Queen of the quirkies, Zooey's goofy smile and geeky charm has landed her many a role as the lovelorn, awkward geeky girl in nearly all the indie flicks of the past five years.
Now married to frontman of Emo popsters Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Gibbard, her level of true geekiness has been sealed.
To get Zooey's girly, preppy style, ever underestimate the power of bows. Her cute bow-detail belt adds another quirky touch to an otherwise quite plain dress, and more cutesy detailing enhances the look. Court shoes are great for a more grown-up touch of geek chic, especially this retro purple pair, with the preppy trademark, bows.
Like other geek royalty, Zooey is a fan of her Chanel quilted handbags which are a must-have, thrown on over the top of any outfit, however casual. If you don't have the budget to blow, check out some of the cheaper quilted handbags on Ciao.
Oh Alexa, how do you manage to do it so effortlessly? From the casually thrown on blazer right down to the awkward indie-girl pose, she's had this look nailed since she first sashayed onto our screens with T4 all those moons ago.
Now she has all the cards when it comes to Geek Girl top trumps; brogues, boyfriend in an indie band, supermodel best friend, a Mulberry handbag named after her, that slightly vacant and dreamy look in every photo of her ever taken.
To get her look, the key piece is truly a preppy blazer in either plain black or navy, which can be thrown over both twee peter-pan collar dresses and skinny jeans alike. Go for all-out pinstripes and crested pockets if you want to take it to the next level of preppy chic, otherwise accessorise with an oversized pin badge, à la Alexa, or a vintage brooch for some retro charm.
Not be out-geeked by Alexa, Agyness shows us just how that bowl cut your mum gave you when you were little can look cool, when teamed with boyish high-waisted shorts and some black lace-up boots.
While both Geldof sisters have a claim to the geek chic crown, it's Pixie who we think rocks the black rimmed glasses to the fullest 1980's newsreader effect.
They finish off an outfit which is otherwise more modest on the preppy scale, with requisite blazer and laced shoes in tow, so if you're looking to add a lighter dose to your look, reach for the specs.
If you want to try the trend but don't want to evoke a look that's closer to Sue Pollard, try some frames which are a tad more subtle like this pair from Marks & Spencer.
