12.31.2008 GOODBYE 2008 (Thank God)
HELLO 2009!
This was such a great year for fashion, everyone looked amazing I can't say that there were as many faux pas as I expected.
Note: You'll have to scroll a lot to get to the end of this post.
Praise me! And she should be, there is no doubt Natalie was the best dressed of the year in this Givenchy number. I think she will go down in fashion history, we'll be digging up these classic pictures of her 50 years from now.
The best and worst dresses (/ Outfits) were selected on my random opinion, feel free to chose yours.
Diane Kruger would win for best dressed overall this year on the red carpet.
THE WORST OF 2008
Bai Ling shares the title with
Solange Knowles this year for worst dresser and dress. I'm giving
Solange some credit though, not every single one of her
outfits this year was terrible, it's too bad I can't say the same about
Bai. As much as all these ladies have had
faux pas, at least they were entertaining.
This Armani Prive number should never see the light of day again.
Coming third in worst dressed this year after Bai and Solange is Phoebe Price.
