How to be stylish when you're skiing The challenge of being glamorous below zero

When the temperature is above freezing, it can be difficult enough to put together a decent outfit, but what do we do when the snow is raging, the streets are freezing and the duvet seems to be the only piece of clothing we want to wear at all? Despite the harsh weather and impassable roads, celebrities have made skiing a staple of the glamorous lifestyle, from Brigitte Bardot's flawless, altitude-proof make-up to Cher's glitzy '80s outfits to Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton's loud Y2K outfits: stylish in the snow? You can, but with a few little tricks.

From mirrored sunglasses to fur gloves, accessories are key when it comes to looking chic and staying warm. Cher wearing a slim fuchsia headband in Aspen in 1977 and Princess Diana wearing a red and white braided headband in Klosters in 1986 steal the show when it comes to vintage headwear inspiration. Both on and off the slopes, Brigitte Bardot is the benchmark for oversized oval sunglasses, while Sophia Loren pairs classic aviator glasses and a Christmas jumper with a striking red scarf in a 1978 shot on the slopes. In the 2000s, ski fashion became sexy as icons like Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham wore low-slung snow trousers, oversized mirrored goggles and fur-trimmed jackets, paving the way for the next generation of trendsetters and influencers. Between moon boots and total looks from Fendi or Chanel, holidaying in the snow is an exercise in style for Kylie Jenner, but despite the commitment, most of the viral moments belong to her sister Kendall, from when she posed surrounded by snow in a bikini and yeti boots to the dark green Loewe bomber jacket that has become the most coveted part of a winter wardrobe. So whichever way you go for your snow outfit, the prospects of an Instagramming moment in the Alps are definitely there.
