Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig

Not a good dress but SUCH A GOOD KISS.

Samira Wiley in Calvin Klein

Glorious and gorgeous.

Elizabeth Banks in Dolce & Gabbana

Not that many people can pull off SO many horizontal stripes.

Heidi Klum in Zac Posen

The best she has ever looked, period, and possibly also the best thing he has ever made.

Laura Dern in Alberta Ferretti

I wish she'd flicked her hair out of her face. That gunmetal gown is perfection.

Robin Roberts

She can do anything.

Anna Cleveland in Ralph & Russo

Anna is a model (and Pat Cleveland's daughter) and I have to be honest: Her catwalk shenanigans for Zac Posen make me insane (lots of twirling and weird walking and glaring and ME ME ME stuff, although I know he digs it). But she looks WONDERFUL in this dress. We happened to be covering this party, and as we left, we walked past her in the atrium being twirled in this dress, and she was clearly having a damn blast in it. Kind of a perfect moment, in a perfect, perfect gown.

Lupita Nyong'o in Elie Saab

We liked this better than many of you. I just think it's enchanting. Also, she wore it on the telecast with her glasses and Jared Leto was like, "HELLO," so that ruled.

Viola Davis in Donna Karan

She is basically everything I would ever hope to be.

Sandra Bullock in Monique Lhuillier

She's 51. I'm not. I look 51; she doesn't.

Leslie Mann in Kaufmanfranco

Flawless, right down to the green clutch.

Reese Witherspoon in David Koma

This is one of the few red carpet dresses that I look at and think, "MAYBE my body could do that?" It's fantastic. Like really sexy chain mail.

Samira Wiley in Milly

She is one of my very favorites on the red carpet lately. Enviable in every way.

Julianne Moore in Givenchy

We gave most of our attention to what she wore to the Globes during her "Still Alice" run, but honestly, the moreI look, the more I like this better. That green is just to die for on her, and all too rarely seen on the red carpet.

Lupita Nyong'o in Jason Wu

And yet we saw it again. And it worked AGAIN. What a gorgeous spin on a peplum.

Taylor Schilling in Vionnet

Needs a better lip, but this is one of the best things she's worn: interesting, lively, and properly fit.

Kerry Washington in Saloni

This is preppy in the most delightful way, but what really slays me are the zig-zag shoes.

Amber Heard

I thought she pulled off this suit with real aplomb.

Michelle Obama in Oscar de la Renta

I didn't have a full shot of this dress, but I saw one on People, and it was FABULOUS.

Jennifer Lopez in Valentino

Maybe we appreciate this the most because she goes to SUCH PAINS to wear crazy cracked-out shit.

Naomie Harris in Michael Kors

Slinky as hell.

Daisy Ridley in Mary Katrantzou

Yeah, the pattern is aggressive, but I admire her a lot for picking this for her first major press tour for her first major movie. It's gutsy, and it's cheery, and points for that AND for not doing a dull shoe.

Judy Greer in Sachin & Babi

She's a treasure, and so is this.

Kate Mara in Valentino

Maybe it's because I have kids that are into the planets right now, but I found this print charming, and perfectly executed in a shorter dress rather than a big ol' gown.

Kiernan Shipka in Bottega Veneta

I think this is my favorite of the things she tried this year that remind us she's growing up.

Laura Dern in Matthew Williamson

I could've picked out just about everything she wore this year, honestly. This stands out for being a great mix of two colors I love that people don't wear enough.

Lea Seydoux in Miu Miu

The most graceful thing to come from Miuccia's shop in a long time.

Lizzy Caplan in Mary Katrantzou

Paisley! AT LAST.

Natalie Dormer

It's amazing to me that a pattern that resembles tire tracks can look so cool on a body.

Nina Dobrev in Versace

Donatella does better when she remembers that -- when it comes to sexy -- less is more.

Rachel Weisz in Marc Jacobs

It was fun to see that skirt on the red carpet, and on such a freaking great model.

Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung

She was freshly postpartum here, I think, and she looks great. That dress might be the most flattering thing Prabal has ever done for her.

Sarah Paulson in Prabal Gurung

This was custom, and fit her similarly ideally -- as a custom gown SHOULD. It was the jewel in the crown of her much-improved fashion year.

Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford

I loved this Tom Ford, which MIIIIGHT be baby blue and not white? Either way, I thought Reese looked stunning in it.

Sandra Bullock in Rupert Sanderson

Yeah, the Roksanda dress is cute, but the SHOES. They win the day.

Taraji P. Henson in Alexander Wang

Okay, it's a little sheer down there, but she's rocking it. It was a great year for Taraji, and I thought this dress -- for the Emmys where she was nominated for Empire -- mixed toughness and glam in the best way.

Viola Davis in Carmen Marc Valvo

And Viola was totally triumphant here on several levels.

Rachel Weisz in Oscar de la Renta

It needs to be hoiked, big time, but it's still really dreamy -- notably so given the less-than-ideal runway shows under the reign of OdlR's successor Peter Copping.

Wino Forever in Oscar de la Renta

Way to creep back onto the scene, Wino. This is beautiful.

Amal Alamuddin in Maison Margiela

She mostly wore black on the red carpet until this point. I found this utterly great on her.

Anna Kendrick in Thakoon

Another one that fits the way custom dresses should. It's wonderful with her coloring, too.

Anne Hathaway in Ralph Lauren

This was a Jedi delight at the Met Gala. Way to bring the unexpected drama, Annie.

Bee Shaffer

Anna looks insane, but Bee may have beaten all the boldface names at their own game.

Carey Mulligan in Dolce & Gabbana

Gorgeous scroll work.

Claire Danes in Marc Jacobs

This was a lot more unusual than she's done lately, which is why I appreciate it so much.

Daisy Ridley in Chloe

A dreamy nod to Leia.

Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent

She almost exclusively does black or white these days, so the red Saint Laurent with that nifty metallic strap was a welcome assortment that there's life in her.

Danielle Brooks in Christian Siriano

TWIRL. YES.

Diane Kruger in Oscar de la Renta

There was a LOT I could have picked from her archive. This was basically me throwing a dart.

Felicity Jones in Dior

AMAZING color. And the gown is better than anything they've given Jennifer Lawrence for her red carpets.

Ellie Kemper in Naeem Khan

So, so glorious.

Elisabeth Moss in Oscar de la Renta

Ditto. And the grassy backdrop is even more perfect with all those flowers.

Anna Kendrick

Yes, please.

Aubrey Plaza in Alexandre Vaulthier

So sleek and sexy.

Miranda Kerr in Peter Pilotto

I loved this outfit... had she been wearing it in June, an not November.

Kate Hudson

I am a sucker for gold sparkly things.

Jaime King

She's worn some bananas shit this year, which is why I'm happy I liked this so much.

Vanessa Hudgens in Naeem Khan

Aw. Our girl is all grown up.

The US Women's Soccer Team

WOOHOOOOOOO.

Cate Blanchett in Giles

It doesn't even matter what this looks like from the front.

Nina Dobrev

The dress is a fabulous color, but what really put her over the edge here were the shoes...

Nina Dobrev

... which YES. And what a good way to finish, no? We started with lips and we're ending with feet. No need for the twain to meet.

Well Played 2015: The (Rest of the) Best Celebrity Fashion of the Year

These are the lovely outfits of the year that we didn't already cover for our Cosmo wrap-up. (If you feel like something is missing, it's probably in that post; pop over there and take a look!) As you can see, we had much to discuss this year, and it was real tough to whittle down the list. And I will be honest: I don't like the McQueen that Rachel Weisz wearing. This photo is SOLELY in here because of the way he's grabbing her face. I MEAN. Talk about kissing 2015 goodbye.
