Their parents may not have been the greatest style icons, what with all the leather and the mullets, but these gorgeous and sassy girls are certainly paving their own way and gaining some serious fashion cred. Who are they? Well, there's a few but here a two I don't doubt you've heard of.
Peaches Geldof (or is it Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof?), daughter of rock icon Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates. Bob is a famous political activist (known mostly for his work with Live Aid and Live 8) and came to fame as a member of the rock band The Boomtown Rats and Paula, a British TV presenter, made infamous by her relationship with deceased Michael Hutchence.
Peaches, however, lives in a class of her own. Aged 19 she's a London It girl, the face of Dotti in Australia and is loud and outspoken.

Peaches famously branded Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine (from 'What Not To Wear' fame) "upper-class bitches with no fashion sense" and if her eclectic style is anything to go she sure wont be following their lead.

And then, of course, there's:
Stella McCartney: daughter of rock royalty Paul McCartney (from Beatles fame) and of the deceased Linda McCartney (rock photographer and animal rights activist). Stella has paved her own way into the fashion pack. She has her own label and when her clothes hit selected Target stores in Aus her pieces flew of the racks in frantic waves. She studied fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. She strongly supports PETA and, so, does not use fur and leather in her designs. She designs fabulous clothes and always looks fabulous, leading the pack of London A-Listers.

Gorgeous and Leggy.

And there you have it: two true style icons from true rock royalty. Both have their fans and their haters but what do you think? Are these two style icons in their own right or are they running on the coat-tails of their very famous parents?

| Im always cautious using the words "style icon". So often its chucked around a bit, i think it takes years to truly earn such a title... More and more i think the words "style icon" could be interchanges with "really rich with good clothes" |
