2012: Freida Pinto
I thought it'd be fun to start with someone we haven't seen in a while! She looks so good. The color, the necklace, the fabric, all of it.
2012: Sofia Vergara
The workmanship in that skirt is incredible. She loves a fishtail, but this one stands out.
2012: Bitsie Tulloch
This is another one that's texturally really good. Also I was happy to rediscover her on the site looking so nice, as I just watched her in Superman & Lois. (It was good but I hope they let her do more than be stressed out.)
2012: Evan Rachel Wood
Sequins into feathers maybe shouldn't work... but it really, really does.
2012: Laura Dern
I'm a sucker for green.
2012: Heidi Klum
Who knew she had it in her?
2012: Angelina Jolie
This is also memorable because if memory serves, being two-tone makes it the closest to a pattern she's ever worn.
2012: Dianna Agron
This was an up-and-down dress for me. I love the work on the top, but I think the bottom needed to lay off the details.
2012: Erin Wasson
SURPRISE. I will never forget the noise I made when I saw this for the first time. An outfit that makes me exclaim aloud when I'm alone is TRULY something, and this monstrous loincloth did the job.
2012: Emma Stone
Fug Nation voted her best-dressed this year.
2012: Nicole Kidman
This is also quite fab.
2013: Nicole Kidman
Jump to 2013, though, and she's got some serious crazy-eyes, which I interpret as a silent message to all the bloggers that she knows exactly what we're doing to kvetch about and she, too, isn't sure why this midsection is happening.
2013: Lucy Liu
This is one of the more dramatic Globes offerings. I really like it, but I understand why some people didn't.
2013: Julianna Margulies
This just looks like a smeary mess.
2013: Eva Longoria
It is always a problem when you have to cover your own crotch in order to move safely.
2013: Jennifer Garner
Gorgeous.
2013: Halle Berry
This is a complete mess. One of her boobs looks like it's oozing out of place. At the time, someone pointed out that this is the kind of dress we would laugh out of town on anyone but Halle, and I agree that her powers are admirable, but: I'm still laughing it out of town.
2013: Kerry Washington
But WHY.
2013: Julianne Moore
One of her best.
2013: Odette Annable
I have always remembered this one -- the hit of neon, and her choice to match the shoes to it, were such a happy surprise.
2014: Caitlin FitzGerald
This is a great dress, but she gets an A+ for the purse and shoes with it.
2014: Lupita
Another unforgettable one.
2014: Berenice Bejo
Rogaine is a heck of a drug.
2014: Lizzy Caplan
I miss her on red carpets.
2014: Paula Patton
I ALSO miss her on red carpets, but for different reasons. This is explosively wacky, like she's conducting a rescue operation for a set of sheets.
2014: Julia Roberts
I get where she thought she was going with this, but there are too many little missteps.
2014: Zoe Saldana
This is one massive misstep. I don't think there's a RIGHT part of it.
2014: Sandra Bullock
This also has too much going on. It's like a walking gender reveal party and in half an hour it's going to go blue or pink.
2014: Rashida Jones
I had totally forgotten this, and it's really unusual and great.
2014: Amy Adams
Very sexy.
2014: Lady Victoria Hervey
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a dispatch from a gaping chasm of sartorial doom.
2014
What can I even say?
2015: Kate Mara
Why is this belt there? WHY. I mean, presumably to do belt things, but it is EMPHATICALLY the wrong belt.
2015: Leslie Mann
This is all great, but the purse is really making my heart flutter.
2015: Anna Kendrick
This is easily one of her best.
2015: Emma Stone
I'm sure at the time I kvethched about the pants and train, but let's be honest, it's pretty chic.
2015: Goop
Nope. The fit is catastrophic. Is this her way of trying to counterbalance the pink dress in which she won for Shakespeare In Love, which was baggy?
2015: Julianne Moore
That's fabulous.
2015: Keira Knightley
That is... not.
2015: Rosamund Pike
Custom Vera Wang, and it fits like she just opened two maxi pads and strung them together with dental floss.
2015: Uzo Aduba
Fab dress, and since it's Uzo, we can assume the shoes also rule.
2015: Viola
All hail.
2016: Cate Blanchett
That is more shiny pink tassel activity than anyone needs.
2016: Jenna Dewan
One of my all-time favorites.
2016: Olivia Wilde
This is also easily one of her best. It's SO GOOD. The color, the fit. Eat your heart out, Jason Sudeikis.
2016: Laverne Cox
Striking as hell, and beautifully fit.
2016: Jaimie Alexander
The deep vee was polarizing, but I love the pattern. To me it's dreamy.
2016: Katy Perry
She made a big deal about how she'd hired a new stylist to turn her into a more serious fashion person, and all that did was turn her into a precursor to Kacey Musgraves, except with everything too tight. I'm glad Katy has leaned back into her wacky side.
2016: Nicole
This is McQueen, I think? I assume it's MEANT to look like a tsunami?
2016: Emma Stone
This was her winning year, and she picked the right dress for it.
2017: Thandie Newton
Dipped in FLAME. I love it.
2017: Anna Kendrick
This is one of the top most unsettling optical illusions ever. That bodice should be BURNED.
2017: Sophie Turner
Louis Vuitton, YOU ARE THE WORST.
2017: Issa Rae
She is so good at this.
2017: SJP
She... is so mixed at this. Why are her sleeves rebelling? Why are they there in the first place? JUST WHY.
2017: Caitriona Balfe
She made a late charge and very nearly won best-dressed this year...
2017:
... but Viola edged her out, and I'm not complaining.
