Katharine Hepburn, Grace Jones, Ruby Rose—all these leading ladies have proven that androgyny can be beautiful, sexy and powerful. Instead of calling this a menswear-inspired fashion feature, we pay tribute to the women who inspire us to straddle the line between masculine and feminine.

Thanks to them, we rock our oversize blazers, boyfriend jeans, surf trunks and strong eyebrows, and still feel like Wonder Women.
