These girls may not get the coverage Angelina Jolie or Lindsay Lohan get, but they are some of the most fashionable gals walking the city streets and red carpets, alike. Check out some of the top indie fashionistas out there.

1. Chloë Sevigny

Indie fashion’s reigning queen. Sure, she may walk the red carpet with more mainstream celebs, but she will never blend in. This girl knows her fashion and she knows what she likes. And designers adore her for it. The always-edgy “IT” girl has even stomped the catwalk for Dolce & Gabbana.

2. Christina Ricci

Montblanc Signature For Good Charity Gala

While she’s had her share of fashion misses over the years, this petite actress is never afraid to take risks. Like her indie counterpart, Chloë, she’s also been plucked out of the crowd of cookie-cutter starlets by a top fashion house, Louis Vuitton, to strut her stuff on the runway.

3. Michelle Williams

She may seem mainstream, but her fashion (like her film roles) is more off-beat-meets-sophisticated than most young actresses. Always girly and carefree, her style is never fussy but always her own. And who can forget her unique saffron gown she wore to the Academy Awards in 2006.

4. Lily Allen

Glastonbury Festival 2009 - Lily Allen

This girl is nuts! But, somehow, her fashion antics seem to work. Whether she’s blonde or brunette, this is one headstrong Brit who goes to the edge of fashion and back again. Recently, she’s been trying some really interesting looks both on stage and off.

5. Maggie Gyllenhaal

'The Dark Knight' London Premiere

Retro-glam is something this gal does best. She really put a twist on old Hollywood when she walked the red carpet at the 2009 Golden Globes in a one-shoulder turquoise leopard-print gown by Lanvin. It was stunning, and for that dress alone, she makes the list.

    Zooey Deschanel is the quintessential indie IT girl in my mind, and with amazing style. Can’t believe you didn’t even include her.

    Victoria, I love Zooey! You’re are so right! She is my absolute favorite. But, I already did a post dedicated solely to her. I didn’t want to go overboard…people might think I’m crazy. haha
    Check out the Zooey post.
