The pantheon of men's style icons is surprisingly compact. There are scores of uniquely handsome and stylish actors, pop stars, sportsmen but when it comes to their decades-long influence and a sense of permanence unaffected by trends in fashion, three square-jawed American boys next door stand out: Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Robert Redford, who died yesterday at 89. Redford's death is, obviously, a loss to cinema. In the latter half of the 20th century, few actors so roundly embodied the soul of American film-making, or perhaps even the US itself.

Lola Tung has swiftly risen as a style icon, captivating audiences at major fashion events while showcasing a balance of romantic and edgy wardrobe choices.
