The 50 best-dressed list of 2008(unofficial)

It took longer and harsher than I had expected to put on such a post. The year of 2008, the memorable 2008. Everything is going to farewell. And the 50 best dressed list handpicked by Cathy is a tribute to all those who has inspired many ladies around the world, not only by their dress, but also by the insight they gave.















50. Natalie Portman
Another beautiful red ruffle dress from Natalie.





49. Doutzen Kors
The body-conscious Herve Leger mini dress and the nude pumps look perfect on Doutzen Kors. But why pick this purse Doutzen? It degrades the whole outfit!







48. Chanel Iman
The ruffles are like yellow sea waves. It looks interesting on Chanel Iman.





47. Sarah Jessica Parker
This time, SJP went a little too much with the accessories. The gold necklace and those silver bracelets look great separately. She could have loose those chunky bracelets. But she looks good here anyway.






46. Keira Knightly
You feel like you've seen this look for a million times. But on Keira it's persuasive to say that she looks ethereal here. So angelic.









45. Kate Bosworth
I love Kate for creating this androgynous yet girly look. I'm just not sure with the platform shoes she picked.




44. Natalia Vodianova
I've always stuck by Natalia Vodianova's bizarre beauty. She looks divine here.









43. Anne hathaway
Another red carpet goddess. Stunning!









42. Anne hathaway
The dress should be boring. But the one-sided turquoise earring perk up the entire ensemble.




41. Sarah Jessice Parker
I love the fact that Sarah Jessice Parker always experiment with Fashion. Wearing multi-chunky necklaces is one daring attempt. With the colorful clutch she look just right.






40. Clemence Poesy,
the Harry Potter darling is a rising star. Her ethereal grace is as attractive as her individual fashion choice.






39. Camilla Belle
Camilla's strong eyebrow makes her beauty exotic. Her sea-blue mini dress is also an object that catches spotlight.







38. Chloe Sevigny
has the girly innocence that reminds me of the swinging 60s. She often surprise fashion addict with her experimental choice.







37. Natalie Portman
Natalie is a fashion princess. So elegant, so polished.





36. Keira Knightly
Vintage-inspired look. Very old-school indeed.




35. Anna Wintour
First lady in the American( and the world's?) fashion world. The chief editor of Vogue. The real version of the Devil wears Prada. And guess what? She does wear Prada in the real world! ( Not in this picture though.)








34. Rebecca Hall
The sensitive girl in Vicky Cristina Barcelona has a lively orange dress and messy sexy hair.







33. Angelina Jolie
It's hard to imagine how a brown dress can make a woman radiant. But Angelina's vintage Hermes dress does the wonder.




32. Natalie Portman
Clean. Sleek. Refined. Polished.








31. Jennifer Connelly
is one of the few people who can pull off this look. And who else?






30. Scarlett Johannson
favorite red carpet look is ankle-length dress, and she know she looks beautiful in this ensemble.








29. Camilla Belle
The orange dress is flowing with Camilla Belle's adorable smile. Great job for picking silver strapped pumps!









28. Suri Cruise
Finally it's Suri Cruise, the cutest babe on the entire world!!! How cute is she here in this little red dress and the silver Mary Jane! Need I say more?








27. Alexa Chung
I'm literally intrigued the first time I saw the funky Luella dress on Alexa. This girl surely loves playing with fashion.





26. Alexa Chung
is a icon of the new generation British fashionista. And I'm constantly inspired by her vintage look.







25. Kate Bosworth.
I want the whole look of her,which looks very comfortable, especially the stunning purple Chloe bag!




24. Kate Bosworth,
like me, has an obsession with little red shoes. Because they help you stand out from the crowd without being showy.







23. Kate Bosworth
A very eclectic, very unique look. The red stiletto complements the whole look.






22. Anouck Leper
is wearing the coolest Mary Jane here. Ultra-coolness.









21. Charlize Theron
Who said a sexy feminine dress can't go with flat sandals? Charlize Theron demonstrates how you should throw away the boring fashion rules here.





20. Natalie Portman
Natalie's engaging smile gives the black Rodarte lace dress a real vibrancy.









19. Jessica Alba
is a modern day goddess here in the Oscar, and she was still pregnant at the time! I wish I can look this glamorous when I'm pregnant!






18. Katie Holmes
Sophisticated nude look. The open toe is the perfect finishing touch.





17. Katie Holmes
has really gone through a fashion transformation this year. She stepped out of the shadow of her "friend" Victoria Beckham and created her own individual signature look, and the look of the cutest tot on earth, Suri!







16. Sophia Coppola
possesses natural grace. She is not a beautiful girl but it's her quiet elegance that captures the attention of the fashion world. The director of my favorite movie, Lost in translation.









15. Kate Moss
This review will never complete if Kate isn't on the list. Ms Moss is the only person who can give leopard jacket the real color, less sleazy, but more of a classic rebel, rock n' roll.





14. Ashley Olsen
I apologize for posting too much about Ashley. But she looks so comfortable in her boyfriend look!






13. Jennifer Connelly
Balenciaga is a brand that constantly wows the fashion lovers. And Jennifer Connelly is never a fashion milquetoast. This is all I can say.







12. Cate Blanchett
looks incredible in this Alexander Mcqueen dress. A very daring choice which takes confidence to pull off.







11. Ashley Olsen again, and again!
So unfussy. So every-inch-fashionista!






10.Ashley Olsen
These are the reasons why I love Ashley Olsen's fashion: always unexpected, always risky, and on top of all these, she knows her exactly where her strengths and weaknesses lie on. You can never imagine a motorcycle jacket can go with sleek tight long dress and end up creating a sexy, smart, yet warm look. She really has an excellent eye for proportion.





9.Tilda Swinton
has a unique face and unique fashion standpoint. She is never a feminine figure, but it makes her even cooler than most actress in Hollywood. The red hair, the black velvet lanvin dress, and the silver bracelet make clean silhouette. Effortless cool.






8.The Olsen sisters
is never a fashion follower. They are born a trendsetter, like me.(ok I'm just kidding) Here they compliment each other's outfit. A perfect guide for fashion show first row audiences.






7.Coco Rocha
is almost a sculpture here. The exotic red hair goes with the whole dress so well, and her porcelain skin complete the whole look. Pure Perfection.









6.Maggie Gyllenhaal
What I like about Maggie Gyllenhaal's look here is the unaffectedness of her outfit. She didn't even bother wearing a belt! she kept her accessories minimal, and wore a confident smile! She looks so comfortable in her outfit!






5.Michelle Obama
Ms Obama again! I just can't help!! Great choice, Michelle! Purple really flatter your skin tone! The chunky pearl necklace here reminds me of Jackie O, while the studded belt is a modern touch.







4.Ashley Olsen
It's official. Ashley Olsen has become my fashion icon. A petite figure is never a limitation that pull her back from looking good. Simplicity is the key.




3.Natalie Portman
I've always loved Natalie Portman, for her acting, and fashion choices. So often her look mainly stick to simplicity. But this time, I'm mesmerized by her risky fashion choice. Asymmetric look and big volume can always be hard to pull off, but somehow Natalie managed to look breathtaking.







2.Carla Bruni
holds the key look of a French first lady: elegant, simple, and head-to-toe of royal touch.






No 1. Michelle Obama!
Time name Mr Obama the person of the year. Then in the fashion world, Michelle Obama takes the title. A very surprising yet appropriate choice for the night, sophisticated yet lively. Individual. Simply radiant.
