She has influenced the classically chic looks of consumers from the average mall goer to Michelle Obama.

She is the president and creative director of J. Crew.

A lot of conservative commenters were upset when Lyons painted her 5-year-old son's toenails pink earlier this year.

Now Lyons is in the midst of a messy divorce from her husband of nine years, artist Vincent Mazeau.

In addition, Lyons has gotten romantically involved with another woman who works in the fashion industry since her summer split from her husband.

J. Crew's representative refused to comment on Lyons' personal life.

Partly because of an Oprah segment on her personal closet, the six-foot-five brunette has become an icon for fashion lovers in the past year.

However, Lyons questioned her influence in an interview with New York Magazine. She said her goal is not to be a tastemaker.

Lyons added the idea that you can make taste or influence someone's taste is a very precarious and overly presumptuous concept.
