Eight-year-old Stella Ehrhart of Omaha, Nebraska has developed a uniquely creative habit when it comes to dressing up. Every day she would decide what to wear after going through her book, 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century, and pick a notable historical female figure to dress like.

Among of some of her recent selections include Billie Holiday, Grace Kelly and the Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

According to her father Kevin Ehrhart, ‘I'm not sure where she came up with it. It was the second day of second grade. She had an awesome teacher at the public school here, and after the second day, she just decided that tomorrow she was going to dress as someone different,’ he said.

Stella has dressed as a different famous woman every single day for over a year now. With her parents involved in the theater community around Omaha it’s no surprise where she gets her creativity from.

Also, her unique sense of dressing has never been annoying for her teacher or classmates at the Dundee Elementary School. In fact, her teachers support her desire for self-expression, and have used Stella’s outfits du jour as teachable moments.

It is interesting to mention here that neither parent supplies the costume or the ideas. They just roll with what Stella wants to do and support her.

Unfortunately, Stella’s tradition of dressing as important woman figures will come to an end as soon as the school year ends. She will enter her new class dressed in school uniform.
