"I feel like I&amp;#x27;ve been in training for 12 months for this very moment, my dears. Every snarky wardrobe dis and starstruck second of celebrity stylist worship I&amp;#x27;ve issued have boiled down to this...my definitive list of the 10 most memorable red carpet moments of 2009. What would an end-of-the-year fashion wrap up be without our favorite shining red carpet star (and January cover girl!) Sarah Jessica Parker? Her mint green Christian Dior* ball gown was part superhero, part fairy princess, all SJP. There was no shortage of Blake Lively&amp;#x27;s skin on display in 2009, as we discovered the other day--but this red Versace dress from the Emmy Awards is the one that really took our breath away. Technically it&amp;#x27;s not a red carpet, but still--this photo of Sienna Miller wearing head-to-toe Loewe on a G.I. Joe photo call stayed imprinted in my mind all year long. I also love that she got majorly splashed by standing next to the Thames and doesn&amp;#x27;t look perfect. This, however, is a red carpet. And your first lady worked that thing in a way that would make Cate Blanchett blush at the first official White House state dinner back in November. Her custom-made Naeem Khan gown was by far one of my favorites of the year. One minute, Dakota Fanning was a tiny tween with a precocious acting ability; the next, she was a stunning young woman wearing Valentino. Let the record state that the long career of red carpet hits she&amp;#x27;s definitely going to have started at the Twilight New Moon premiere.

We saw her hanging from the ceiling covered in fake blood, wearing a skirt made for (or from?!) a Muppet, using a bird&amp;#x27;s nest as a necklace, and, maybe most memorably, inspiring the world to leave their pants at home. But I think this velvet bra and undies set complete with a lace face mask took the cake for wildest Gaga ensemble, don&amp;#x27;t you? It&amp;#x27;s not easy standing out among the world&amp;#x27;s most glamorous women at the Met Gala (AKA, the Party of the Year), yet Jessica Biel managed to make me forget everyone else on the red carpet. Score one more point for red Versace! Samantha Jones and Miley Cyrus in the same dress? Whether you love or hate this Matthew Williamson sequined number, you&amp;#x27;ve gotta admit, it&amp;#x27;s a memorable red carpet moment. And it made us completely psyched to see SATC2! This is another of my absolute favorites of 2009--the ageless Iman at the American Ballet Theater&amp;#x27;s fall gala. The Donna Karan dress, the flawless smile, the glowing skin, the ability to make the gym suddenly sound so much more enticing to me... It was close to impossible to choose just one &amp;quot;most&amp;quot; memorable red carpet moment for Rihanna in 2009--we saw her in patriotic pasties, studded sunglasses, and Gareth Pugh looks we never thought would step foot off a runway--so I had to go with this dangerous gold dress from The Blonds that sums up the best of all of the 2009 trends she helped set. And there you have it, ladies...my picks for the most memorable red carpet moments of 2009. Are you with me on these? What would you add to this list? Anything you would take away?
