As 2010 draws to a close, one can look back on the past year in many different ways. One of those ways is remembering who wore what on the red carpet, otherwise known as celebrity fashion. And it is a big business-a strategically placed outfit can make a celebrity’s career. Case in point: how much did you really know about Jennifer Lopez before she wore that green, plunging Versace dress to the Grammys in 2000? Not much, right? Or how about when a then-virtually-unknown Elizabeth Hurley attended the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994-with the hit film’s star (and her beau at the time) Hugh Grant-in that sexy, safety pin embellished gown (also a Versace)? Do I detect a pattern here? You get my point. So without further a due, I present to you my top 10 picks for the Best of Red Carpet Fashion 2010:
Diane Kruger in a Chanel Couture dress at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards
Lea Michele in an Oscar de la Renta gown with Lorraine Schwartz diamonds at the 2010 Emmy Awards
