4. Halle Berry’s cerulean Versace, Cameron Diaz’s fuschia Dior, Reese Witherspoon’s yellow Nina Ricci and Gwyneth’s peach Zac Posen gowns.

5. After only three episodes of Gossip Girl, the ladies of the show managed to launch themselves into the forefront of the 20-somethings fashion scene, both on and off the set.

7. The debut of a cleaner, leaner and much more sharply dressed Marc Jacobs.

8. The continually evolving style of Katie Holmes; lady isn’t afraid to endure a little pain for fashion, even after running a 26-mile marathon …

9. Any fashionable (or not) sightings of Ashley and/or Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Bosworth, and Cate Blanchett. And okay, fine, Victoria Beckham, even if she does look like a femme-bot.

10. More bold fashion from Patricia Fields, in the Sex and the City movie and the upcoming Cashmere Mafia.
