I'll admit it: I was never sold on Anne Hathaway as a woman of style, but her pure glam Armani Prive, at this year's Oscars, made me a believer. And how.


There was a lot of Glinda this year. Rose Byrne's Valentino Emmy iteration was among the best - "fairy princess" as a compliment, for a change.


More pure pretty? Olivia Wilde's Reem Acra confection at January 10th's Golden Globes.


People were sharply divided over Rihanna's November 23rd AMA frock - I thought it was a triumph for both the singer and Marchesa, both sweet and spiky.


I couldn't choose a favorite betwixt Natalie Portman's triumphant Rodarte, at the Oscars...


...or her more casual November 24th Vena Cava at the New York City Ballet. So I added both!


There was no arguing with Penelope Cruz's vintage Balmain, worthy of her Oscar win.


More stunning vintage? Thandie Newton, at the Baftas on February 7th.


In the sea of bugle beads that was 2009, Liv Tyler's May 4th Met Costume Institute Ball Stella McCartney stood out as classic, sexy, and fun.


Gabourey Sidibe had a number of amazing looks this year, but I particularly loved this vivid empire-waisted gown, at September's Toronto Film Festival.


Another example of a trend done perfectly: Leslie Mann's absurdly slinky screwball bombshell (by Pamella Roland) at the Oscars.


I loved Ashley Olsen's minimalist chic at the 5/4 Costume Institute Ball. A grown-up take on quirk! (By The Row.)


In the same school, Amber Valletta earns a place on this list for the second year in a row for her simple column at November 12th's NARS 15x15 launch.


And speaking of quirky elegance, how could I not mention Tilda Swinton, looking typically chic and idiosyncratic at Cannes, May 17th.


If I had to name a favorite? Probably Chloe Sevigny's Isaac Mizrahi Resort at the 2009 Emmys. As pretty as anything we saw but, on her, also totally fresh and pitch-perfect.

It wasn't even that hard, especially once the folks at Evil Beet Gossip showed it was possible. Unfortunately, the security loophole has now been closed. But I came away with plenty of screen grabs for your delectation.



Just look at fashion maven Mario, nobly presiding over his new online domain! And he already snagged corporate sponsorship.

CocoPerez is billed as a blog with longer-form writing — presumably, in the context of Perezland, that means the unbylined ghostwriters will be permitted one trisyllabic word per 58 posts — with more fashion news content than the mothership. And indeed, when I looked, there was a refreshing absence of acontextual paparazzi photos of stars with cum MS Paint-ed on their faces; the lead story was about Molly Sims' just-announced jewelry line for the Home Shopping Network, and there were two posted spreads from the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, Peter Lindbergh's PhotoShop-free supermodels editorial, and Terry Richardson's bizarre Michael Jackson tribute shoot with Agyness Deyn (their verdict: "Ferosh!")


The content reads like free-association stream-of-consciousness MadLibs, celebumodel edition. It's as though the writers are having a very hard time trying to come up with more than 40 words' worth of copy. (The Sims item throws in mention of Heidi Klum's jewelry line failure, the supposed "big score" of appearing on HSN, and Sims' apparent "love of photography," as though a thesis might magically appear out of sheer topical friction.)


And unfortunately, a lot of the site is pretty out-of-date. That Project Runway trailer hit the Internet almost a month ago; Audrey Tautou's Chanel No. 5 ad came out at the start of May; Anne Hathaway's Magnifique commercial dates from the summer of last year; and Madonna's behind-the-scenes Louis Vuitton video was released back in January.


And that's without mentioning these slideshows, which feature such up-to-the-minute subjects as Angelina Jolie's old modeling photos — saw those in In Touch last April — and Marc Jacobs' Fall 2009 collection, which walked at New York Fashion Week last February. What, Resort is too fresh for them?

The whole idea of Perez Hilton launching a site aimed specifically at young women — a demographic he otherwise shows little respect for or interest in — is pretty laughable. I'm sure women will see right through his bullshit for the marketing ploy it is.

Speaking of bull! Just in case you were worried about the proceedings getting too classy, what with the longer-form writing and the cutting-edge high-fashion sensibility, here's a post, titled "A Load Of Bull," which gives Perez a chance to do what he does best: crack jokes about Viagra and bull jizz.
