Presenting the Aussie Style Hall of Fame.

These illustrious Aussies were chosen because they have not only become household names in Australia but have also made an enduring impact on a global level.

Included in our star list are movie stars, models, and musicians as well as renowned animal activist Steve Irwin, infamous outlaw and folk hero Ned Kelly, and Kevin Rudd, Australia's popular Prime Minister.

Before rocketing to world renown on the big screen, award winning actresses Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, and Cate Blanchett got their starts on Australian television. In addition to dedicating themselves to their craft, these ladies also pledge their support to charitable organizations including United Nations programs and the Australian Conservation Foundation.

Actors Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, Eric Bana, Hugh Jackman, Paul Hogan, and Heath Ledger have all received prestigious nominations, awards, and international acclaim. In the case of Mel Gibson, this also extends into his movie production, direction, and screenwriting efforts. 

A model, actress, philanthropist, and a successful businesswoman, Sydney-born Elle Macpherson has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine a record number of five times. Fellow model, Miranda Kerr, was the first Australian addition to the popular lingerie brand Victoria's Secret Angels campaign. 

Hugely successful rock and roll band AC/DC has been topping the concert scene for more than 30 years. With more than 200 million albums sold worldwide it's easy to see why Rolling Stone has rated them one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Following in their footsteps, alternative rockers Silverchair have been bestowed with the Australian recording industry's ARIA Awards an unparalleled 20 times, receiving both commercial and critical success with nods from Rolling Stone and the American magazine, Entertainment Weekly.
