LOS ANGELES: Pop star Taylor Swift, who has adopted a glamorous look on red carpets, was named People magazine’s best-dressed celebrity of the year on Wednesday.
Swift led the annual unranked list of the top 10 best-dressed celebrity style icons that also included Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o, singers Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna and actresses Emma Stone and Emma Watson.
One of Nyong’o’s most memorable red carpet moments was the “Nairobi blue” Prada dress she wore to win her Oscar while Emma’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 London premiere gown (by Atelier Versace) was nothing short of amazing.
Rising starlets Chloe Grace Moretz and “Mad Men” actress Kiernan Shipka tied for a spot on the list, rounding out the 11 honorees.
Swift, 24, opted for figure-hugging ball gowns, cropped tops with skirts, sequined mini dresses and most recently at the MTV Video Music Awards, a derriere-skimming Mary Katrantzou alphabet romper that she told the magazine “was a risk.” The singer described her own style as “feminine, leggy and ever-changing.”
J Lo, the 45-year-old star has yet to meet a skin-baring trend she doesn’t like … or can’t pull off. Proof: The Atelier Versace design she selected for the Fashion Rocks Concert, which puts her enviable body on display without seeming ridiculous. “She looks phenomenal in everything, so we get to have more fun playing with her looks rather than analyzing what needs to be avoided,” her stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn told People magazine.
“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington was named world’s best dressed woman last year, but she did not feature in this year’s list.
People also named its best-dressed celebrity couples, which include singer John Legend and model wife Chrissy Teigen, country music couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert and late night talk show host Seth Meyers and his wife Alexi Ashe.
