The most iconic J. Crew moments during Jenna Lyons' tenure
Jenna Lyons made us see getting dressed differently. From sequins for day to entirely original ways of wearing a trusty button-down, the outgoing creative director and president of J. Crew became a style icon in her own right. And from dressing Michelle Obama to wearing feathers to Solange Knowles' wedding (not to mention her guest appearance in Girls) there have been plenty of major style moments in her 26-year tenure.
