Somehow it's nearly 2015. I have literally no idea how that happened. Terrifying.
Anyhoo, the end of another year means it's time for the annual 'best of' blog posts to be dusted off and I'm starting mine with a run down of my top 10 best dressed of the year. I've set myself a golden rule for this one: each person can only appear once. This is harder than you might think.
Here, in a rough order of preference, are my picks:
Angelina Jolie in Saint Laurent
The best tailoring of the year, and I'm still majorly crushing on that bow tie, but mostly I'm in love with her 'yeah I'm a girl wearing a suit on the red carpet, what of it?' attitude. Few people, of any gender, have warn a suit so well this year. Major moment.
Blake Lively in Gucci Premiere
Picking just one Blake Lively look from this year was very hard, but in the end this one pipped her
Cannes double for me because she just looks that bit more perfect. Plus the cape is super awesome.
Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab Couture
A proper princess moment. I love the dreamy print - florals don't have to be boring - and it's so refreshing to see an Elie Saab gown without a sequin or a bit of lace in sight. And another awesome cape. Love a cape.
Rihanna in Zac Posen
I am unrepentant in my love for Rihanna's edgy, punky style but this old school glam look just blew me away. The colour is divine on her, the draping is beautiful and don't even get me started on that necklace. Perfection.
Lupita Nyongo in Ralph Lauren
Lupita + colour, any colour =winner. I have just loved her style this year and this caped (have I mentioned I love capes?) beauty from Ralph Lauren is the pick of the crop. I'm a sucker for a red dress.
Lily Collins in Elie Saab Couture
Another non-sequin Elie Saab creation, I'm obsessed with the stunning, dramatic ombre effect on this beauty. And her styling? Top notch - I love the faux bob.
Kate Hudson in Atlelier Versace
Capes. Have I mentioned capes yet? Seriously, I love this. It's old school Hollywood via the 1980s, which is to say it's perfection.
Amy Adams in Antonio Berardi
Two things: cut (outs) and colour. Red hair plus blue dress is always a lush combo and this is no exception. And another top faux bob.
Keira Knightley in Valentino Couture
Almost everything that Keira Knightley's worn this year is worthy of a best dressed mention but this is my favourite. The dress is self evidently exquisite and the styling is perfect. I especially love the unexpected raspberry pumps.
Emma Watson in Ralph Lauren Collection
Again, someone who could've made up the entirety of this list. I love this look in particular because it's so simple and so sophisticated. And I do love a crisp white shirt. Beautiful updo/berry lip combo too.
Ooh I enjoyed that. Aren't they all fabulous? Here's to an equally fabulous 2015.
