Wow, 2008 is quickly coming to an end (approximately 9 hours left), but what a marvelous year it was for the red carpet. 2008 brought incredible individuality, creativity, and innovation to fashion, particularly to the art of dress making. InStyle just came out with their 20 Best Red Carpet Dresses, which might I add, is an amazing collection. I also love their list of Most Outrageous Accessories, particularly the dramatic headpiece Sarah Jessica Parker displayed for the London premiere of Sex and the City in May.
However, it was Natalie Portman who takes the cake for style icon of 2008 -- in my opinion. The crimson Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress she wore at the London premiere of The Other Boleyn Girl in February clearly exhibits her impeccable fashion sense. Yet, my Portman pick of the year is the white Givenchy haute couture draped dress she wore ever so elegantly at Cannes.
Although my favorite, Natalie wasn't the only fashion icon of 2008. Rhianna also proved herself a true break-out style icon. I absolutely love the Zac Posen’s corseted raffia design she wore to the Grammy's, as well as the royal blue feather-hemmed knee-grazing skirt she changed into mid-event.
Although 2008 was a year to remember in the world of fashion, I must say that I am ready to ring in the new year, as well its new collections and trends.
Happy New Year's Eve!
