Fashion icon: Faye Dunaway

Everyone from Peaches Geldof to Sarah Brown has taken to the humble beret this season; likewise, high street stores such as Miss Selfridge (where you can seemingly buy a sequinned one in nearly every colour) are offering them at humble prices. How fitting then, that this month\'s style icon is Faye Dunaway. When she blasted on to cinema screens in 1967 opposite Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde, her beige felt cap - offset by cheekbones you could balance a pencil on - was the icing on one of the most stylish looks ever to hit celluloid. Similarly, her turns in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Chinatown (1973) see her sporting a series of outfits so sharp they are in danger of stealing her considerable acting thunder. Over the next few frames - beret or no - handbag.com celebrates the most impeccable outifts of celebrity fashion icon Faye Dunaway. Danielle Radojcin
