KELLY ROWLAND: BEST-DRESSED 02

At the beginning of 2007, Kelly Rowland was seen front row during New York City Fashion Week...most likely grabbing ideas on how to upgrade her girl-next-door look.

When time came to arrive on the red carpet, Kelly Rowland favor designs from Prada, Armani, Herve Leger, House of Dereon, Dolce and Gabbana, Just Cavalli, Burberry Prosrum, BCBG Max Azria, and Roberto Cavalli.

Aside from all these fab designer clothes she got to wear, Kelly however couldn't let go of her Hermes belt.

TRENDS IN 2007

Keri Russell, Mary J Blige and Victoria Beckham are just some of the fashion-forward ladies who couldn't resist a basic black and white stripe turtleneck in 2007.

Another trend in 2007 was a classic red strapless gown as worn by Miley Cyrus, Shakira, and Katie Holmes.

Rashida Jones, Tyra Banks, and Ashanti are very much into the bow trend.

Charlize Theron, Paula Patton, and Sienna Miller bought back the flapper look in 2007.

Dita Von Teese recently wore this black satin Elie Saab number to the 4th Annual Dubai International Film Festival.

Solange Knowles supported older sister's Beyonce at People magazine Post GRAMMY Party in this frilly cocktail dress from Elie Saab Fall 2006 couture collection.

Style Verdict: Solange offset her black Elie Saab couture dress with beige Christian Louboutin heels while Dita completed her look with black pointy-toe pumps. Both ladies look utterly wonderful in that Elie Saab couture number but I think Solange wears the look better.

RIHANNA: BEST-DRESSED IN '07

Shall we thank the success behind her hit, "Umbrella" for Rihanna's sudden change in fashion?

In the past Rihanna favored sequins and a longer hair style but now she's a "Good Girl Gone Bad" but maybe that should be reworded to "Good Girl Gone Couture".

2007 has Rihanna in Herve Leger, Luella, Gucci, Catherine Maladrino, Dolce and Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, and Dsquared 2 .

Rihanna even walked down the runway for the first time for DSquared 2 Milian fashion show.

The public has taken noticed of Rihanna's style change as she's been on cover of "Allure", "Cosmogirl", and "Seventeen" magazine.

This accomplishment is not too bad for a "covergirl" that had us all under her "umbrella".

Rihanna is Obsessed-Hoopla's 4th best-dressed fashionista of 2007.

BEST DRESSED TV FASHIONISTAS

Tracee Ellis Ross from "Girlfriends", Tia Mowry of "The Game" and Katherine Heigl of "Grey's Anatomy" wins my vote for best-dressed TV fashionistas.

TRACEE ELLIS ROSS

Tracee Ellis Ross has admitted to wearing her famous mother's (Diana Ross) clothing out on the red carpet as evident in the first picture on your left in the photo montage.

I love how she maintains her electic sense of style - who knew that Tracee's puffy-sleeved pink Thakoon dress will inspired a style trend on the red carpet?

Hopefully 2008 will see Tracee on the cover of a fashion magazine just like she was featured on Vibe Vixen not too long ago.

TIA MOWRY

In the past year, Tia Mowry's style has changed for the better especially after she attended L.A Fashion week.

Tia is a huge fan of Bebe and Baby Phat as she seen rocking pieces from the wallet-friendly boutique three times out on the red carpet.

2008 will be fun to watch what Tia wears.

KATHERINE HEIGL

Katherine Heigl, who I've been a favorite of since her role in "My Father, My Hero", and her style is always fun to watch from her picks in Kevan Hall to Zac Posen to her love for Valentino pinstruck handbag.

Can you tell red is her favorite color? If she's not wearing a red accessory, she has on red lipstick. Katherine simply can't part from her beloved Valentino bag.

Katherine's best look to me was her black ruffled Anna Sui frock she wore to the GM Ten event earlier this year.

BEST AND WORST IN HAIR

In 2007, singers Nelly Furtado and Rihanna have the most visible hair style changes.

Worst Hair Change: Nelly Furtado

When Nelly Furtado stepped out flaunting her platinum blonde tresses at a pre-VMAs Award show, reactions heard across blogs and fan sites was YIKES! Then again, her new hair color suits the pop sound she created on her Grammy-nominated record, "Loose". I'm just glad Nelly soften the blonde dye as you can see in the photos above. Platinum blonde doesn't enchance her complexion but the honey blonde dye does.


Best Hair Change: Rihanna

To complete this short list, we have Rihanna who step away from the long weave style she adopted for her debut and sophomore records to the most-copied asymmetrical hairstyle in 2007.

Rihanna on her short 'do: "It's very edgy. It's a lot different from how you've seen me before. The short hair, the attitude is very B-girlish. I have a lot of attitude now and I'm not afraid to let it out anymore." [contactmusic.com]

Hilary Swank and Kelly Rowland in Giambattista Valli: who got the LOOK right?

Opinion Polls & Market Research

Style Verdict: Hilary had to fix a last-minute fashion emergency in her Giambattista Valli dress. "The hem was falling out so I uh from my trailer park days I know how to put an outfit together so I was like desperate. I just got a bunch of tape and started taping my dress hemming my dress with some tape." Although this was worn back in 2006, this look resembles the toga fever that heat up the red carpet in 2007.
