I love this thread.
And since the topic is "Best Outfit of the
Decade", I've tried to be thorough, keep this as unbiased
innocent
as possible, and the number of outfits to a minimum. So here goes nothin'.
--
I don't particularly like
Anne Hathaway on any level, but this look -- this single dress -- blew me away like nothing has before. She and Natalie Portman wiped the floor with everyone else at the event.

Cate Blanchett has worn, and continues to wear, some of the most amazing statement pieces, and bringing her up (and this outfit in particular) here isn't therefore particularly original. But I guess that only goes to show how fantastic her style is. And this will to me always stand out as one of the best, if not the best, ever dresses to have been worn by anyone to the Academy Awards:

When I first saw
January Jones on the Golden Globes red carpet, I hadn't a clue who she was. I still only barely do. But this is amazing:

I worship
Liv Tyler. Her style is nigh impeccable. She wears Marchesa like nobody's business, and the Stella McCartney aesthetic suits her perfectly. There are so many looks I'd like to add here, but if I must choose one above the rest, let it be this:
Liv Tyler
- in Luisa Beccaria
- at the 6th Annual Free Arts NYC Benefit in Apr 2007

I also worship
Milla Jovovich. She has worn such amazing looks over the years I can't not worship her. Again, there are a lot of outfits she has worn that rank among my favorites, but bearing in mind the topic at hand, it was these three
innocent
looks that dropped my jaw.
Milla Jovovich
- in Elie Saab
- at the Annual Sidaction AIDS Fashion Dinner in Jan 2009
Milla Jovovich
- in Versace
- at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony in May 2008

Natalie Portman's also someone who's worn a good many of my all-time favorite red carpet looks, and I almost wanted to include her purple Rodarte dress from the 2009 Oscars to these, but in the end I think these two looks outdo all of her rest.

I was so bored to death with the red carpet of the 60th Primetime Emmys, until
Tricia Helfer made an entrance in this red gorgeousness, and melted my heart:

I might want to return to this thread later with some additions, as there are a few more looks from various people I'd like to bring up, but compiling this has seriously taken me a good three hours, so this'll have to do for now.
