50 Best Dressed Women 2013 First 5 of 50

1.Kirsten Stewart

And she does it again. Go-to gown? Not this girl. Red-carpet dressing means everything from leather trews to shorts and all-in-one lace jumpsuits for the ever-cool K-Stew. Whether in Zuhair Murad or Balenciaga, every looks comes complete with a nod to her personal rock-chick style. What a year!

2. Emma Watson

Um, can we just have her minidress collection? The cute grown-out crop, the popping age-appropriate event wardrobe, and some seriously must-have staples (great bag, leather jacket), mean you really heart her closet.

 3. Kate Middleton

She may not like to mix it up like other ladies on our list, but Kate is a girl who knows what works for her – opting to experiment with bold colour rather than elaborate cuts, shapes, fabric and styles. She gets extra props for taking maternity chic in her nude-pump-adorned stride.

4. Emma Stone

 If there was one celebrity we could swap wardrobes with in a heartbeat, it would be GLAMOUR cover girl, Emma. Fashion-forward without ever letting the designs wear her, you don’t get to be named Vogue's best dressed woman without having the style chops to back it up.

5. Taylor Swift

In the past 12 months, Taylor has seen her global chart success and her sense of style blossom at the same accelerated rate. Whether in a cute tea dress, a show-stopping red-carpet number or just something she threw on to grab coffee, she always looks adorably put together.

Trend alert: Spaghetti strap dresses

Zac Posen autumn/winter 2013 collection Photo: Sean Cunningham

As well as dictating bare legs as an evening trend du jour, the cruel mistress of fashion has prescribed the spaghetti strap as the second tricky trend of the season.

Related articles Trending: Spaghetti strap dressesThe Trendy 20: Christmas party dressesOutfit Builder: Christmas party wearTrend alert: Fur stolesTrend alert: Feathers

Stunning on model clothes horses with lithe frames and moderately flat chests, the spaghetti strap dress is somewhat taxing on a mere mortal. Why, may you ask?

1. Spaghetti straps are so skinny that a standard bra cannot be worn under the dress.

2. The clingy material of a negligee style dress does not allow for even a strapless bra. To keep in tone with the body contouring look, it means going au naturel.

SEE: Spaghetti strap dresses on and off the catwalk

3. As your entire shoulder area and arms are on display, it is imperative you achieve a healthy winter tan before wearing a strappy gown. If your bronzed glow is uneven it will be incredibly obvious.

4. The silk or satin finish on many of the current spaghetti strap dresses means nylon tights will cling to the material. Sorry ladies, it's bare legs all the way.

SHOP: Spaghetti strap dresses

While you might scoff away the spaghetti strap after this list of negatives, think of the final picture. When executed well a barely-there strappy gown is at once wholly romantic, a little bit sassy and highly seductive.

Those sitting on the fence should look to Marc Jacobs for encouragement. Not only did the Louis Vuitton autumn/winter 2013 collection present entry-level spaghetti strap dresses for those unwilling to embrace silky negligees (the one Victoria Beckham wore to Wimbledon this summer), the designer paired the more seductive, floor-length numbers with oversized mannish coats.

We'll be copying Uncle Marc and throwing coats over our strappy numbers until we've perfected our winter tans.

Dice Kayek: Architects of Style

Ece and Ayse Ege, the two Turkish sisters behind Dice Kayek Photo: DICE KAYEK

Architecture and clothes - one way or another, they're both dressing the human body, the former on a grand scale, the latter far more intimately.

Related articles Preview to the V&A's Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibitionNot all white: wedding dresses at the V&A

Even so, it's a brave designer who bases a line of clothes around famous national landmarks. But Ece (pronounced Eecchay) and Ayse (Eyesha) Ege (Edgay), the two Turkish sisters behind Dice (Deechay) Kayek, have done just that with their Istanbul Contrast Collection. The results are spectacular, not least because they couldn't be further from those half-hearted attempts to incorporate some decorative drawings of buildings into dress fabrics that some labels pass off as "architectural".

Preview to the V&A's Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition

On the contrary, this is a full-blown deployment of some of Turkey's most stunning structures. There's the ravishing white organdy cocktail dress composed of diagonal folds that replicates Istanbul's famous Blue Mosque, for instance, and the weighs-a-ton, but exquisite, angel-winged evening coat, hand embroidered with antique blown glass beads and clearly inspired by Istanbul's Hagia Sophia Mosque.

Impressive, they're probably not primarily intended for wearing, since they're part of the sisters' victorious submission for the Jameel Prize, an international award presented bi-annually to an artist or designer inspired by Islamic tradition.

This year's judging panel includes Zaha Hadid, Thomas Heatherwick (designer of the new Routemaster bus and the Olympic cauldron) and Martin Roth, director of the V&A. The Ege sisters, who were named as winners last night, are the first fashion designers ever to be nominated.

In some ways this is a natural evolution for them. When I visited their labyrinthine studio in Paris in October, I saw at first hand how sculptural the clothes for their Dice Kayek label are - full of sumptuous A-line silhouettes in beautiful duchesse satins and silks. Matchka, a less expensive label they design and sell only in Turkey, is more of an everyday collection, with floaty, fluid pieces in lovely fabrics. I wish it were sold here.

Beauty Lab: Winter bronzers

Bronzers add a healthy glow at this time of year, but you should go no more than two shades darker than your complexion. For a natural application, make-up artist Laura Mercier says: "Brush the tops of the cheekbones, the tip of your chin, the bridge of your nose, plus your forehead, temples and hair line."

Having it all: proud mother Gisele Bundchen breastfeeds in hair and make-up session

Photo: Instagram/ giseleofficial

She famously remarked that there should be a worldwide law enforcing all mothers to breastfeed for six months.

And it would appear that Gisele Bündchen is practicing what she preaches (and more) as she shared a photo of herself on Instagram breastfeeding her daughter Vivian, who turned one earlier this week.

33-year-old Bündchen, who is married to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, uploaded a photo of herself not only feeding her little one, but being attended to by a manicurist and a hair stylist.

READ: Gisele Bundchen is abs-olutely fabulous at Sao Paolo Fashion Week

She captioned the picture: "What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours of sleep #multitasking #gettingready". Aah, if only us civilians looked like that after three hours sleep.

While many new mothers daren't breastfeed in a public café - never mind at their place of work - the world's highest-earning model needn't worry about the stigmas attached to the natural act.

READ: Gisele Bundchen tops highest-paid models list for seventh consecutive year

Back in her native Brazil to promote an Oral B event in Sao Paolo, the mother-of-two eventually surfaced on the blue carpet flashing her never-ending legs and signature tousled waves which have earned her a fortune.

But even those who appear to have it all get it a bit wrong; is it just us, or could Gisele have thought she was making an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing in that silver leotard with beaded skirt get-up?
