PEOPLE'S 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2008

News and pic from peoplestylewatch

1. KATE HUDSON
Hudson is already known for her haute hippie taste, but in 2008, she added a new touch of polished elegance to her looks – like her flowing Balmain gown and chic Valentino leather coat.


2. RIHANNA

As if her much-copied hair wasn't enough to earn her a spot on this list, Rihanna hit all the right notes in her sophisticated mix of glamorous gowns, like her yellow Giambattista Valli, and funky dresses, including this feathered Zac Posen.


3. GWYNETH PALTROW
The Oscar winner proved better than ever, revving up her classic look and taking off length from her famously long locks – and her hemlines! Paltrow showcased her flawless legs in her Preen minidress and, in her Lanvin toga, put the attention on her trendsetting bob.


4. FERGIE
A long way from her belly-baring days, a refined Fergie emerged as a confident and cool dresser this year. From chic shorts on the street to classic Calvin Klein at the Grammys, there is no doubt that this singer is totally "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S."



5. ANNE HATHAWAY
She may have endured a rocky year in her personal life, but you'd never know it from how fabulous Hathaway looked on the red carpet. From glittering Roberto Cavalli in N.Y.C. to sexy draped Marchesa in Madrid, the actress certainly got smart about her wardrobe choices.


6. HEIDI KLUM
There's no auf Wiedersehen in sight for this hard-working supermodel. Klum wins us over every week with Project Runway but works the red carpet in designs from luxe designers like Roland Mouret and John Galliano.



7. SARAH JESSICA PARKER
She may have topped the box office as Carrie Bradshaw, but the New Yorker dazzled fans with her own unique sense of style. She wowed at a Sex and the City premiere in Versace and created her own style mix with Marni and Rag & Bone in N.Y.C.




8. MICHELLE OBAMA
Politics may be tougher than ever, but Obama has wowed along the campaign trail with confidence, in polished looks that bring to mind a famous former first lady. Sticking mainly to favorite hometown designers like Maria Pinto, who crafted her sleek purple sheath, Obama has also tried new looks by Isabel Toledo and jeweler Tom Binns for campaign fund-raisers.



9. EVA MENDES
Mendes got pulses racing with her sexy Calvin Klein ads, but her looks on the red carpet were perfectly feminine and sweet – like these Dolce & Gabbana frocks.


10. CHARLIZE THERON
As if her acting choices weren't daring enough, the Oscar winner never missed an opportunity to turn up the drama on the red carpet. Whether wearing these feminine Dior frocks or trying a bold Balenciaga, Theron commanded attention wherever she went.

The 20 Richest Women In Entertainment

Lea Goldman and Kiri Blakeley 01.18.07, 6:00 AM ET
These days, just about any lip-smacking starlet can land a cable reality show or become YouTube's flavor of the week. But fame's 15 fleeting minutes can elapse quicker than it takes to refresh a Web page. Only a bona fide superstar can parlay a moment's stardom into a long and lucrative career. And even that's not enough to land a coveted spot on our first-ever listing of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment. For that, you'd need a minimum net worth of $45 million.


To compile the list, we scoured the music, television, film and publishing industries to determine which female celebrities have, over the course of their careers, amassed the greatest fortunes in entertainment. We ruled out non-working celebs who essentially live off royalties (Barbra Streisand, for example), and we also excluded "old Hollywood" types like Elizabeth Taylor. The list is entirely confined to today's active megastars.

Of course, the celebrities with the longest careers proved the most daunting to evaluate. Since beginning her career in the early 1980s, Madonna has sold some 200 million albums worldwide and starred in a string of largely disappointing films. She owns an impressive portfolio of properties and briefly ran her own record label, Maverick, a part of Warner Music Group. Our estimate of her net worth--$325 million--is definitely on the conservative side.
Indeed, most of the women on our list cull their earnings from multimedia enterprises. Jennifer Lopez, for example, boasts valuable perfume and fashion lines in addition to her film and music careers; Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling now enjoys millions of dollars in royalties and merchandising revenues from the incredibly successful film adaptations of her books; and supermodel Gisele Bundchen, a fixture of Victoria's Secret catalogs, earned her $70 million fortune not just from modeling, but also from a line of successful sandals sold in Brazil.

The youngest women on the list? Twenty-year-old twins and former child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who have converted their supporting roles on a middling 1980s sitcom into a multimillion dollar retail empire called Dualstar Entertainment. The twins are often credited in the media as presiding over a fortune of as much as $1 billion. Not so. Despite Dualstar's retail sales of $1 billion, the waifish mini-moguls don't pocket all of it. We estimate their combined net worth at around $100 million.
Britney Spears, 25, also makes the list, despite a relatively brief career that took off only in 1999 with the release of her hit single "...Baby One More Time." Her $100 million fortune was earned largely from music--she has sold over 75 million albums to date--but she has supplemented her income with a profitable line of perfumes and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals.
The richest actress on the list is Julia Roberts, who built her estimated $140 million fortune film by film. The Pretty Woman star was the first actress in Hollywood to command a $20 million-per-film paycheck, a fairly common salary for male superstars like Will Smith and Johnny Depp. Other actresses who make the list largely due to their film fees are Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz. Sandra Bullock, who checks in at No. 14 on the list, supplemented movie earnings by producing the ABC sitcom The George Lopez Show, which went into syndication last year.
Martha Stewart is the only woman on the list whose net worth fluctuates just about every second. Her nearly $650 million fortune is based almost entirely on the 28 million shares she owns in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (nyse: MSO - news - people ). (In 2005, that stake was worth $1 billion.) Though her brief stint in prison forced her to relinquish the chief executive title, she still collects upwards of $2 million a year in salary and bonuses from the firm.
Forbes' list of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment is the subject of a one-hour special slated to air on the E! Entertainment Channel on Jan. 20. Check your local listings.

Methodology: Net worth estimates were arrived at by tallying the total earnings, including salaries, record sales, tours, merchandising and royalties over the course of a career. When relevant, we included real estate holdings, shares and other assets. A conservative rate of return was applied, less taxes and agent fees. The list is limited to those female celebrities active in their professional lives.
