KANYE, OPRAH, LEEZY AMONG VANITY FAIR’S ‘BEST-DRESSED’: Trio joins Stefani, Selma Blair, Sofia Coppola and Renee Zellweger.
*Vanity Fair magazine’s 67th annual Best Dressed list, appearing in the September issue (on newsstands Aug. 8), includes first timer Kanye West, as well as TV mogul Oprah Winfrey and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
West was chosen for his "fresh," "poetic" and "cutting-edge" style, and for being “outspoken, not only in his beliefs, but also in his style,” noted Amy Fine Collins, social correspondent for Vanity Fair. "I love what he does with color. He loves pale pastels and nice sugary colors. He has a beautiful way with language, but also with appearance.
“There's no one else that's doing what he's doing,” she continued. “He goes far in new directions and is very watched, imitated and admired. He feels good about himself and it shows. Kanye is a college boy. [Obviously, she hasn’t seen the title of his first album.] He knows about the Lacoste preppy collegiate look, but he's not going to leave it at that. Instead, he takes elements of that and almost makes inside jokes on it. He never looks like a slob, even if he's in jeans."
Rice, meanwhile, was chosen "for her immaculately groomed and formidably dignified but with an audacious renegade streak fashion sense, not to mention her black knee-high dominatrix boots."
Others making Vanity Fair’s best-dressed list this year include Gwen Stefani, Selma Blair, Sofia Coppola, Renee Zellweger, David Beckham, George Clooney, Anderson Cooper, gossip columnist Richard Johnson, Count Manfredi Della Gherardesca, Charlotte Casiraghi (daughter of Monaco's Princess Caroline) and Prince Ernst August of Hanover (Princess Caroline's husband).
The magazine also inducted Queen Rania of Jordan and model Kate Moss into its fashion hall of fame, reserved for those who have graced the best-dressed list at least four times. They join hall of fame members Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Tina Turner, Bianca Jagger, Iman, Sophia Lauren and Queen Noor of Jordan, along with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, David Bowie, Fred Astaire and Bryan Ferry.
