Whose Style Do You Like Best?

Limelight, Landov, Startraks (2), Fame

With their head-turning signature looks, these five women have captured the fashion spotlight — and the attention of the StyleWatch editors — this year. Diane Kruger is able to pull off edgy leather jackets and showstopping dresses with equal finesse. With colorful cardigans and bold jewelry, Michelle Obama has brought a sense of fun to First Lady refinement. Reese Witherspoon adds polish to simple, flattering staples — versatile dresses, easy tops, boyfriend jeans — with chic accessories. Rihanna always keeps us guessing: a bold-shouldered suit one day, a sexy mini the next, while Vanessa Hudgens has her boho look nailed, giving sweet tops, basic jeans and cute dresses a cool new spin. Tell us: Who’s your favorite? Who else would be on your best dressed list?

In a fitting tribute to London Fashion Week’s 25th anniversary, Christopher Bailey brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to the capital with his latest collection for Burberry Prorsum. On the star-studded front row, Gwyneth Paltrow took her spot next to Burberry campaign model, Emma Watson but not before rushing over to greet the famous editor-turned-movie star, Anna Wintour. “That’s so weird because I literally just saw your movie last night — I loved it!,” gushed Paltrow. Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, Mary-Kate Olsen, Frieda Pinto and the brand’s face Emma Watson were also seated front row at the show, where the theme was ‘traditional Burberry with a twist’ (think trench coats encrusted with silver rocks and ruched mini-dresses in pale pastel hues). “I thought it was brilliant,” Posh told PEOPLE backstage adding, “I loved the colors a lot and the accessories were great.” Frieda Pinto couldn’t have agreed more, herself in a pale yellow dress straight off the runway, she gushed to PEOPLE, “There were so many colours out there I would wear, it was hard to choose!” As Christopher Bailey was greeted by his famous friends, he told PEOPLE how honored he was to have their support. “We had people flying over just for tonight, it was unbelievable and really emotional actually.” At the after party, Liv headed for the stage to see The Kooks perform live, saying “Everything was just beautiful, and so I’m happy to be back in London. It really is my favorite city, besides New York, of course!” –Monique Jessen

Taylor Momsen Teams Up with Clinique and Teen Vogue: “I Love Makeup”

Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen has made a smoky eye her signature look, both on-screen and off-, and it was her love for all things beauty that made her show her support for Clinique and Teen Vogue for the Fresh Faces Tour. “I love make-up,“ Momsen told PEOPLE. “I love drama and I love self expression and extremes, so make-up is a great way to show that.” Starting in a New York City’s Union Square Plaza, hundreds of eager girls lined up by the “Mobile Beauty Studio” for their turn for a complimentary hair and beauty makeover by a team of professionals — including a photo op with a fashion photographer. And for Momsen, who is featured on the magazine’s September cover, coming out for the tour’s start was only natural. “Clinique’s one of the first brands I used and it’s a great partnership that they have with Teen Vogue,” said the 16-year-old starlet. “It’s really exciting.” As the Fresh Faces Tour moves across the country, three lucky girls will be chosen as “fresh faces” and win a trip to New York City.
