People’s 10 Best Dressed — It May Surprise You.
The best dressed in Hollywood have been waiting anxiously for the 2008 release of People’s 10 Best Dressed List, and since there are only 10 slots to fill up, you can imagine that a few tears were shed over this year’s list. Yes, even I was surprised, as many of the names that cropped up I do not disagree with their style choices, but more on their locale on the list of ‘Best Dressed’. Naturally some names that came up had no shock value, but well….let’s just say the ones that *didn’t* quite make the cut really surprised me.
What should be of no surprise at all is that Sarah Jessica hit the list, and rightfully so, and I would guess this is her eight hundredth year in a row. She was chosen for her ‘expert eclectic style’. Love it! Anne Hathaway also made the cut for being young and glam, as she has been quite the style icon ever since her days of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
Other lovely ladies on the list included Charlize Theron, Rihanna, Eva Mendes, and naturally, Kate Hudson. Fergie got a mention for being a refined rocker, and this was my first surprise here. I love her style, but I don’t think she merits this recognition quite yet.
Another surprise, sort of, was with the appearance of Gywneth Paltrow on the list, honestly, I don’t think she’s quite ready either, but that’s just me. She has of course evolved this year into something much vampier than in days gone past, so perhaps this is where that is coming from.
My biggest jaw drop occurred when seeing Michelle Obama’s name on the list, perhaps People is simply making a political statement with this one. She was described as ‘classy and confident’.
But overall, my biggest head shaker came when I saw some names missing, notably Katie Holmes and Posh Spice who have now been beat out style wise by a potential First Lady. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt. Better luck next year ladies.
