Best Dressed List 2007
It was difficult, but we've carefully selected our top five best dressed celebs of the year. And the winners are...
You’ve got to hand it to Victoria Beckham – girlfriend knows how to work a look. Never mind the plethora of fantastically show-stopping chic dresses she wore throughout 2007, this is the woman who launched, like, a gazillion look-alikes with her ever-changing haircuts – from the Original Pob, to the bleach-blonde Pob, to the naturally brunette Long Pob she’s currently sporting. With a successful move to the US seeing her befriend the likes of the Cruises, a Spice Girl reunion tour and her own TV show under her belt (Victoria Beckham: Coming to America was absolute classic TV), it really has been the one they call Posh’s year.
What a year it’s been for Alexa Chung. Popworld may have had its day, but Alexa hasn’t let the upset of that stop her making a play for the Indie Queen crown – and hasn’t she put up a good fight? With the likes of Peaches Geldof and Kelly Osbourne enlisted as her A-List play pals, Alexa went on to bag herself a boyfriend in the form of Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner – too cool. Add to this her impressive indie wardrobe – plenty of high-waisted skirts, ankle boots and leather jackets for her – and you’ve got yourself a first class fashionista.
Good old Sienna Miller – you can always rely on her to come up trumps in the style stakes, and 2007 has been no exception. Having put the heartache of her oh-so-public affair with Jude Law behind her and finding love once again with new man Rhys Ifans, the starlet was given a chance to prove her fashion credentials and show a more sophisticated side with the launch of her own clothing line, twenty8twelve by s. miller. Featuring lots of tailored pieces and, of course, a touch of Sienna's trademark bohemian flair, the range was a massive success. The next Sienna-inspired fashion craze? We’re predicting a Sixties revival, with her film Hippie Hippie Shake set for release next year…
Just when we were starting to fear we were all becoming identikit La-La Landers, along comes Agyness Deyn and shakes up the entire fashion world. Not since Kate Moss first launched her unique brand of skinny chic in the 90s has a model caused such a sensation in style circles. A true original, Agyness wears exactly what she likes – from sequinned mini dresses with studded heels to androgynous skinny trousers with jazz shoes – and always manages to pull it off. Coupled with her angelic cropped blonde locks and big blue eyes, it’s no wonder the Northern beauty won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. Oh, how we love this girl.
Keira Knightley shrugged off her tomboy reputation this year with a succession of jaw-dropping dresses on just about every red carpet going. Starring in one of the big films of the year, 1940s-set Atonement, the actress was catapulted to leading lady mega-stardom and wasted no time in enlisting the help of Monsieur Chanel, AKA Karl Lagerfeld, in dressing her for premieres – in turn, the designer chose her as the new face of fragrance Coco Chanel. Scoring the front cover of British ELLE finished off what was a stellar year for the starlet.
And Three to Watch in 2008...
