Best-Dressed Celebrities 2008
Rex FeaturesGwyneth Paltrow came out of her shell this year, fashion-wise. Who could forget those killer, seven-inch heels or that black micro-mini dress? Our favourite, however, was the Felder & Felder Mongolian jacket and Ferregamo dress that the actress wore to a chilly October premiere in London.
Rex FeaturesWith her wavy, golden locks and long legs, Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively can pull off most outfits. What impresses us about Blake however is the way that she refuses to take the easy way out, like here when she wore a velour jumpsuit in New York.
Rex FeaturesEva Mendes makes that list because she knows exactly how to dress for her Latin American figure. Bright, vivid colours, cinched-in waists and, of course, sassy plunging necklines are all order of the day when Eva’s picking out her wardrobe.
Bigpicturesphoto.comLiving in Britain gives Fearne Cotton an advantage over her Hollywood counterparts in one area of fashion – winter dressing. Whether it’s cute hats, woollen jumpers, scarfs and boots, Fearne is spot on for style when temperatures start to drop.
Danny MartindaleIt’s been another stellar year for Alexa Chung. Yet again the presenter has been pushing back the fashion frontier, championing up-and-coming designers like Louise Goldin, and mixing and matching in ways we didn’t think were possible.
Rex FeaturesLittle Black Dresses were Victoria Beckham’s trademark look while in the Spice Girls but now, 10 years later, the singer is still finding new and inventive ways of wearing them. Here Posh rocks a Jackie-O look, with a furry jacket, leather gloves and a Hermes Birkin bag.
PA PhotosAgyness Deyn charmed us in 2008 with her rock ‘n’ roll t-shirts, brightly coloured tights and vast statement bags. These might look awful on Aggy wannabes but the lady herself can do no wrong.
Rex FeaturesIt’s often hard when you’re in a girl band to make your own style statement but Cheryl Cole has done just that. The singer and X Factor judge inspired us all by mixing designer clothes with quirky accessories.
Bigpicturesphoto.comKelly Brook’s love life may have taken a few twists and turns this year but her style has remained consistent. We’re happy to see that the actress continues to be a champion of her curves, whether she’s modelling her bikini line for New Look or dining out at the Ivy.
Rex FeaturesKatie Holmes is the only celebrity to make it this year’s Best and Worst Dressed lists. The actress can get it oh-so wrong sometimes, but when she gets it right – in this red coat for example – it’s really time to go “wow”.
PA PhotosLeighton Meester was not trailing far behind her Gossip Girl co-star, Blake. The actress is a fan trying out something a bit out of the ordinary, like this Phillip Lim tunic dress, and she almost always pulls it off!
Rex FeaturesKaty Perry made a total of 12 outfit changes at the MTV Europe Music Awards – and it was worth seeing each one. This satin-blue dress Jean-Charles de Castelbajac certainly caught our eye!
Rex FeaturesSophie Ellis Bextor is certainly one celebrity to watch if you want to dress on-trend: military jacket, check; jumper dress, check; ankle boots, check.
Rex FeaturesHer stage outfits are renowned for being a little risqué but Rihanna takes a very different approach to her off-stage fashion. The singer opts for classic looks from designers she trusts, such as Hervé Leger and Zac Posen.
