#29 Jenna Lyons—163
WHAT: President and Executive Creative Director, J.Crew
WHY: Because she proved that mixing leopard with stripes, khaki with fur, and sneakers with satin would become the new uniform of the young, modern woman. Because she stayed cool as a cucumber while being interviewed one-on-one by Oprah, and because as a hard-working, Brooklyn-living, mix-it-up lady, she makes us want to be like her. And we know you do, too.
