Top 10: The Week's Best-Dressed, 1/27/2012
By · January 25, 2012October 28, 2020
01
#10: Grace Jones

Where: Etam Spring / Summer 2012 fashion show performance in Paris, France.
 
Why: Grace Jones epitomizes fierce at 60+. The body suit, tuxedo blazer and platforms are a bold move, and we love it. Get the blazer!

02
#9: Chaka Khan

Where: Etam Spring / Summer 2012 fashion show performance in Paris, France.
 
Why: Chaka exudes sexy elegance in a curve-hugging beaded black dress and her usual wild mane. Get the dress!

03
#8: Estelle

Where: T-Mobile Presents Google Music At TAO.
 
Why: A jumper is the quickest way to look stylish, and Estelle looks the part in a leather halter one, topped with a floor-length cardigan and Charlotte Olympia platforms. Get the jumpsuit!

04
#7: Rashida Jones

Where: The ‘Celeste and Jesse Forever’ dinner held at Acura Studio in Park City, Utah.
 
Why: Black is back, and Rashida wears a staple black blazer, and by adding a textured Theysken’s Theory dress she breaks up the monotony of color. Get the dress!

05
#6: Rachel Roy

Where: The premiere of ‘W.E.’ held at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.
 
Why: Rachel masters effortless chic in her own designs — a romantic sheer blouse, classic trousers, and killer Valentino studded kitten heels. Get the heels!

06
#5: Mary J. Blige

Where: Backstage after Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” show in New York.
 
Why: Mary is smokin’ in this Andrew GN body hugging black dress, and Giuseppe Zanotti platforms. She serves up just the right amount of sexy in this look.

Get the shoes!
07
#4: Alicia Keys

Where: The 23rd Annual Producers Guild Awards at The Beverly Hilton hotel.
 
Why: This Dolce & Gabbana set — a satin lapel tuxedo blazer over a lace dress is a winning look — pretty, polished and classic for Ms. Keys. Get the lace dress!

08
#3: Michelle Obama

Where: The State of the Union Address, Capitol Hill Washington, DC.
 
Why: FLOTUS most certainly lived up to her chicness in this silk twill cap sleeve sheath dress by Barbara Tfank accessorized with a brooch by Alexis Bittar. The color and fit was pure perfection. Get the Look!

09
#2: Jessica White

Where: The Weinstein Company with The Cinema Society & Forevermark premiere of ‘W.E.’ at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.
 
Why: We just can’t seem to get enough of the color blue. This cobalt shade makes this simple 70s style wrap dress come to life. Get the look!

10
#1: Solange Knowles

Where: The Tiffany celebration of the launch of ‘True Love in Pictures’ at Tiffany & Co. in New York City.
 
Why: Solange takes the shine this week wearing the best brights. Knowles DJ’ed in a pastel yellow Christopher Kane pleated dress, CC Skye clutch and Fendi satin colorblock sandals that wowed us. Get the clutch!
