People Magazine's 10 Best Dressed of 2011

[Libra Skye18]

LIVELY: THE RISK TAKER

Gossip Girl's Blake Lively isn't afraid to take chances with her red-carpet looks – she's her own stylist, after all! Whether going short in a mini or ethereal in a flowing gown (both by Marchesa), the actress always stands tall in the winner's circle.



LOPEZ: THE RULE BREAKER

It's been a year of change for Jennifer Lopez, but one thing has remained constant: her always-sexy edge. The mom of two brings the fashion drama – in an Emilio Pucci minidress at the Grammy Awards and a Temperley London cocktail dress at an N.Y.C. gala – for any red-carpet occasion.



KUNIS: THE GLAMOUR GIRL

At 28, Mila Kunis rules the red carpet like an Old Hollywood pro – whether it's promoting Friends with Benefits in an off-the-shoulder Lanvin sheath or taking the plunge at the Oscars in a delicate lavender lace Elie Saab Haute Couture gown.



ANISTON: THE MINIMALIST

Little black dress? Check! Perfect pair of strappy heels? Check! Coveted haircut? Check! Jennifer Aniston is always spot-on in her fashion choices. From black Balenciaga to bright-red Vivienne Westwood, the star dresses her enviable body in timeless looks and low-key accessories that never go out of style.



HUDSON: THE BOMBSHELL

Following her dramatic weight loss, Jennifer Hudson is embracing the message, if you've got it, flaunt it, showing off her fabulous new figure in curve-hugging dresses by designers like Michael Kors and Victoria Beckham.



ALBA: THE MATERNITY CLOTHESHORSE

Baby Haven is already here, but Jessica Alba's stunning maternity looks continue to be a revelation to expectant moms. Whether color-blocking in Diane von Furstenberg or adding an edgy twist to her L.A.M.B. maxidress, the new mom kept her bump swathed in style.



CATHERINE: THE TASTEMAKER

She has yet to make a fashion misstep! Newlywed Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, knows just how to impress her adoring public, whether the occasion calls for recycling her popular Reiss dress or by paying homage to Canada in a lace look by native designer Erdem Moralioglu.



BOSWORTH: THE JEAN QUEEN

California girl Kate Bosworth definitely knows her denim. Showing the everyday fabric can be dressed up in her Mulberry jumper or down in cuffed boyfriend jeans and booties, you could say the actress simply has great "jeans."



GOODWIN: THE HIPSTER

Once Upon a Time star Ginnifer Goodwin often takes the fashion road less traveled. Whether in a one-sleeve lemon Roksanda Ilincic dress or an emerald-green Topshop gown, her eye for edgy looks makes the petite star a standout on any red carpet.



WITHERSPOON: THE AMERICAN CLASSIC

The all-American label seems tailor-made for Reese Witherspoon, who continually works the red carpet in dresses that effortlessly flatter – like her bright, ruffled Hanii Y sheath or her sexy-yet-demure Stella McCartney frock.

If those are the best dressed, i don't wanna see the worst.

 

[MyNameIs]

Lol, exactly what one would expect from People.

I only like Mila, Kate Bosworth and Dutchess.

 

[fantastical]

any best dressed list with Reese Witherspoon on it automatically loses major credibility

 

[sobriquet87]

Okay...what?!

Kate Bosworth, Mila, and J-Lo I can work with.
But Blake Lively..."risk taker" are they serious?

 

[Urban Stylin]

this is people magazine, they target the everyday American I think for the averge person this is an accurate list

 

[LolaSvelt]

The only credible person on the list is Ginnifer Goodwin. Kate Bosworth's personal style got awful, her red carpet is still good. Everyone else though, I'm yawning.

 

[Heroin_Chic]

Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon don`t deserve to be on the list. Their style is as over as their careers.

 

[isa.b.elle.]

This list looks like a joke..a bad one

Should anyone care what People magazine thinks or says though?

 

[mint condish]

Clearly there is going to be a lot of hateration for this list, but...

I actually like it. I like a lot of these women, and I like a lot of these women's styles. They're not the most innovative dressers, but that's not what this list is. This list is "Best Dressed".

I would have added some women like Kate Moss or Katie Holmes, but oh well.

I think Reese is a great dresser.
Jennifer Hudson is kind of a plain dresser, I've never paid attention to her style.
Jennifer Lopez is not really my taste or style, but I still think she looks good.

Blake? Whatever. She is the media darling right now. That's the big questionable choice, and Kate Bosworth which seems really left field.

Other than that? I absolutely can't hate. Great-looking, greatly dressed women in my opinion.

 

[Spiral1532]

Yup. I was like, "Jennifer Aniston, seriously?"
I think they just threw her in there because she's considered one of America's sweethearts.

 

[SabrinaNicole]

People magazine is for regular people.

That light purple dress Mila has on is to die for.

 

[sweetcandy]

Drop Bosworth from the list and include Zoe Saldana.

 

[Style Souk]

Kate Middleton? Okay, it make take me a while to stop laughing... ;0)

 

[Label Basher]

THIS THIS THIS. People is not Vogue or Grazia.

 

[TianSoFine]

From the moment I saw Blake Lively's name and description, I knew the rest of the list wouldn't be so great either.

That was way harsh, Tai... (Clueless references are still cool, right?B))

But... totally true. People magazine is geared towards the average "everyday" American not towards people who care about the actual fashion industry. That being said, I can see why they picked these women, they are the women who are on are the "average" persons radar. I mean, its not like they would really know/care about who Daphne Guinness (and others like her ) is or whatnot. And honestly, it's okay that they don't know about the real players in the world of fashion. Not everyone has too care about these things. Lets leave them there J.Lo's and Blake's and we can have our Daphne's, Anna Piaggi's, etc. etc. My only real qualms about this list is that they called Ginnifer Goodwin "the hipster," clearly People mag and I have a different definition of what hipster is.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Lol, exactly what one would expect from People.

Precisely. I agree, except Kate B was very hit and miss this year, imo.
