BEST DRESSED CELEBRITIES OF 2007

Wednesday, December 26, 2007

  PAGE(S): 1 2

Another year of red carpet stunners, blunders, and “oops, that almost slipped out” has passed by with no injuries. Infact, some of entertainment’s most noteworthy stepped their wardrobe game in ‘07, and developed individual styles to set themselves away from the rest.

So without further ado, here is a list of this year’s best dressed black star power

RIHANNA - 07’s “IT” GIRL

ribest.jpg

Rihanna was also my pick for “most improved” in 2006, and she definitely progressed in 2007. The singer not only took over the charts with “Umbrella”, but she took over the red carpet wherever she appeared. With her new edgy haircut, she had girls everywhere heading to the salon. Her model physique and her punk-glam style combined set her apart from any other female artist in her league. Not to mention, she was also our first feature for ‘Star Style’ earlier this year.

HALLE BERRY - 07’s STYLISH MOM-TO-BE

hallebest.jpg

Halle Berry was one of many ladies in Hollywood to be expecting in 2007. Though most of the Mothers-to-be had their own stylish ways of outfitting their pregnancies, Berry vavavoomed whenever she stepped on the carpet. Her outfits already flattered her body before she started showing…and even flattered her more after!

NIA LONG - 07’s STYIN’ SECRET

niabest.jpg

Nia Long did not make many appearances in 2007, but when she did - she came with a smokin’ hot bang. Nia Long may be getting older, but she is not at all aging - and her classy and sexy style shows that off well.

KERRY WASHINGTON - 07’s FASHIONISTA

Kerry Washington has always been on top of things when it came to her looks, and she continued to be a style star this year. Looking at her unique and different styles from appearance to appearance, its obvious that Kerry is an admirer of all things high fashion. She no doubt, holds the reign of 2007’s fashionista.

COMMON - 07’s BEST DRESSED MALE

commonbest.jpg

This was a great year for Common and his new album Finding Forever, and I really got a sense of him through fashion for the first time in 07′. Common displays his own individuality with not only his music, but his style as well - from his suit game to his casual gear.

JENNIFER LOPEZ - 07’s CARPET FAVORITE

jlobest.jpg

Jennifer Lopez is one latina that will dress her butt off, and she made no mistakes this year. Though she is now still looking great as another Mom-to-be in 08′, she was killing the carpet way before her pregnancy in 2007.

KANYE & ALEXIS - 07’s FLY’EST COUPLE

kaneyalexbest.jpg

We all know the Louis Vuitton Don does his thing in the fashion game, but when his girl Alexia Phifer steps up with him - they take over. With a designing girlfriend and fashionisto boyfriend, it’s only natural right?

I agree with everything/everyone except about Queen Latifah. Her bad wig choices around the time she was promoting Hairspray? There was no excuse for that!!!

Great post and I can honestly state that I agree with every choice for the best dressed in fashion this year. I hope that next year my girl Tracee Ellis Ross, will be on there because she is one of the best dressed in Hollywood.

The list looks good. But Rhianna did not start a trend with that hairstyle. It’s an old style that’s been out for years; and many other celebs have been rocking that hairstyle before her.

I disagree with the Queen Latifah one, I don’t think she looks good in any of these pics. Kanye and Alexis always look like the compliment each other, looks hot!

I loved Common’s look this year. Not sure if Jay-Z was really that deserved. Hov always looks nice but I’m a little tired because I feel like he does the same looks over and over. However, he was very much in the spotlight and I can’t think of anyone that out-did him. Loving Alexis & Kanye for the couple pick. They are adorable!

I agree with your pick for Queen, she has constantly represented. There aren’t a lot of big girls on the carpet who can look classy and stylish like she can. For example, how many times have we laughed at Mo’Nique’s country ass!!!

I would love to see more of Nia, Halle & Kerry. They’ve popped up on Concrete Loop a lot this year and I hope it continues. Oh & I’m with the girl who was voting for Tracee. She’s definitely a bad chick…

#8 you are soo right! tracee is the bomb. although i will say she has been slipping just a tad bit. just a tad though. but love her. She is no. 1 in my book. 2. JLO 3. Halle Berry. Always regal.

RIHANNA TRYS IIT TO MUCH, I WOULDN’T SAY SHE IIS THE BEST DRESS COZ THERE IS LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRIE WHO CAN DRESS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN HER.NO MATTER HOW BIG SHE BECOMES I STILL SEE HER AS A GIRL FROM NEXT DOOR, BAJAN PRETTY FUCKED UP FOREHEAD FACE.. SHE IS TRYING 2 HARD TO GET TO BEYONCE LEVEL… I BET UMBRELLA WILL BE HER ONLY BIIG SONG…SHE WON’T GET AS FAR AS BEYONCE…. 2007 MAY B HER YEAR BUT AM STILL WAITIN ON WOT SHE IS GOING TO DO IN 2008…IT BETTA BE GOOD….SHE NEVER GIIVE HER TIIME TO GROW COZ EVERY YEAR SHE COMES WIV ALBUM..LOOK AT BEYONCE SHE IS JUST ON HER 2 ALBUM. RIIHANNMA BETTA THING QUICK B4 SHE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS…SHE IS JUST 19 AND SHES ACTIIN 25…..

BY DA WAY…..

This is a great post and all of the celebrities deserve to be on the list. For Queen Latifah to be plus-size, she sure does rock dress that compliment her figure. It seems likes ifs kind of hard for big girls to do that especially Jennifer Hudson.

Jay-Z swagger does look good except for when he sags his pants. I hate when he does that, he is almost 40 and still sagging and I think that is ridiculous. Other than that his style game is on point.

Rhi Rhi did her thang this year. LOL@Kanye, his too cool self always is stylin. Tia Mowry also did her thang this year.

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 /

Hey y’all - for Best Dressed Male I was expecting to see T.I. That man’s swagger has just been ridiculous this year. Common is hot, too - I especially like his casual looks. Other than that - I agree with this entire post. Rihanna is gorgeous - love the hair! Nia Long has always kept it stylish with the hair and the clothes.

I can’t really argue with this list. But A. Keys could have been stuck in there somewhere. She has stepped up her game from back in the day.

Y’all remember when she wore that “MS CELY BLK FUNERAL HAT w/ THE LACE VEIL” to an awards show?

aa shut up 34 and take your ass somewhere. Every end of the year list is pretty predictable especially if you’ve been reading and seeing these stars every day. Take your ass to Us Magazine or something.

@40

rihanna didnt have u goin in the salon but she did with the majority of the girls. come to barbados and u will see a lot of girls askin fuh the rihanna haircut. we all know she didnt invent the cut but she brought it back in 2007 and everyone went crazy for it. i have a cousin in atlanta and she told me that girls are comin in her salon wantin the same rihanna haircut. it is in america too. other celebs had the cut but they didnt influence anyone to get it until rihanna came along. the girl has mad style.

RIHANNA WAS DEFINITELY THE BEST DRESSED THIS YEAR, THE ONLY TIME SHE MESSED UP A LITTLE WAS THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS WITH THAT SKIMPY OUTFIT.

Rihanna has definitely stepped her fashion game up. She is just a fab chick, I love her style. She is a trendsetter.

Ciara- I agree she has improved a lot from that horrible dressed she wore years ago on the BET awards.

Kerry Washington- I love her. She has a sophisticated beauty that most young girls should follow. She is just so classy.

Tia- I love Tia. She style is great. I just love every outfit she wears.

I absolutely LOVE CiCi so I’m glad she was recognized. She’s really improving and pretty soon her style is going to match her status in the industry. :) I’m just wondering where Beyonce is on the list though? She ALWAYS has great style.
I do believe Rihanna deserves her spot on the list. No one saying she is a great artist or on top of anything, it’s just that her stylist did a tremendous job dressing her this year. Nobody use notice Rihanna on here until she had that bob-cut and until she started reinventing herself, style-wise. I’m not a fan of her or her music( HELL NO! lol) but I do agree that she was the best dressed female this year. Mad props to her stylist of course. Oh and the guys killed the carpet year… unbelieveable!

C’mon Ciara is OK…but Serena did a style 180 this year…so give her her props!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 /

Rhianna was a great choice for 07′, but where’s Gabrielle Union? Kelly Rowland? & Tracee Ellis Ross? I know you didn’t have room for all, but honestly 1 of them could have replaced Ciara because she don’t deserve to be on that list. Yes. She’s improved, but not enough. I’m still smh at Beyonce being no#.1. Honestly I don’t get it. She’s too over the top with her accessories and shiny clothing. When she’s dressed by designers she looks nice, but when she dresses herself or wear that “house of dead wrong” she over does it. I can count how many times I’ve actually liked something that she’s worn. You did a good job of displaying pictures where she actually looks nice, but this is rare compared to the photos posted of her day to day on blogs.

Is it just me but does Alexis hair always looked uncombed? I mean she’s an cute chick but her edges always look like she needs a touch-up. I love that she has a round away girl look but the hair is killing me and so is the lipstick.

But other than that, Good choices. Everyone looks FABULOUS!

Gabrielle Union dresses so plain!!! Looks like she buys her clothes from Macy’s!! Nothing ever looks like its designer!! I mean yes you can buy off the rack but the Kohl’s fashion show she puts on is tired!! Everyone on the list deserved to be on it except for Jay-Z. His get up in Paris the week before was ugly especially the all black get up with the do-rag matching his attire!! I wont be caught dead with a flower satin scarf wrapped around my head ten times running to the store so he damn sure should have taken his mess off of his head!! Still trying to get wave at 40 yrs old!! He does have the swagger but should have gotten honorable mention. A. Keys should have been mentioned. She has stepped up her game considerably. the days of cornbraids and fedoras with the matching Willi Smith denim collection from TJ Maxx is over!! her stylist deserves an award!!
