There are many spectacular female characters on TV who have influenced the way we dress. Here is a roundup of my all-time 20 favorite female fashionistas…Many of these shows are still on TV so be sure to check out these vixens, matriarchs, girl-next-doors, drug-dealers, spies, boardroom and bedroom butt kickers… Hope you like the few flashbacks near the end. See if you can guess who made it in to my top 20 without looking at the pics...Have I missed anybody? ![]() Claire Underwood from House of Cards... Her style epitomizes simple chic. Her clothes are always unfussy and perfectly tailored. Her gorgeous simple hair style hints at androgyny which is not surprising since if you watch the show you are always wondering who actually wears the pants in the Underwood house... ![]() Nola Lyons from Dirty Sexy Money…Any character Lucy Liu plays would be on my best dressed list (except for when she plays a foul-mouthed version of herself on SITC) because she herself is simply splendid looking. If bone structure and skin could be duplicated, then I'd like to copy and paste hers on to my face... ![]() Nikita Mears from Nikkita. Another bad-ass spy/secret operative/vigilante who somehow has unlimited?!? resources to buy awesome outfits (which she keeps where, I'm not really sure). It helps that she is super fit and the she can move in all of her outfits as the actress who portrays Nikita performs all of her own stunts on the show... ![]() Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl. No list of inspirational female tv characters would be complete without Serena. She has inspired generations of women to sleep around, spend feverishly and abuse alcohol and drugs…oops sorry, I was talking about fashion inspirations…well this character was that too…making bags bigger, heels higher and label-porn available for all ages of women. ![]() Robin Sherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother…her fashion improved halfway through the show…probably because she acclimated to NYC after moving there from CANADA. She is the girl next door with a little edge and eternal-Canada-in-her. Robin Sparkles was an especially inspiring character for teeny-boppers hanging out at malls waiting to be "discovered"... ![]() Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer…See kids, we used to watch vampire shows back in the day toooo. Buffy was the original lover/hater of hot Vampire men. Her outfits were the edgiest we had ever seen to date but very apropos for a teenager who would spend the entire night out of her house (unnoticed) killing villains. ![]() Ally Mcbeal of Ally Mcbeal. This show put a lot of stars on the map and put co-ed office bathrooms and risqué courtroom/office outfits" in vouge". Although Ally was always criticized for being a little too thin, this didn't prevent millions of women (of all sizes) from trying to emulate her style...

Great list!! Would've included Audrey Hepburn, a timeless fashion icon.
