We women continue to swallow this line that it's unladylike or even proof of being a lesbian if you wear flat shoes like Doc Martens. I'm prepared to put up with that accusation, because at least my feet aren't killing me and I don't look like a bandy ostrich.

Jo Brand

My style is definitely not ladylike - frills and bows kinda scare me - but I like the military look because I love that olive green khaki color.

Cameron Russell

My private life is a lot more ladylike and less sultry than the fashion photos I imagine.

Carine Roitfeld

My clothes are an extension of my personality. I'd look awful in ladylike dresses.

Carol Channing

I have classic and feminine taste. I'm definitely drawn to vintage-inspired and ladylike things. I like an accentuated waist, and a strong shoulder works well with my figure.

Christina Hendricks

Fits did not go over well in my house. There was a lot of discipline and obedience and you had to be very ladylike. Ladies didn't curse and I still don't curse in front of my parents.

Daisy Fuentes

People should be allowed to roll out of bed and go to an interview; people shouldn't be telling you, 'You can't curse because it's not ladylike.' I don't believe in those standards.

Daya

I wish I were shyly, quietly intriguing, like Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, like someone French and fashionable who knows how to twirl her ladylike locks just so and walk adroitly on kitten heels, who is all gesture and whisper - but I am unfortunately forward and forthright: When I am interested in a man, he absolutely knows it.

Elizabeth Wurtzel

I don't like the word 'ladylike.'

Emilia Wickstead

You can see that ladylike kind of dressing with a twist coming back at Dior, and I think that a lot of the fashion is following in those kinds of footsteps. It's wearable. It sits in your wardrobe forever.

Emilia Wickstead

I would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.'

Felicity Jones

The wholesome is definitely intentional and drilled into me. I mean, we weren't allowed to pierce our ears growing up. We didn't wear makeup. We couldn't have layers in our hair, perms, or color, or manicures. My dad didn't think it was ladylike. My dad just felt like his daughters should be wholesome.

Jennifer Garner

We women continue to swallow this line that it's unladylike or even proof of being a lesbian if you wear flat shoes like Doc Martens. I'm prepared to put up with that accusation, because at least my feet aren't killing me and I don't look like a bandy ostrich.

Jo Brand

I do think anger is so difficult for women. Girls think it undermines their femininity; it's not very ladylike.

Koren Zailckas

Weirdly, my nickname was Lady. I didn't get Stretch, or Stilts, or Spider Legs - I got Lady. I guess I was always a bit ladylike.

L'Wren Scott

I think jazz guitar isn't very ladylike in general. Not that it shouldn't be.

Mary Halvorson

Whatever your fight, don't be ladylike.

Mary Harris Jones

I try hard to look hip but ladylike; current, but not like I'm trying to be 16.

Morgan Fairchild

I've constantly tried new things, even as a child, and have always been obsessed with pink. Now I'm just a little more ladylike and fearless. You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It's exhilarating.

Nicki Minaj

My musical taste and image is going to change naturally. It's not forced; I do what comes natural to me. Sometimes, I like to be dark... other times, I like to be really light and ladylike.

Rihanna

I don't feel ashamed to be loud, which is an argument I've had with lots of men, who thought I was too sassy and unladylike.

SZA
