Like Most Fashion Girls, Chloë's Found Inspiration From Iconic Movies

"I love Cleopatra, with Elizabeth Taylor," she once told W magazine. "And [my brother] Trevor showed me Breakfast at Tiffany's when I was 8 or 9. I love Audrey Hepburn. Watching that film, I realized that through acting you can transport an audience to another time and place and state of feeling."

"[My brother] Trevor has introduced me to tons of fashion," Chloë also revealed to W. "But when we were there, I got obsessed. I used to wear button-down shirts and little sweaters, and I looked like an adult, but now I want to have a Christopher Kane kind of style. I'm moody: I wear a lot of black — but I could reinvent myself tomorrow."

"I've honestly been wearing a ton of little scarves around my neck — little ones that you tie," she told us at Coach's NYFW show. "That's kind of something that I've been doing a lot of recently and I feel like a lot of people have been doing it, too."

"It can be walking art," Chloë said, talking about fashion. "People say don't judge a book by its cover, but if someone wears a crazy outfit, they're automatically a crazy person. If you wear a tame outfit, you're automatically a prude. You can be whoever you want through what you wear."

13

And Comfort Is Key

"I just try and dress in something that makes me feel like I'm being my best self," Chloë revealed. "Something that's comfortable that I can run around in, because I'm usually going all over LA and New York all day long running errands. I honestly just try and keep it comfortable and keep it low-key."

Chloë Enjoys Posting #Bikinigrams — but Not For the Reason You Think

"I do it because it's a body-confidence thing," Chloë said in a recent Glamour interview, partially in response to the whole Kim Kardashian Twitter feud. "I posted one in Mexico. I felt good, and I was wearing a bikini on a beach. It wasn't me sexualizing myself. It was with a beautiful background. When I posted it, I knew that there would be a lot of young women looking. So I made sure that it was tasteful . . . I get called prudish."
