Mischa Barton
This year Mischa has walked away from \'The O.C\' to become a star in her own right. We\'re not sure if she\'s actually done any work since then, but she\'s been seen everywhere from the Serpentine Gallery summer party right here in London to New York fashion week sporting a wardrobe that makes us go a deeper shade of green with envy every time we spot her

Kylie
The pop princess was back in the public eye this year, and, as far as we can tell, celebrated being back to her old self with a series of mammoth shopping trips. She\'s been seen in Marc Jacobs and Chanel, graced the front row of D&G and guest-edited American \'Vogue\'. A veritable style icon if ever we saw one
Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett
We love Cate because she always manages to look elegant and sophisticated while forging her own individual style. In 2006 she embraced goth and metallics and, as far as we\'re concerned, she\'s never looked better
Cat Deeley

Cat Deeley
Cat\'s come a long way since she was presenting \'SM:TV\' with Ant and Dec. She\'s become a star in the US, had the Hollywood make-over, and even been rumoured to be dating Leonardo di Caprio. Her defining moment of last year was dazzliing the world in this stunning Versace gown at the Emmys. The girl done good
Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet
If you\'ve seen the pictures of Kate in January\'s \'Vogue\' then you\'ll understand - airbrushing debates aside, she looks incredible. The perfect combination of English rose and film star glamour, she\'s mastered the art of dressing for herself rather than following trends and always manages to look both stylish and comfortable
Edie Sedgwick
Edie Sedgwick,celebrity style
Edie Sedgwick
No doubt helped by the fact that Sienna is playing her in the movie \'Factory Girl\', due out next year, Edie became the pin-up and inspiration for \'60s fashion. So if you\'re not a fan of mini-shifts, coloured tights and platform wedges, you know who to blame
Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan
Skimming over the wild-child reputation, you have to admit that, at just 20 years old, Lindsay has done pretty well to have already become such a fashion pin-up. This year her status was confirmed when she became Karl Lagerfeld\'s NBF and landed the job of the face of Miu Miu\'s Spring 2007 campiagn. We have a feeling there will be plenty more fashion credentials where they came from
Catherine Zeta Jones

Catherine Zeta Jones
We were full of admiration when CZJ appeared at the 2006 Glamour Woman of the Year Awards, showing off a newly slimmed (but still curvy in all the right places) figure in this fabulous sequined dress by Tory Burch. If she isn\'t proof that you don\'t have to be size 00 to be sexy then we don\'t know what is
Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams
Michelle makes our list simply by virtue of being the proud wearer of 2006\'s best Oscar\'s frock. In a beautiful yellow Vera Wang gown teamed with red lipstick she was the epitome of Hollywood glamour
Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie
She may not be the world\'s biggest eater but you have to admit, the girl\'s got style. Almost single-handedly responsible (with a little help from stylist Rachel Zoe of course) for the oversized sunglasses trend in 2006, Nicole really had boho glamour down pat. We look forward to seeing what she pulls out of the bag next year now that she\'s kicked Zoe to the kerb
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson,celebrity style
Scarlett Johansson
An ambassador for girls with curves (although, let\'s face it, she\'s not exactly size 16, is she?), she\'s a big fan of showing off her assets but, unlike others we could mention, always manages to look glam rather than slutty. She champions old-school Hollywood glamour, and who are we to take issue with that?
Sofia Coppola
fashion,icons,clothes,celebrity,2006,2007,hollywood,stars,sofia_coppola,actress,manolo_blahniks,marc_jacobs
Sofia Coppola
We could include Sofia just for giving us a film that included so many fabulous pairs of Manolo Blahniks, but she also manages to always look incredibly stylish too. A big fan of Marc Jacobs, her look is always understated and cool with quirky details thrown in for good measure
The anti-icons: Britney Spears
Britney Spears,celebrity style
Britney
We had high hopes for Britney when we heard that she had finally decided to get rid of K-Fed, but what has ensued has been worse than we could ever have imagined. We\'re all for a girl having a good time but we\'re never going to recover from seeing uncensored pictures of her knicker-free antics. We can only hope that she manages to pull it together in the rest of 2007
Courtney Love

Courtney Love
We\'ll never get bored of the soap opera that is Courtney\'s life, but we do wish she\'d get her fashion act together. She all too often looks as though she\'s just rolled out of bed, gathered a selection of random clothes from an upmarket jumble sale and headed out. And she really needs to keep her ample bosom under control - we\'re a bit bored of seeing her nipples
Fergie
Fergie,celebrity style
Fergie
When it comes to clothes, Fergie is a one-woman car crash. We\'re all for individual expression but her style frequently borders on fancy dress rather than fashion. We think she\'s aiming for a kind of Gwen Stefani look but just can\'t pull it off. We\'re thinking of having a whip-round and buying her a stylist
Girls Aloud
celebrity style,girls aloud
Girls Aloud
We don\'t object to their music too much (although the Tiffany cover may have been a step too far) but we\'d rather not have to look at them. How can a group of girls, who doubtles have access to a bevy of stylists at their fingertips, manage to look so dreadful so much of the time?
Victoria Beckham
David Beckham,Victoria Beckham,celebrity style
Victoria Beckham
Bless her, her heart\'s in the right place but she just wants it too badly and it shows. We cringed at the sight of her endless costume changes at New York Fashion week - no amount of designer clothes can hide that amount of desperation. Someone really needs to tell her to relax. Fashion was never supposed to be such hard work
Rachel Zoe

Rachel Zoe
We thought for a moment that she was going to succeed in taking over the world with skinny clones of herself, but her plans seem to have been thwarted. Granted, she was responsible for transforming the careers of some of the hottest up-coming A-listers, and for some of the biggest of last summer\'s trends, but to be honest she\'s a bit scary. And she perhaps could spend more time eating and less time on the sunbed
Kate Moss
Kate Moss,celebrity style
Kate Moss
A controversial choice we know. It\'s not that she\'s looked particularly dreadful in 2006, but that we expect Kate to be a trendsetter rather than a follower and, dare we say it, she seems to have got stuck in a fashion rut this year. Those hotpants may look good on her but we wish that she\'d move on swiftly to something a bit more wearable. Here\'s hoping she comes up with something a bit more imaginative and polished for 2007
