"Dear Ginnifer Goodwin (or whomever it is that&amp;#x27;s responsible for shrouding you in constant chicness): I&amp;#x27;ve got a serious style crush on you. In fact, I haven&amp;#x27;t felt this overwhelmed by feelings of longing and admiration and unattainability since this guy named Keith who barely gave me a second glance when I was in the 9th grade... I&amp;#x27;ve been crushing on you for a while now, but it was really last week&amp;#x27;s Emmy Awards--where you showed up in a grape colored gown by Yves Saint Laurent with a plunging neckline and the perfect statement necklace--that cemented my eternal devotion to you and your closet. Want to learn how to get Ginnifer&amp;#x27;s look for less? Sign up for our Style Tip of the Week newsletter! Like the bizarre spelling of your first name or the quirky roles you choose, your wardrobe stands squarely in the &amp;quot;off the beaten path&amp;quot; category. You take a dress that I&amp;#x27;d never in a million years choose (hello, the froufy Marc Jacobs number below!) and somehow manage to make it look sophisticated and sweet and best of all, real. You, my darling Ginnifer, are no red carpet robot. The very thought of a standard celeb issue Herve Leger bandage dress and Louboutin Prive peep-toes is probably enough to send your system into absolute shock from pure boredom. You&amp;#x27;ve got some strange style habits that I&amp;#x27;d call automatic no-nos on anyone else--being too matchy matchy (see the purple shoes from the Emmys and the neutral accessories overload with this Bottega Veneta look below); pairing black tights and pumps with just about everything and anything; hardly ever smiling in photos--but I must admit, on you they&amp;#x27;re just all the more endearing. You take risks, you go out on limbs, you make mistakes, you have real style. You make the term &amp;quot;hanger appeal&amp;quot; totally obsolete, because the minute you throw a dress on, even if I thought I hated it, it has life (see below for examples from Azarro, Escada, and Camilla and Marc). So thank you, Ginnifer (or um, your stylist), for reminding us that the Hollywood wardrobe doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be boring. Thank you for not pouring yourself into a skintight LBD, pairing it with towering stilettos, and calling it your &amp;quot;style.&amp;quot; Thank you for taking chances, for looking a little disheveled sometimes, and for rocking that quirky pixie cut like nobody else can.
