Always stylish when it's time for a big event, Fey has earned her fashion cred. Fey does not take cues from her fictional counterparts Liz Lemon may pull her hair back with chip clips and hold her bra together with tape, but the lackadaisical attitude about clothing does not correspond to Fey’s reality. Over the years, Fey has proved adept at carving out her look-an immaculately coiffed brunette bob, thick glasses, and a great pair of heels are her signatures-and infusing variety into her wardrobe. Humor is her focus, even when she’s decked out in Thom Browne. Given her many accomplishments, it’s easy to overlook the fact that Fey has also found success within the world of fashion. Her ability to dissect issues pertaining to feminism, politics, and self-image in a way that provokes thought as well as chuckles has won her everything from multiple Emmys to the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Whether she’s playing the beleaguered show-runner Liz Lemon trying to have it all in the male-dominated world of sketch-comedy or new kid Cady Heron navigating the ins and outs of the high school social hierarchy, Fey takes situations every woman can relate to and turns them into side-splitting social commentary. As the creative force behind 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and several seasons of Saturday Night Live, where she served as head writer, Fey, who turns 50 today, has become synonymous with an offbeat style of humor that highlights the absurdity of modern life.
