21 times Chloe Sevigny was the coolest girl in the world
Chloe Sevigny was famously dubbed "the coolest girl in the world" by the New Yorker when she was just 19 and, impressively, now 41, she's managed to maintain that status. Elusive, removed and nonchalent, Sevigny manages to make gross clothes look 100 percent desirable.
As the 90s fashion revival rolls on, Sevigny's "wonky outfits" (her description) are more relevant than ever. From 90s skater girl and original It girl (a tag she hates, incidentally) to Chloe and Opening Ceremony, we look back at undefinable cool of Chloe Sevigny:

Rex FeaturesSuede shorts, braces and a white tee were order of the day for Sevigny back ion the 90s.
Rex FeaturesShe chose a relaxed look of a shirt dress and wedge espadrilles for the premiere of Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004.
Rex FeaturesOn a lesser mortal this gingham pinny would look somewhat matronly, but on Sevigny it's the picture of grungy cool.
Rex FeaturesSevigny says she doesn't know how to dress for the red carpet, but we applaud her predisposition to always chose the bolder option, as seen here at a Louis Vuitton charity event in 2004.
Rex FeaturesBlack and white is never boring if you have enough attitude to carry it off a la Sevigny at the premiere of Walk The Line in 2004.
Rex FeaturesThere's something irreverent and bling about Sevigny's decision to wear such a high-octane necklace with such a bright pink cocktail dress in 2007. It's perfectly mismatched.
Rex FeaturesWhat to wear for a Morrissey concert? Something you might wear on a long walk. But Sevigny pulls it off.
Rex FeaturesWe love the voluminous pleats of Sevigny's dress here, which adds an off-kilter effect to the classic little white dress.

Rex FeaturesDressing for the polo isn't easy without looking old-fashioned or like a minor royal, but Sevigny references the past with her boater hat but keeps in modern and fresh with the scalloped hem shorts. Smart, yet youthful.

Rex FeaturesBringing her signature pared-down nonchalance to a Calvin Klein party in denim cut-offs, a white shirt and blazer.
Rex FeaturesHere we have an outfit that would look hideous on most (not many grown women can get away with knee-high socks sadly), but Sevigny nails with aplomb.
Rex FeaturesAt the 2010 Met Gala in a turquoise lace mini dress, teamed with platform heels to add a tough edge.
Rex FeaturesShe celebrated New Year's Eve 2011 in a ruffled check mini dress and ankle boots - a cool version of the Home and Away school uniform. Full marks all round.
Rex FeaturesAt the Met Gala 2012 in a disc dress. This look confuses us in a good way - it's part futuristic, but also has a 60s appeal. Copy with caution.
Rex FeaturesWho doesn't want a summer dress this pretty? Toughen yours up with a pair of black ankle boots.
Rex FeaturesThe perfect low-key, shopping outfit - a kick-flare, cropped jeans loafers and a white shirt.
