It’s that time again! 2012 was a big year in style, and it felt almost nearly impossible to pick the most fashionable stars—but it had to be done. There were a lot of fabulous moments, but not every star stayed consistent. For my year end countdown below, I selected 20 celebrities—male and female, that I felt stood out the most. Did any of your favorites make the cut?

20. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
There was no slow start to a year of style for Joseph, who kicked his red carpet moments off with a dapper look at the Golden Globe Awards in January. I really liked the satin trim of his tuxedo, but it was obviously the printed bow tie that stole the show. Throughout the next twelve months, JGL continued to thrive with his choices that were filled with character; from pinstripes to a totally fashion-forward chocolate velvet tartan Alexander McQueen suit for a talk show appearance. I particularly liked the way he partnered a three piece navy suit with a coordinating plaid shirt. Seriously, how could he not make this list?

First Lady Michelle Obama looked amazing in a single-shoulder black gown when she attended the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 42nd annual cocktail dinner for the legislative conference, held on September 22nd at the Washington Convention Center.

Our FLOTUS selected a black pleated silk gown by Michael Kors with a dazzling embellished belt.

The color wasn’t in-your-face, it fit like a dream and showed off Mrs. O’s toned arms. | continue reading..

Michelle Obama, our First Lady of the United States, delivered a powerful and inspiring speech last night during the Democratic National Convention, which was held at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

If you were able to pull your thoughts away from every word she spoke, naturally, your focus was immediately drawn to the lovely dress our FLOTUS was rocking. Mrs. O wore custom-made pink toile and blue-gray printed tea-length dress by Tracy Reese that was sleeveless to show off Michelle’s extremely toned arms.

I found this to be a perfect dress for the evening. It wasn’t too serious, but it was beautiful and ladylike — much like our First Lady. | continue reading..

Michelle Obama, our First Lady of the United States, took over late night television on Monday night as a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” to promote President Barack Obama’s campaign in the presidential run this year.

Our beautiful FLOTUS was as pretty as flower in a sunny pale yellow layered tea-length dress from the Resort 2012 collection by Bibhu Mohapatra. As if the color of sunshine wasn’t striking enough against Mrs. Obama’s complexion, the vibrant brushstroke pattern of navy, white and teal green on the asymmetric overlay was simply gorgeous. | continue reading..

First Lady Michelle Obama was a guest of honor at a special reception hosted by her majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, which was held for Heads of State and Government officials that were attending the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on Friday evening in London, England.

First Lady Michelle Obama came out to speak to supporters and volunteers at the Barbara Goleman Senior High School yesterday during a campaign event in Miami Lakes, Florida — and she wore a dress that may be very familiar to you.

The always stylish First Lady of the United States was donned in the exact same printed Chris Benz “Nelda” dress that she wore almost exactly a year ago for a taping of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” show!

This bright green and turquoise patterned sheath dress comes from the Resort 2011 collection by designer. | continue reading..

Tonight was the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner where some of the hottest stars in Hollywood, news media correspondents and political peeps gather for a soirèe in Washington, D.C.

The dinner was hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

I could go on and on about the evening, but let’s get to what you came to this post for — who designed the gown that First Lady Michelle Obama was wearing. | continue reading..

It was pretty unanimous if you asked any of the stars on the orange carpet who they “most wanted to see” at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards this past Saturday night.

They all mentioned the same woman — First Lady Michelle Obama!

When she wasn’t dancing in the audience to One Direction and having a fun time with her daughters Sasha and Malia, the FLOTUS was hitting the stage to present Taylor Swift with the “Big Help” award. | continue reading..

First Lady Michelle Obama made a very stylish appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday!

With her hair styled in a smooth bob with swept bangs, the FLOTUS shined in a gorgeous white, royal blue, and kelly green color-blocked short sleeve sheath dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Preen.

I love the pairing of these colors and the chic asymmetric design in which they are styled on the top. | continue reading..

Michelle Obama knows how to dazzle on the red carpet!

Joined by her husband President Barack Obama, the FLOTUS glammed it up for the U.S. State Dinner to honored the British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha Cameron at the White House last Wednesday.

Michelle showed off those famous toned shoulders of her in a stunning teal wide neck gown by Marchesa.

What a color! This design was modified from a creation seen during the Resort 2012 collection. | continue reading..
