NY Post's 50 Best Dressed Women In NYC

[Catwalk_Princess]

I think Alexandra and Theodora have great style! They are lucky enought to have a supermodel mom who has saved lots of old clothes from her days on the catwalk. They get to mix up those pieces with exciting, new pieces. I think they are awesome!

Liv Tyler is great too! She has a great style that is all her own, she doesn't care what anyone else thinks and she doesn't dress inappropriately. She is always stunning as is Milla Jovovich! Another beautiful brunette who earned her place on the list!

Why she's on the list: Dean is always the most-photographed girl at whatever party she attends. Style secrets: Believing it's better to stand out than to blend into a crowd.

Thanks for the list, Spacemiu.

I think its an interesting list- I just can't get over Karen O @ number 6!

She is a walking cliche, and the hipster-esque irony has def. worn off at this point-

Someone should really put her on a poster for the Williamsburg Tourism Department

I should photoshop one, right?

I forgot to say how happy I am that Amy Sedaris made the list!!

34. Amy Sedaris, writer

Why she's on the list: She's a genuine eccentric.

Style secret: "I dress like a deaf person, meaning I like loud patterns, shiny, colorful things,"she says.

I have the biggest platonic crush on her- she shares my obsession with kitch-
She wore a dress on Letterman a few months ago that her friend made made out of her aprons

For those who do not know of her- you should! You have prob. seen her on SATC- she is Carrie's lit. agent I think.

She was in Strangers With Candy, too! That show was hilarious.

 

[ebowleg]

I'm not sure if "the Donald" picks out her clothes for her, but Melania Knauss is always dressed to perfection

 

[pennyfei]

ahh

 

[Sephora_Socialite]

I'm glad that its not another actress thats number one and runner-up.

The Richard sisters are really great dressers....that's why at some parties and what-not I keep from talking too much to em...they make me look bad ...frankly anyone......

ANd Nan Kemper is a surprise...I didn't expect that...she does dress well, but now she'll probably be flaunting to everyone and their uncle she's one of the best dressed...

 

[Amélie]

very interesting...i love it how all the socialites and those peoples tend to stay at the bottom of the list...

 

[nycgirl84]

Alexandra and Thoedora Richards? Um... no. I cannot stand them. I do agree with Milla Jovovich and Jennifer Connely though. They are the most beautiful women around today.

 

[MJCouture]

Nicole Kidman? EW EW EW. She has no style. She is a gawky, overly pale, couldn't pick a pair of jeans with out her stylist type, and since when is she a New Yorker? I thought this list was for the top 50 best dressed New York women, even if she does own property here, she will never be a New Yorker.


I agree with the Richards girls. I have met them a few times, they have an adorable, chic, young style.

 

[Sephora_Socialite]

Where's Paris Hilton in all this???! HHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Amélie]

[sosneha]

sienna miller AND kate moss also live in new york city right now, they both are best dressed women in NYC

 

[LeonieAlexandria]

lol at Bjork..... says about everything.

 

[marnilover]

It was alleged that Meredith Viera got a face lift. It wouldn't suprise me, she looks plastic.

 

[marsmars]

Chloe Sevigny
Why she's on the list: Her daring style predates Carrie Bradshaw's.

Off topic but, what style did Carrie Bradshaw exactly have that was so daring?

I don't like it when people call themselves daring, new and avant-garde when, in reality, the whole time they step out of their little boxes even for a moment they freak out. Fake. Fraud. Bleugh.
