Best Dressed: America's New 'IT' Color

Every click of a link, or flip of the magazine page we are bombarded with yet another, "BEST DRESSED" list and Vogue.com is no exception. Let's be real for .2 seconds; 'best dressed' has nothing to do with style and everything to do with status and fame.

Point in case, today on Vogue.com 'Best Dressed'; Lady Gaga ahead by 3000 votes, followed by Blake Lively (aka Gossip Girl) who's ahead by 600. Fashion darlings Alexa Chung and Liya Kebede are far more chic than say, M. Obama, yet trail way behind due to their lower celebrity ranking. 

Perhaps IMDB should get their star meter rankings from the best dressed lists? The only purpose for these seemingly useless polls is to allow readers to feel like their opinions matters. Listen, if your opinion actually mattered you'd be writing for the magazine, not reading it for tips on, 'How to Wear Red: Fall's IT Color'.

P.S. Fall 2010 is about the high-waisted, wide leg pant. Just saying.
