Poppy Jabbal has never been one to play it safe. From quirky styling choices to unexpected pairings, her wardrobe is as fearless as her personality.
As the Broken But Beautiful actor turns 37, here's proof that fashion gets a lot more fun when you stop following the rulebook.

IMAGE: A leather skirt, a basic tank and chunky silver jewellery -- simple ingredients but Poppy serves them with enough attitude to make all-black feel anything but basic.
IMAGE: This sheer cover-up floating over a swimsuit is exactly what we'd imagine a mermaid wearing on her day off. The white sunglasses are just the splash of fun it needed.
IMAGE: Ruffles, a floral headscarf and a bright blue swimsuit? It's giving vintage postcard from a dreamy beach holiday vibe and we're booking the trip.
IMAGE: Metallic silver on top, fluid black below and a gold belt tying it all together. It sounds like three different outfits but Poppy makes them work in perfect harmony.
IMAGE: This wine-hued dress has all the charm of an old-Hollywood silhouette but Poppy wears it with enough confidence to make it feel fresh instead of retro.
IMAGE: A cosy knit cardigan, a simple mini dress and a statement pearl necklace shouldn't work this well together... yet here we are, taking notes.
