No one can make casual and effortless look so glamorous and chic, quite like Minka Kelly. That’s right, she has a red hot career, Derek Jeter (speculation or not), and killer style to boot. Some people really do have it all. The most amazing thing about Minka is how she literally looks like it's nothing. She throws on a tshirt, hat, and skirt and that’s it, no muss, no fuss, yet she always looks stunning. Minka Kelly has perfected her personal style so well, that it translates into the characters she portrayed on Friday Night Lights, Charlie’s Angels, and The Roommate. Even professional stylists and casting directors adhere to her self-imposed guidelines, which is only further proof that Minka Kelly seems to have it all figured out. Though the task of highlighting her best five outfits was quite daunting, the vote was decided on, drum roll please…

Look 5

If you look closely, you can see Minka Kelly turn the street into her own personal runway, as she leaves the Byron and Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills. Yes, her hair looks fabulous, but this cardigan is  clearly the piece she is modeling. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look 4

Surely ballerinas will never look at that pale shade of pink the same way once they see this outfit. When Minka was a guest on The Early Show this past summer, she chose a simple pairing of a high-waisted baby pink skirt and black tank. Her decision to leave the jewelery at home was surely what made this choice so spectacular. She illuminates this classic look with a lovely modern glow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look 3  

Minka chose to don the Little Black Dress when she attended James B. Duke Mansion, in New York City, to view Salvatore Farragamo's Women's Resort 2012 collection last June. Minka again opted for the quality of simplicily over the quantity of all things shiny. The end result is quite a bold statement. She proves, without a doubt, that no gems are needed to make her shine.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look 2

Most women would opt for a darker cooler dress when attending a luncheon for obvious reasons. Not Minka Kelly. She steps out in a lovely beige Victoria Beckham dress, which looks like it was made with her in mind. In an interesting style twist, she opted for the red shoes and clutch. Evidently, this worked out very well for her, as she brought some evening allure to a daytime function.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And her best look.......

 

 

Minka Kelly made opted to wear this lovely white number to the Michael Kors Boutique opening on Robertson. Though this is clearly not a wedding dress, one can only imagine what went through Derek Jeter's mind when he saw this picture. It's fair to speculate that it was of the "oops" variety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This look completes the set and proves that whatever the color, shade, or heel size is, Minka will still look casual, yet elegant. When most people go for loud outfits with large jewelery, Minka continues to adhere to the "less is more" way of life. It works, Minka Kelly is a style star who is on the rise. Be on the lookout, as some new standards are about to be set.
