The BEST
1 Baby Got SexyBack
All aboard! Hollywood's best-dressed ladies know that a dramatic train
is the best way to make an entrance and an exit. Among those with a
made-ya-look caboose: Jessica Alba in Atelier Versace and
Michelle Williams in Vera Wang at the Academy Awards.
2 Well Suited!
Taking a tip from Barney on How I Met Your Mother, male stars decided
to ''suit up'' (sadly, K-Fed didn't get the memo). Daniel Craig looked
007-handsome on screen and off, while Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z also
got dapper.
3 In Her Shoes
Thanks to their trademark red soles and to trendsetters like Cameron
Diaz, Christian Louboutin's sexy heels walked all over Jimmy
Choo and Manolo Blahnik to become Hollywood's favorite fancy footwear.
4 Stylish Movies
The Devil Wears Prada, Marie Antoinette, and Dreamgirls were like
fashion porn, with endless, loving shots of couture. As a result, women
everywhere began wearing 1970s makeup and 1770s beehives.
5 Bumps
Gwen Stefani and Heidi Klum looked positively fetching when they were
expecting, courtesy of their maternity dresses by L.A.M.B. and Michael
Kors.
The WORST
1 Totally Ugly '80s
The reemergence of 1980s fashion was fun at first but now has become as
annoying as a broken Teddy Ruxpin. The biggest offense? Leggings. Stars
like Lindsay Lohan and Rihanna have been photographed to death
in these tacky tights and, quite frankly, we're ready for the trend to
pass away. And while you're at it, Fashion Grim Reaper, please take
headbands, big belts, and skinny jeans, too!
2 Head Cases
Note to Denise Richards and J. Lo: A bad-hair day is no excuse for
building the world's biggest bouffant or showing up at the VMAs in a
metallic head wrap inspired by Wayland Flowers and Madame. Next time,
why not try a ponytail?
3 Little Women
Stylist Rachel Zoe made her name dressing some of Hollywood's skinniest,
like now-ex-client Nicole Richie. The toothpick trend is so
out of control that clavicle barers like Mischa Barton, Posh Spice, and
Kate Bosworth have paved the way for subzero sizes!
4 Borat's Bulge
Normally, a male star hitting the beach in a revealing bathing suit
inspires our applause (Casino Royale!). But Borat's neon thong looked
like something even a blind Chippendales dancer would reject. Eww.
5 Spruced Sisters
Despite upgrades to the Simpson girls (Ashlee's new profile, Jessica's
lip injections...), neither sister's body of work benefited from the
procedures. Jessica's post-divorce album, A Public Affair, fizzled, as
did her film, Employee of the Month, while an altered Ashlee was far
from all that jazz in London's Chicago.
