Jenna Lyons On Her Signature Style, Meeting Kate Middleton And The Met Gala Toilets | ELLE UK

Over the years Jenna Lyons' name has become synonymous with thick-rimmed, oversized glasses and sleeked back hair fixed back into a low bun.
This 'signature look' was even parodied by Lyons' friends Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, the co-creators of Girls, with whom she attended the 2017 Met Gala in coordinated Lyons-inspired looks.
So what is the story behind her signature look?
We sat down with the former J.Crew executive director to play a game of It's A Mood to find out everything behind her looks. From the J Crew outfit she wore to meet Kate Middleton to her first ever Instagram post.

[@soapgirlsrule]

Love this, but wish they put the outfit picture next to the video of her talking so we could see the details she's talking about.

[@juanmiguel8574]

I don't care what anybody says. I LOVE this woman!

[@parisensore]

Even Jenna Lyons mistakes the term button-down for button-front. Button down is a type of collar.

[@pb4531]

Love her Issa mood

[@Antistylestyleclub]

You are my mood ❤️

I’ve never heard of j crew until housewives. I have heard of crew like the gel brand.

Here because of RHONY

[@jeanniepulice6831]

Looooove Jenna’s style. Her personality or the way she portrays herself publicly I feel is quirky & forced, but I’m not 💯 convinced that’s who she really is.

[@Mac62671]

I wish she would do a special collection for J crew. Its simply not as interesting any more. Its like going to an upscale target for clothing

[@skontheroad]

What's the point without a lot of pics???
