Even in Hollywood—land of breast implants and botox—natural counts for something. So says People magazine, which voted Jennifer Aniston to the top of its list of best-dressed women of 2006.
The magazine’s annual best- and worst-dressed issue features numerous Hollywood stars all given a moniker to describe their taste in couture.
Oscar winner Halle Berry, dubbed “The Classic,” is No. 2 behind Aniston, and No. 3 was “The Newcomer” Jessica Alba, 25, star of movies like last summer’s hit “Fantastic Four.”
Editor Elizabeth Sporkin said Aniston, “The Natural,” has a fashion sense that’s very accessible,” she said. “She wears jeans and T-shirts and blazers. She dresses like a regular person, and her evening wear, if you were going to an event, you would think you could really dress like her.”
For the men, singer Justin Timberlake was named “Trendiest,” and English soccer star David Beckham looked best in “jacket and jeans.” George Clooney had the “best monochromatic” look.
“He’s the new Cary Grant,” Sporkin said of Clooney. “All these men are men who really care about how they look.”
Of course, there were the worst fashions of the year, too. But instead of a top 10 list, the magazine took issue with style. There was public pajama wearing by the likes of Paris Hilton and Teri Hatcher’s penchant for showing off her underwear. People devoted an entire page to Sharon Stone.
“These are well-dressed people who really messed up,” Sporkin said. “They had a bad day.”
