In an outfit that would have made Carrie proud, Sarah Jessica Parker flew the flag for British fashion, wearing a pistachio green Alexander McQueen prom dress and a Philip Treacy hat. The vertiginous green headpiece featured butterflies, a green rose and what appeared to be an acorn cup.

Gossip Girl’s very own Blair Waldorf , Leighton Meester scores as many fashion hits off screen as she does on. Like her alter-ago, she clearly has a penchant for designer labels, making her a regular on the New York front rows and influencing a host of outfit choices. One of our favorites is this lovely lemon yellow Giambattista Valli frock, worn to a network party in August.

Heidi Klum’s best look of the year – the girl can do no wrong! Always flawless, she pulled out all the stops for February’s Oscars, with a silk taffeta, floor-length couture gown by John Galliano and Stuart Weitzman shoes. Simply amazing!
