Alexa Chung has been named the most stylish woman of 2009.
The British television presenter, who moved to New York this year to work for MTV, topped Vogue magazine’s Best Dressed of 2009, with French actress Audrey Tautou coming in second.
Alexa is a well-known lover of British fashion labels, often wearing Burberry and Mulberry and previously modelling for Vivienne Westwood.
Commenting on their decision to crown Alexa best dressed, Vogue said: “She won over the US style pundits with her quirky style and kept us on side by staying true to the formula that won her our approval in the first place.”
Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker came third in the list, followed by X Factor judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue in fourth and fifth place.
Kate Moss came in the list at 10th, just ahead of Lady Gaga in 11th. Other notable inclusions include Michelle Obama, Anna Friel and Beth Ditto.

In Anne Fontaine’s admiring but not uncritical “Coco Before Chanel,” Audrey Tautou plays an iconic designer who was also a kind of philosopher.
She wanted to liberate women from their crushing corsets, peel away their suffocating veils and let them move freely. In the process, she designed an adventurous life for herself.
Although sumptuously produced, the film is a staid account of her early years. We meet Gabrielle Chanel as her father dumps her at an orphanage with hardly a backward glance. The nuns’ black habits make an impression on the aspiring seamstress but don’t influence her adolescent wardrobe choices. Performing a saloon cabaret act with her sister, “Coco” dresses in French can-can froufrou.
Fontaine films with a romantic eye and moments of inspiration. In a ballroom scene, women in stuffy formal attire swirl and part until Tautou is revealed dancing in an evening gown of elegant simplicity. At that moment you can appreciate how radical her vision was.
Tautou makes Chanel crafty, sometimes unsympathetic, but always restlessly intelligent. But the film glosses over her complex, sometimes unpleasant personality, and skips the heart of the story: her growth from a designer of hats to a visionary entrepreneur.
“Coco Before Chanel” is exquisite on the surface but barely peeks behind the seams.

The site is not abandoned, just having a few issues. I myself am taking a personal hiatus. There really hasn’t been much news on Audrey lately save for bits and pieces about her playing Coco and it’s only a name mention and hardly worth mentioning here on the site. Kari will update soon I’m sure if she pops up in the news and such.

As you can see we have a new layout and there will be a lot of changes coming soon to make this great site even better (if that’s possible)! Just to let you know some of the navigation doesn’t work yet, but like I said, the changes are on their way and we’ll keep you updated!
