Popular fashion magazine Vanity Fair has released its International Best-Dressed List for 2010, and, this year, it’s got a few surprises.
The most eyebrow-raising choices on the magazine’s annual list of top fashionistas are in the “originals” category, which includes cover girl Lady Gaga, fashion designer John Galliano and actress Helena Bonham Carter.
According to the mag, Gaga channels the “Dada Catholic girl” in the spirit of Gypsy Rose Lee and Rosie, the Jetson’s robot maid, while Bonham Carter, who says her favorite items of clothing is her “bloomers,” is inspired by British fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood and Marie Antoinette.
Galliano finds his inspiration in Oliver Twist, and his favorite shoes are his “lucky biker boots.”
Vanity Fair sends ballots to thousands of people, in the U.S. and abroad, believed to have the inside scoop on style, including designers, retailers, editors, socialites, photographers and entertainers. Amy Fine Collins, Aimee Bell and Reinaldo Herrera oversee the 71-year-old list, which the magazine inherited from the late fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert in 2004.
This year marks U.S. first lady Michelle Obama’s fourth consecutive appearance on the list, noting she has practically single-handedly revived arms, belts, cardigans, shifts, high hair and kitten-heel pumps, and it’s the third year for France’s first lady, Dior-wearing Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. British first lady Samantha Cameron is making her debut, with the magazine pointing to her wardrobe full of brooches, bib necklaces and the labels Phillip Lim and Erdem.
Fashion as a category was well-represented with Tory Burch, Elber Albaz of Lanvin, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Stacey Bendet Eisner of Alice & Olivia, and Glamour magazine editor-in-chief Cindi Leive making the cut, as well as Ralph Lauren’s three adult children, David, Dylan and Andrew. Royals have their style ambassadors in Princess Mary of Denmark and hall of famer, Germany’s Princess Mafalda of Hesse.
Among the stars who made this year’s list were Diane Kruger, Carey Mulligan, Javier Bardem, Martin Scorsese, Alec Baldwin, Pharrell Williams, siblings Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, and couple Ed Burns and Christy Turlington.
