Top 10: The Week's Best-Dressed, 10-26-2012

These celebs scorched the red carpet in these red hot looks. Check out which diva landed the #1 spot.

By Celia L. Smith · October 25, 2012October 28, 2020
01
#10: Lianne La Havas

Where: The Q Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England.

Why: La Havas is coming into a style of her own. The budding Brit singer slowly ditches the boho look for one that is still care-free, but with a touch of femininity. Get the look!

#9: Brandy

Where: Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live in New York City.

Why: In this midriff-baring top and flared skirt with Sergio Rossi lace cut-out booties, Brandy is putting it down! Get the look!

#8: Kerry Washington

Where: The 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

Why: We can always count on Kerry to keep it sweet and simple. The actress does just that at the Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala in a Monique Lhuillier splatter paint print gown and bow-front pumps. Get the look!

#7: Michelle Obama

Where: Broward College in Davie, Florida.

Why: Our jaws dropped when we saw Mrs. O in this modest floral print frock by Jones New York which we recently spotted on the racks at Macy’s. Accessible and chic — now that’s a winning combo. Get the look!

#6: Kenya Moore

Where: The Los Angeles premiere of Flight at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.

Why: It’s all about the color and sexy curve-hugging shape of this cocktail dress. The shift is classic chic but her accessories — Louboutin platforms and a leopard clutch — give it edge. Get the look!

#5: Halle Berry

HED: The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in Burbank, California.

DEK: There’s something wild about this look and we love it. From the Amazonian draped, one-shoulder design to the crystal studded pumps, Halle is looking haute! Get the look!

#4: Chanel Iman

Where: The Flawsome Ball For The Tyra Banks TZONE at Capitale in New York City.

Why: The model brings fabulousness from the catwalk to the carpet, working a runway-worthy light pink snakeskin print halter gown with stitching details. Get the look!

#3: Solange Knowles

Where: The Angel Ball 2012 hosted by Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

Why: Solange switches it up for a sleeker feel, sporting a Badgley Mischka beaded jersey gown with a plunging neckline and an Edie Parker clutch. This minimal chic moment is so grown up for Solo and we love it! Get the look!

#2: Naomi Campbell

Where: The world premiere of Skyfall at Royal Albert Hall in London.

Why: It takes a strong personality to wear a suit this bold, and the supermodel’s got it! The diva commanded all eyes on her when she stepped on the carpet in a double breasted, wide-leg suit with contrast colored lapels and the hottest arm candy —  her gorgeous beaux. Get the look!

#1: Naomie Harris

Where: The world premiere of Skyfall at Royal Albert Hall in London.

Why: Harris’ Chanel Spring 2013 runway dress is heavenly! The white textured knit and voluminous sleeves appear almost angel-like, while the flirty hemline and fierce Pierre Hardy python pumps are a walk on the wild side. Get the look!
