The year in style

FAMOUS AND FASHIONABLE: With an unlimited amount of money and access to all the boutiques in the world, it's a wonder more of today's celebrities can't claim the title of best dressed. But, unfortunately, many stars are more sorry than stylish when it comes to their closets. These 12 are exceptions for always looking their best. What makes some stand out is their ability to change their image in full flawlessly, and for others it's finding a look that works for them and sticking with it. Clockwise from top left: Kate Bosworth has nailed the retro look; Kate Hudson still looks like she's raiding the closet from "Almost Famous," in a good way; Rihanna rocked a killer hair cut; Amy Winehouse has made wino-style her own, for better or for worse; Rachel Bilson has emerged as "The O.C." actress who just might last; Michelle Williams is a latter-day Mia Farrow; Agness Deyn channels Pete Doherty; Whitney Port proves that she should be the one designing a collection, not Lauren; Jessica Alba has emerged as the top Jessica in town; Natalie Portman shaves her head, refuses to wear leather and still emerges as the best-dressed starlet in town; Anne Hathaway channels classic style; Katie Holmes may be a pod-person, but at least she looks good doing it.
