LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - She fills two converted bedrooms with clothes -- one
for casual and a second for glam -- and staying organized worked for singer
Fergie <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/fergie/13> who on Wednesday made People
magazine's 2008 list of best dressed women.
"I don't like to throw anything away,"
Fergie<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/fergie/13>said about the clothes in
her "closets" for People's widely-watched Best &
Worst Dressed 2008 issue that hits newsstands this Friday.
Joining Fergie <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/fergie/13>, whose hits include
"Glamorous," in the top 10 list were actresses Kate
Hudson<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/kate-hudson/28>,
Anne Hathaway <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/anne-hathaway/320>, Gwyneth
Paltrow, Charlize Theron <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/charlize-theron/192>, Eva
Mendes <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/eva-mendes/129>, and Sarah Jessica
Parker <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/sarah-jessica-parker/80>. Singer
Rihanna<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/rihanna/224>and supermodel Heidi
Klum <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/heidi-klum/17> also made the list.
Rounding out the top 10 -- and making a campaign statement for fashion --
was Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama,
who was given high marks for a look that was "classic and confident."
"She has a look. She works it with confidence, and she knows what looks good
on her," said People's Style Editor Clarissa Cruz.
But Obama played down the notion that her sense of style might be anything
close to couture, telling People: "Some of my favorite summer dresses are
from Gap and H&M."
"The thing they all have in common is that they all had a great year, stuck
to their own personal style and stayed true to that," said Cruz.
The magazine's editors also spent time peering into the fashion
choices of Republican
vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- her rimless glasses, step-toe
pumps and updo hairstyle.
"People are paying attention to what she's wearing, and we felt that was a
news story," Cruz said.
Palin didn't talk to People, but her hairdresser did. She said the candidate
would rather not discuss style choices "because she wants people to hear
what she has to say."
The makers of the Kazuo Kawasaki eye glasses favored by Palin told People
that demand has been "overwhelming" and "mostly from the middle states."
Then there are those fashion moments People would rather forget.
The magazine's editors pick apart red carpet disaster dresses worn by singer
and "American Idol" judge Paula
Abdul<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/paula-abdul/142>and actress Lucy
Liu <http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/lucy-liu/839>, as well as the
aqua-and-orange boots and fedora favored by Patricia
Arquette<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/patricia-arquette/757>
.
"These were stumbles that were too over the top to ignore," Cruz said.
Other highlights of the double issue include best dressed television show --
"Gossip Girl" -- and most memorable style moments including Lindsay
Lohan<http://omg.yahoo.com/celebs/lindsay-lohan/36>'s
mink coat mixup in which she left a party wearing another woman's $11,000
heirloom coat.
