Best Dressed, Glamour Awards '09, the unofficial list

 

Glamour Editor Jo Elvin @ Rex

The style bar was set high by Glamour's Editor, Jo Elvin. Opting for an exquisite teal flapper dress with smouldering eyes and befittingly short hair, she got the unanimous vote for most chic and timely look - with all these Coco Chanel films due out soon '20s style eveningwear is set a major comeback. 

  

                                                             Model Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely @ Rex

Love this gal! Whether it's a flowing Grecian gown or in this instance, a thigh-grazing couture-rock number, Rosie always gets it right. Here, she pulls it off thanks to the fact she has kept accessories minimal in light of a heavily embellished dress and chosen some fierce toe-out ankle boots over spindly heels - by far the cooler and younger choice. 

Michelle Ryan @ Rex Features

Eastenders actress turned Bionic woman, Michelle Ryan, caught our attention in her floor-sweeping fuchsia dress. Not only did she nail one of summer's hottest colour trends, but she successfully avoided the trap of wearing too much makeup - hot colour looks best with a barely-there face.

   

                                                                                    Katy Perry @ Rex

Katy Perry was as lush as a maraschino cherry in her turquoise petal prom and pop art lips clutch. She might not be everyone's cherry chapstick (yes, Beth Ditto we are talking about you), but you have to admit she's in a league of her own when it comes to perfectly polished kitsch.
