Elizabeth Taylor, Spotlight on a Fashion Icon

When news hit early this morning that Elizabeth Taylor passed away from complications of congenital heart failure, I was stunned. I had read in the media that she was in the hospital but surely thought she would make it out and be back at chilling in weho on Sunday's fairly soon. Alas, that was not to happen.

Although it makes me very sad that she has passed, she leaves us with great memories with her roles in Butterfield 8, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, Cleopatra and my favorite- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Her contributions to the film industry are immense, her on going humanitarian contributions to Aids research are unprecedented, her entrepreneur skills with all her beauty lines (She was officially the beginning of celebrities becoming there own beauty and fashion empires) but most of all I will remember her for her fabulous sense of style and love for jewels.

Doing all this research very early this morning, I came across so many pictures, articles and style ideas. If you have some down time I HIGHLY suggest you check out Polyvore which has an abundance of how to guides to achieve the Liz Taylor look. 

As a women with such elegance, style and glamour; Elizabeth Taylor was really one of that last actresses from the big studio generations. Looking back on her fashion choices, they were very lady like  or daring- her style was classic and all of her pictures are so beautiful, breath taking and fabulous- it's hard to choose just a couple to post for your viewing. I have pulled a small collection from around the web below (Please click on the images individually to expand them to a larger size).

Again, there is not enough I can say at this point other than Rest in Peace Elizabeth, you will never be forgotten.
