10. Rihanna: Risqué at the CFDA Awards

Rihanna: Risqué at the CFDA Awards I know not everyone will agree with this addition but I thought Rihanna looked so fiercely sexy in this Adam Selman gown. Yes, it's a little OTT but only RiRi could pull this off effortlessly. Afterall, there's a reason why she won the style icon award.

12. Sonam Kapoor: Keeping It Traditional at the Cannes Film Festival

Sonam Kapoor: Keeping It Traditional at the Cannes Film Festival Trust Sonam Kapoor to put a spin on the humble saree and make it look so haute couture. That Anamika Khanna saree looked spectacular on her and that necklace certainly made quite the statement!

    I do not agree with the yellow Blake lively dress. She is far to busty for the very deep plunging neck line, the color is just off, and the dress shape around her legs is just too tight. I realize the clinging dress look is very 'fashion forward'; however very very few people can pull it off. All that being said she blew it out of the park with that blood red number. Absolutely stunning dress from the neckline down to the floor. Love that dress.
