2010 celeb style retrospective

I think everyone is looking forward to starting afresh in 2011. But it's that time of the year again to look back at some style favorites. Here were my favorites from 2009.

Who did you feel this year?

I loved Sandra Bullock in late Alexander McQueen (such a sad loss this year). I appreciate that she took a little bit of a risk, it fits her beautifully and I love the blue detailing on it.

Michelle Williams always gets it right.

Thandie Newton. So pretty.

C.S.!

Alexa Alexa.

Keira Knightley.

Gaga: VMA Red Carpet. The meat dress was most memorable but it grossed me out a bit. i loved this McQueen gown.

Anything Carey Mulligan wore, I adored.

shoutouts

My friend Noah Michelson's revealing interview with Perez Hilton on Out.

It lost this year's Booker prize but I really loved Damon Galgut's In A Strange Room. The book is finally out in the US through Europa editions. Check out reviews here. And here. Interview in The Paris Review, where portions of the novel originally appeared.

I'm currently enjoying the short story collection Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self. Read about the author Danielle Evans here.

Word is that the Obama administration will appeal historic DADT ruling. I don't really understand Obama's master plan with all of this. Read Aaron Belkin's impassioned plea for letting DADT die.

Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan premiere Never Let Me Go in London. Can their outfits be any cooler?
