her Brooklyn abode (she has lawn ornaments!). Getting a smile out of the typically camera-ready countenance that Becka has perfected was no easy task, but we rose to the challenge, and lo and behold, this muse-of-the-moment has dimples...not to mention, a closet to kill for.

Living or dead, who do you find particularly inspiring?
"The first person who came to mind is Edie Sedgwick. I love the platinum hair, insane eye makeup, lashes, black tights, and general "I don't give a shit" attitude. Iggy Pop—the leather pants, bleached and beaten up, I love it. Courtney Love—the whole kinder-whore thing she invented. Axl Rose for his velvet pants. Janis Joplin for the feathers, over the top hats, and glasses. David Bowie for his ability to transform himself, and still remain exactly who he is."
