2011 has gone quicker than I thought it would and it's time to draw up my second annual 'Best-dressed' list! Happy holidays to one and all! xo
10. Australian beauty Miranda Kerr takes the tenth spot in this list.
I know she's a supermodel and has the ability to wear anything and still look fantastic, however, I'm more a fan of her street style; her casual day looks range from basic neutrals to floral maxis and she looks effortlessly chic in everything (while carrying her baby in tow sometimes).
Oh, and she's pretty stunning in formal togs too.
9. Jessica Alba gave us all a master class in maternity style this year.
Maxi dresses are a fail-safe choice for any mother-to-be but Jess made sure to keep every look interesting by way of the dress, accessories, and hair.
My personal favourites are the floral, off-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana dress & teal coloured, swallow-print Issa maxi.
8. Leighton Meester is without a doubt, the shoe queen of the red carpet.
In 2011 she wowed me in all her ensembles and from the girly Vera Wang dress to the edgy Michael Kors gown, Leighton always kept things fun and fashionable.
And you'll (almost) never catch this girl in a pair of boring black pumps.
7. Emma Watson takes spot number 7, for her enchanting, feminine sense of style.
Not one to be seen in skin-tight or short dresses, Emma sticks to her girly silhouettes and designs. She went for that famous pixie hairstyle earlier this year and this only added to her charm.
Personal favourites are the Oscar de la Renta gown & the Jason Wu ensemble.
6. Sarah Jessica Parker made many red carpet appearances in 2011, largely because she starred in a movie ('I Don't Know How She Does It').
Her summer wardrobe also included a lot of clothes by one of my favourite designers - Prabal Gurung and she single-handedly revived the white pump trend.
SJP may overdo the crazy accessories at times, but you can't accuse her of looking boring.
5. I honestly don't know how I forgot to put Freida Pinto in my best-dressed last year because ever since the Indian actress starred in 'Slumdog Millionaire', she has been giving us stellar looks.
This year, Freida starred in a lot of movies, which was great for us as we saw a variety of fantastic looks from her. Personal favourites are the Ralph Lauren jumpsuit & the Antonio Berardi dress.
4. Olivia Palermo is the only true blue fashionista on this list as she's not an actress.
The NYC based socialite and designer is known for her superb accessorising skills and the ability to put together stylish outfits from quirky separates. Her signature items include her Stuart Weitzman sandals and a fringed clutch.
3. Diane Kruger has been the most consistent this year.
The German actress kept firm hold of her fashion icon status by wearing her favourites like Chanel and Jason Wu but also ventured out in a high-fashion, neon Alessandra Rich gown (a favourite of mine).
2. Zoe Saldana takes the second spot on this list. It's not hard to see why as Zoe has a really fun, playful view of fashion.
She's always ahead of the pack, wearing pieces fresh off the runway and I have to say, she's one of those rare ladies in Hollywood who can carry off an ankle-strap without making her legs look stumpy.
1. Leading the charge is Emma Stone. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
I know she's a supermodel and has the ability to wear anything and still look fantastic, however, I'm more a fan of her street style; her casual day looks range from basic neutrals to floral maxis and she looks effortlessly chic in everything (while carrying her baby in tow sometimes).

1. Leading the charge is Emma Stone. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
The girl starred in three big movies ('Friends with Benefits', 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' & 'The Help') and wore designs from virtually every label in the world.
I love how Emma always looks confident & comfortable in whatever she's wearing - she wears the dress, not the other way around.
