Marc Jacobs' Famous and Fashionable Celebrity Friendships

On the fashion designer's birthday, L'OFFICIEL takes a look at Marc Jacobs' most famous and inspiring celebrity liaisons throughout the years.

Marc Jacobs and Victoria Beckham

Very few designers are as loved and admired as Marc Jacobs. One can judge the designer by the company he keeps, always surrounded by an inner circle of A-listers, many of whom are very close friends of his. Over the years, the designer has dressed the most famous stars in the world and tied creative and friendly bonds with many of them. Among his top devotees you can find celebrities like Victoria Beckham—who was photographed by Juergen Teller popping out of a Marc Jacobs shopping bag in 2008—his muse Dakota Fanning, his longtime friend Winona Ryder, and film director Sofia Coppola, with whom Jacobs goes way back to the early '90s before he started designing for the prestigious house of Louis Vuitton. On the New York-born and bred designer's 58th birthday, L'OFFICIEL looks back at Jacobs' closest celebrity ties marked by fashion and friendship.

Jacobs and Coppola's friendship stretches to the very early days of their careers. Jacobs has designed nearly every gown that Coppola has worn to shows like the Oscars.

Kate Moss and Jacobs have been very close friends for decades, having worked together on countless occasions. She's starred in his campaigns, been his date to the Met Gala, attended his wedding, and now her daugher, Lila Moss, has even fronted a campaign for the designer.

Jacobs and rapper 'Lil Kim have a strong friendship that even withstood her time in prison in the early 2000s. She once said that the designer wrote her every day when she was serving her serving her 10-month sentence in the early 2000s. She also said that she painted his designs onto Bratz dolls in a coloring book, and the designer loved it so much he had it blown up to hang as art in his house.

Both Dakota and her sister Elle Fanning are two of Jacobs' most consistent models, to the point where one could consider them his muses. In 2011, Dakota starred in a fragrance campaign for Jacobs' Oh, Lola! which was banned in the UK for its suggestive positioning of the perfume bottle. Although the actress was surprised at the reaction she said she and Jacobs, "just laughed about it."

Time and time again actress Christina Ricci has starred in campaigns, worn Jacobs' pieces, and spoken his praises. Here, the pair are photographed at the designer's Fall/Winter 2013 fashion show.

Miley Cyrus' vibrant energy is a perfect match to Jacobs'. The singer has walked the designer's runway, and the pair have even collaborated together, creating a stylish pink hooded sweatshirt, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefitting Planned Parenthood.

Apparently the duo became friends after Jacobs saw Beckham carrying a fake Vuitton bag in a magazine picture and sent her the real one.
