The 15 Hottest Hipster Actresses

Whether she'd like to admit it or not, Gerwig is basically the pioneer of mumblecore, a subgenre of indie film which is characterized by low budget production values, amateur actors and very naturalistic dialogue. After starring in, writing and directing mumblecore films like Hannah Takes the Stairs and Nights and Weekends—not to mention, starring in hipster demigod Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress—Greta is essentially the first lady of the culture.

If you're still unsure what a hipster is, just refer to the vintage dress aficionado Lena Dunham. After writing, directing and starring in the indie film Tiny Furniture, HBO pegged Dunham to create Girls (a series about the very definition of the word), which is set in the hipster capital of the world, Brooklyn, NY. The show, which in many ways is the ying to Sex in the City's yang, has not only catapulted this tattooed actress to the forefront of young Hollywood, but it's also made the culture more visible to the mainstream.

Chloe Sevigny has been an indie princess ever since she starred in her very first film, 1995's Kids, a controversial indie flick about about a group of inner-city skateboarders. Years later, Chloe's stuck to her roots with some bizarre career choices, not the least of which was performing an explicit sex scene in 2003's The Brown Bunny, a film directed by and starred Sevigny's then-boyfriend, the hipster hero Vincent Gallo.

Doing anything hipstery should just be called "pulling a Mary Kate." In 2008's The Wackness, Mary-Kate played Union, a free-spirited weed enthusiast, and in Showtime's Weeds, well, she pretty much played the same exact character. And if you were to see her on the street, you may think that she's researching a similar role. Often seen in ponchos and multiple scarves at time, it's hard to tell if MK is going for the hipster look or the homeless look.

Ever since she played a fast-talking teen mom in 2007's Juno, Ellen Page has been a cultural icon. Her character's offbeat verbiage was hipsterific in every way. And Page's style, which is more record shop clerk than Hollywood starlet, would make her a perfect fit at any "ultra cool" grungy bar with a photo booth.

Adorable English actress who never brushes her hair, Juno Temple, star of the upcoming lesbian werewolf drama Jack and Diane (in theaters Friday), has the laid back, relaxed style of a new age rocker (which makes sense, considering her dad Julien Temple built his career documenting the Sex Pistols). Juno, whose first name is even synonymous with a famous indie movie, oozes cool, fuckouttahere confidence, which you'd need to pull off the outfit above.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara looks more like the singer of a folk band than a highly sought after Hollywood actress. She's waifish. She always looks like someone told her a dead baby joke. Her hair is ever changing and never conventional. And currently, she's filming an upcoming Terrence Malick movie playing exactly what we just described opposite male hipster icon, Ryan Gosling.

Though she stars in big studio flicks like Journey 2 and Sucker punch, Vanessa Hudgens' new wave, bohemian style is 100% hipster. In almost any shot a paparazzi snaps, this former High School Musical star looks more like she's headed to a Phish concert than to a Hollywood backlot.

With indie films like 2009's Lymelife and 2010's It's Kind of a Funny Story, the gorgeous Emma Roberts solidified her place as one of the hottest young actresses to ever wear American Apparel. Emma's style always looks like she can quote Nietzsche, she tends to choose roles that are a little out there, and on top of that, she's also a musician who covers Weezer songs.

Emma Watson graduated from a school so exclusive that millions of students just want a rejection letter—we're talking about Hogwarts. This "Wallflower" can routinely be found roaming the grounds of music festivals like Coachella while dressed like an adorable Brooklyn girl. She must celebrate every big Quidditch win with an ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon.

She's not an obvious choice, but let's lay out Portman's creds: She's a brainy Harvard graduate, outspoken vegetarian and recently had Dior create a line of vegan shoes just for her. If you ask us, spearheading an animal friendly vegan shoe line is an Oscar for the hipster community.

• Are her parents are super cool? Yup, and they just happen to be Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. But it's not like it's a big deal, or whatever.

• Is she an L.A. girl living in Brooklyn? Check—she lives in Williamsburg.

• Is she showcased in quirky indie films? Dunzo—she's in It's Kind of a Funny Story and Beware the Gonzo.

Sienna Miller, who starred in Factory Girl, is what female Warhol worshippers aspire to be. She's a muse for top designers and can effortlessly pull off thrift store fashions. But personal style isn't just what makes her a poster girl of the culture. She's currently dating perpetually disheveled actor Tom Sturridge, who's starring in the film adaptation of the hipster bible, Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
