Yay or Nay: People's 10 Best Dressed Celebrities- Comment to Win!

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday September 17, 201244 comments

People Magazine just came out with their list of the 10 best dressed ladies in Hollywood, but I have to say, I am a little perplexed. I hate to say it, but I'm not sure if all these starlets are deserving of their spot on the top 10 list. Mixed feelings for Gwyneth aside, I appreciate her sense of style. But, number one? Meh. I'm not buying it.  I'm wasn't sure if I am alone in this feeling, so I thought it would make an excellent topic of discussion for this week's Yay or Nay. 

 #10- Jennifer Lawrence 

Does she merit the spot? So, I'm kind of in serious girl crush love with Jennifer Lawrence (I like to call her JLaw). She's so beautiful and chooses figure flattering and daring outfits. Right now she's new to the game and still needs to prove her fashion chops, so the number 10 spot suits her perfectly. 

 #9- Diane Kruger 
 
Does she merit the spot? Diane is no stranger to the Yay or Nay hot seat (see here and here). She doesn't hit it out of the park every time. Overall, I think she has an exotic and envelope pushing sense of style. I'd actually like to see her higher up on the list. 
 
#8- Jessica Alba 

Does she merit the spot? I think Jessica Alba is the product of expensive clothes and a good stylist. She always looks put together, yes, but I don't see any creativity. I think maybe she and Diane or even JLaw could trade spots. 

#7- Rihanna 

Does she merit the spot? When Rihanna does good, the lady does good. She's constantly changing up her style and I respect her for that. Does she always look flawless? No. But hey, she experiments and has fun with fashion. 

#6- Reese Witherspoon 

Does she merit the spot? Reese is no doubt, a very stylish mommy to be. But #6 on this list? Sorry Reese, I just don't think so. 

#5- Miranda Kerr 
 

Does she merit the spot? When I first saw her name on the list, I didn't get it at all. Sure she's beautiful, but #5? So I did a bit of research, looked at some photos and now I get it, she's got something going on, this one! Whether she's walking on the street or at an event, she always nails it. 

#4- The Kardashian Sisters 

Does she (they) merit the spot? First of all, these sisters should not count as one spot. I call foul, People magazine! Secondly, I am reluctant to admit that these ladies have excellent style or taste. They clearly have pro help in this arena but I will try to not hold that against them. I could see them getting #8 or #7, but #4? Nah, sorry Kardashians, it's a pass from me. 

#3- Emma Stone

Does she merit the spot? After JLaw, my second girl crush is Emma Stone. She's so cute and adorable. I wish she and I could be BFFs. She's really risen as a style star in the past few years and always looks classic and sophisticated. She's a bit edgy but not over the top. Well done, Ms. Stone! 

#2- Kate Middleton 

Does she merit the spot? Kate has this ridiculous knack for always wearing the most appropriate outfit for any occasion and always looking good in it. Remember her dragon boat racing outfit? How is it even possible for any one to pull that off with such ease? I do think that #2 is a bit overrated, she needs a few years to prove her worthiness. 

#1- Gwyneth Paltrow 

Does she merit the spot? I mentioned above that I was not convinced that she deserved this spot and I will say it again because it just needs re-enforcement: no, she does not merit this spot. She takes few risks and has a team behind her telling her what looks best. If she isn't on a red carpet, her street style lacks serious lustre. I get that she has that effortless chicness, but it doesn't warrant this top spot!

What do you think of the best dressed list? Were there any surprises? Was anyone left out? Do you disagree/agree with any of the spots? Leave a comment below by September 23rd and you could win a prize!

I agree with some of them,but not all. As I love the Kardashians and Kate Middleton I think that they look great in anything they wear.

I say yes to Miranda Kerr, Jessica Alba, the Kardashians, Kate Middleton and Jennifer Lawrence. Definitely no for Rihanna...her clothing choices are sometimes confusing.

Jennifer Lawrence, Emma stone, and Kate Middleton should have definitely been the top three. Gywenth Paltrow shouldn't even be on the list in my opinion. Even with an entire style team behind every look I still like how they turn out. And even though Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Middleton haven't been on the seen as long as some of the others on the list doesn't mean that they deserve there placement any less.

Jennifer Lawrence surprised me, at first I was like "What is she doing here...' but those choices are interesting. I disagree with mooost of this list, but her inclusion (and Miranda Kerr) is great. I love ladies like Emma Stone and Reese but their fashion decisions here aren't quite "legendary"

I love Kate Middleton...she really is a class act! So she's my YAY, and my NAY is Emma Stone. If she wore something simple like Kate, she wouldn't be noticed, that's why she has to wear such crazy get ups and she makes herself look ridiculous for attention...hope that's not too harsh. :)

Yay for Kate Middleton. The rest, eh...

Miranda Kerr and Kate Middleton both have my top votes. But Rihanna? Seriously? What's with the pajamas?!

As for Reese Witherspoon, I think those pictures of her are a big unfair. I have never seen her looking less than perfect. The red/white spot dress is a bit off but I'll bet you that would've looked really good on her if it wasn't for her belly. However, I thought the black dress looked quite good on the pregnant Reese. It's not easy to find nice and casual maternity dresses without looking sloppy or making the woman look fat. I think Reese is doing really well!
