5. Eva Mendes. Eva is always confident and always willing to take a few risks, which we definitely appreciate. We love her in the Prada dress!
4. Diane Kruger. Our first winner of the Fierce Fashionista Award, Diane still dazzles. Perhaps what we love best about this German fraulein is the fact that she is not afraid of color.
3. Olivia Wilde. Where Diane may not be afraid of color, Olivia is certainly not afraid to sparkle. And she looks pretty gosh darn good when she's shimmering, too.
2. Blake Lively. So, Ms. Lively always pretty much looks great. And why? Well, she's blonde, about seven feet tall and is in great shape. If we were fashion designer, we would also throw our new clothes at her as soon as they were hot off the runway. Regardless, Blake looks great in pretty much everything she wears. So, well done and keep it up!
1. Carey Mulligan. OK. So maybe Carey doesn't always look totally perfect in everything she wears like Blake, but we think that is part of her charm and part of why she is our #1 best dressed of the year. She has fun with her clothes and it makes all of us think that maybe, just maybe, we could pull it off, too.
And where there are the best, there are always the worst...
5. Winona Ryder. Once upon a time, Winona Ryder was a beautiful young woman. Now, we fear she has transformed into an uncomfortable-looking witch creature with scary bug eyes and ill-fitting clothes.
4. Christina Aguilera. We don't know if Xtina is pregnant or what. What we do know is that she dresses more and more like a hooker/ drag queen who has gained a bit of weight around the hips and thighs.
3. Julianne Moore. We feel like there was a time when Julianne was a good dresser or at least was not an offensive dresser. All that has changed in recent months as she dresses more and more like a schizophrenic hippie.
2. Helena Bonham Carter. HBC is straight out of a Tim Burton film and while there's a time and place for that sort of thing, we think she's a bit too old and way too pretty not to try a bit harder on the red carpet.
1. Leighton Meester. Maybe Leighton doesn't really deserve this. I mean occasionally she wears pretty cute stuff. Our real issue with Miss Meester is the fact that she tries oh so very hard and is never able to pull it off and we just can't understand why. She's a popular young actress with money and stylists swarming around her. Why then does she usually look like crap? We do not know readers, but we hope that by this time next year Leighton will be able to figure it out.
And with that our best and worst dressed of 2010 list is complete. Did we forget anyone dear hearts?
Great list, but I might move Blake ahead of Carey. I don't know if Leighton is the real worst, I think that Julianne and Helena are worse, but I have lower expectations for them.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your rationale for picking Carey over Blake. This is a fabulous list. Happy New Years!
ReplyDeleteI' was surprised that you picked Eva for number 5, but now that I think about it, I think that you are right. I don't know if I would put Christina on the list. I'm not saying that she looks good, but I feel like there were worse.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what was worse. Winona's outfits or her acting in Black Swan.
