Carey Mulligan scoops best dressed award 2010: Young actress’s kooky fashion savvy beats Victoria Beckham and Yasmin Le Bon to Harper’s Bazaar’s best dressed crown.The young British star Carey Mulligan, has been crowned the Best Dressed Woman of 2010 by the UK glossy, Harper’s Bazaar.The 25-year-old actress outclassed more seasoned contenders for the title such as Victoria Beckham, Tilda Swinton, Natalia Vodianova, and even the Prime Minister’s wife, SamCam.
Mulligan, described by one of the judges, the designer Erdem Moralioglu, as being “Like a Godard starlet – but totally modern”, has rarely been off the fashion radar since her much-nominated appearance in “An Education”.
With the assistance of her stylist, Tina Laakkonen, she continually challenges and surprises with her insider knowledge of the latest lust-have names. In the last year alone, she has worn Lanvin, Vionnet, Azzaro, Nina Ricci, Giles and Bottega Veneta, together with Chanel, Prada, Miu Miu, Elie Saab, Proenza Schouler and, the Singaporean, Nepal-raised and New York-based, Prabal Gurung, who is one of American Vogue’s Anna Wintour’s ‘hot’ names to watch.
Mulligan’s only slight fall from style grace happened in the aftermath of her recent break-up with actor, Shia LaBeouf, but even then she managed to make grunge-y jeans, a scraggy T-shirt and no make-up look appealing rather than appalling.
Victoria Beckham was the runner-up in the Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed poll, with Yasmin Le Bon in third place.
The judging panel, which included the magazine’s editor, Lucy Yeomans, Sienna Miller, Stephen Jones, Kim Hersov and Moralioglu, selected the Top 20 women who represent all that is great about British style today, ranging in age from Coco Sumner, the 20-year old daughter of Sting, to Bianca Jagger, 65. The list also included the mother-and-daughter duo of the ‘Brazilian Bombshell’, Andrea Dellal, and her shoe designer-daughter, Charlotte.
Others listed included Alexa Chung, Florence Welch, Kristin Scott Thomas, Natalie Massenet, Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, Sienna Miller, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Shingai Shoniwa of The Noisettes.
Full list below.
HARPER’S BAZAAR BEST DRESSED LIST 2010
1. Carey Mulligan – actor
Judges say: ‘So Sixties French New Wave – like a Godard starlet – but totally modern’
2. Victoria Beckham – designer
‘Victoria has grown into her own style. She has gone from a girl-band star to this chic, ladylike woman with serous fashion clout’
3. Yasmin Le Bon – model and designer
‘She always looks polished and very accessible – always true to herself’
4. Alexa Chung – presenter
‘She can do smart and she can do dressed-down very well. She’s very honest and true to her personality’
5. Florence Welch – singer
‘Florence is a flame-haired, milky-skinned beauty who knows how to work a romantic style – part vintage, part rock chick – that is equally sexy, edgy and strong’
6. Kristin Scott Thomas – actor
‘Always very well dressed, but I think she can also “do fashion” in a way that many women her age can’t’
7. Tilda Swinton – actor
Judges say: ‘A strikingly strong woman who pulls off any look with those long, gamine limbs of hers. Her individuality is her beauty’
8. Natalia Vodianova – model
‘Natalia has a fresh, ladylike style and an unerring sense of what suits her. She always brings a youthful innocence to whatever she wears – even this sexy sheer lace dress’
9. Natalie Massenet – businesswoman
‘She always looks so amazingly groomed. Her hair is perfect. And of course she has the most amazing wardrobe to choose from’
10. Samantha Cameron – businesswoman
‘How to champion the British fashion industry, be a working mum and avoid the harsh eye of the tabloid press? Tricky indeed – but Samantha mixes high street and designer with understated ease’
11. Gwyneth Paltrow – actor
‘Gwyneth is like a Parisian from New York walking through London. The contrast of the Chanel with the boxy boy shorts, gladiators and aviators is totally modern and cool, but above all beautiful’
12. Andrea Dellal – model and muse
‘It’s cheating: she’s Brazilian; she’s a model; she has an amazing wardrobe – stunning’
13. Kate Moss – model
‘Whether it’s Topshop or couture, she’s mesmerising’
14. Bianca Jagger – campaigner
‘Her style has never faltered – in a YSL tux or über-glam Cavalli kaftan, she is always elegant, refined and unerringly strong’
15. Stella McCartney – designer
‘Stella is the embodiment of the modern woman. Polished and sexy without looking like she has tried. Attractive and strong at the same time’
16. Sienna Miller – actor
‘She always looks good – even in her pyjamas’
17. Sam Taylor-Wood – artist
‘Sam makes brave fashion choices, but always owns every look. She navigated the sartorial challenge of pregnancy with flair’
18. Charlotte Dellal – designer
‘She does that Forties glamour-puss look, but with a very modern sheen on it – she makes it feel contemporary and extremely cool’
19. Shingai Shoniwa – singer
‘In the past year, Shingai has proved herself a real contender in the style stakes. Her provocative use of colour and print is sheer showmanship’
20. Coco Sumner – musician
‘The perfect combination of straggly teenage boy and nymph, but essentially gorgeous. The contrast of beautiful bare legs and army boots feels totally right’
