Vogue Names Best Dressed of '09

Want to know who to keep your eye on as far as style goes? Vogue has just announced their list of the best dressed women of 2009, and you may be surprised by this year’s winner!

Many of the women were expected to make the list, like Emma Watson, Diane Kruger, and Leighton Meester. But it seems the mag took a few risks this year, and included some women known for their outlandish wardrobes. Case in point? Lady Gaga and British singer Beth Ditto.

Our very own First Lady made the list at number 14. And we couldn’t agree more with that choice. Her gowns throughout the year have all been stunning and timeless.

But the big winner this year was Alexa Chung! She’s known best for her now-canceled program on MTV, called It’s On With Alexa Chung.

Alexa won the top prize for her “schoolgirl meets grandma” chic and “Brit-girl abroad sense of style.”

Judges at Vogue say, “She won over the U.S. style pundits with her quirky style and kept us on side by staying true to the formula that won her our approval in the first place.”

Here are the top five best-dressed women:

1. Alexa Chung
2. Audrey Tautou
3. Sarah Jessica Parker
4. Cheryl Cole
5. Dannii Minogue
