Welcome back to Underrated Icons, a column that looks at the styles of icons past and present, specifically icons that don’t always get the credit they deserve.

In past posts, we’ve profiled amazing and accomplished modern feminists such as Ruth Negga, Emily Ratajkowski, and Halsey. In keeping with this theme, I decided today to highlight a person who has done a lot for the movement at such a young age, 18-year-old Amandla Stenberg.

Having begun her career as a child actress and model, Amandla is now best known for making us all cry as Rue in The Hunger Games. But more recently, she’s acted in Rio 2, appeared in Beyonce’s visual album Lemonade, and has booked upcoming lead roles in Everything, Everything and Where Hands Touch. In addition to acting, Amandla sings in a duo called Honeywater, and is even the co-author of a comic book.

On top of all that, Amandla is an outspoken non-binary intersectional feminist, and using her online presence, she’s educated and advocated for change and become the voice of a new generation. In 2015, the Ms. Foundation for Women named her “Feminist of the Year.”

It’s no doubt that Amandla is crazy inspiring – so why not channel her with your ensembles, as well as your daily actions? Here’s how to get Amandla’s fun and unique sense of style.

Where I am, it’s still freezing and snowy – ugh. In this outfit inspired by Amandla’s Sundance 2016 look, you can fight the cold while looking badass by pairing an army-green sweater dress with fleece tights, a cozy puffer parka, and combat boots.
