Amy Winehouse,celebrity style,celebrity pictures Amy Winehouse On her way to a recording studio in south London in January, Amy looked every inch the ska queen in this Two Tone combo. The black leather gloves and ladylike handbag finish off her rock chick wife in mourning look. She may be pining for her Blake, but that\'s no reason not to make an effort.

OK, so there\'s a lot of boob here but hey, they look in pretty good shape. Her nails are nicely manicured, her skirt is smart yet sexy and her accessories are spot on as usual. This is sex kitten extraordinaire -Amy could give a young Sofia Loren a run for her money.

This look is classic Amy Winehouse and abides by her three golden rules: hair must be big, skirts must be short and heels must be sky high - these are by her favourite cobbler Jonathan Kelsey.  Work it!

Although her hair leaves a little to be desired you can\'t fault her Sinha-Stanic dress and Jonathan Kelsey heels, showing that although she has lost touch with reality recently, she hasn\'t lost touch with the hottest British labels.

She stole the show at the Brit Awards that year arriving in this neon yellow dress by hot British fashion label Preen. (February 2007)

She looks like butter wouldn\'t melt in her mouth despite having been plastered all over the tabloids for weeks on end for all the wrong reasons. That ladies is the power of a great dress.

Amy Winehouse,celebrity style,celebrity pictures Amy Winehouse Sometimes less is more as this elegant little black number Amy wore to the MTV Movie Awards proves. What\'s not to like here? Even her Christian Louboutin heels are classic beyond belief. Give the girl a break!

Performing at The MTV Europe Music Awards November 2007, Amy looks like a Latino princess in this strapless denim dress with red scarf in her hair. This outfit is set off by her tattoos making her appear fierce, yet cute - not an easy combination to pull off!

Why We Heart Amy Winehouse, by Belinda White

Amy Winehouse,best dressed,celebrity fashion Amy Winehouse, Brits

What a year it’s been for Amy Winehouse. She’s had a rough old time battling an eating disorder and drug addiction alone, while new husband (My Blake) is incarcerated at Her Majesty’s pleasure, yet still managed to gain national hero status in February by winning a record-breaking five Grammy awards.

Love her or hate her, the tabloids just can’t seem to get enough of the daily soap-opera her life has become. And more often than not she’s only had herself to blame for any bad press she’s attracted.

But now it’s gone too far. Here at handbag.com we are still reeling from the news that Amy was voted Worst Dressed at the NME awards last week. Of all the crimes against fashion committed this year (Sarah Harding, KT Tunstall, all of the Spice Girls, anyone?), maybe this would have been one chance to leave Amy alone.

She’s had a few off days, most noticeably when she dyed her hair blonde, but through all the ups and downs of the last 12 months she’s managed to bust more killer looks than any other star on the planet we can think of. And even though at times it’s seemed like she’s losing her mind, she’s never lost her eye.

We love Amy because she takes risks with her wardrobe, maximises her assets and can do sexy like nobody’s business without ever looking tarty.

So come with us on a journey through Amy’s greatest hits and then try and tell us she’s not one of the biggest style icons since Madonna.
