So, behold: my Best Dressed 2015. While last year's post showed that I'd moved away from monochrome and started to actually like a wide variety of fashion pieces, 2015 highlighted that I'm a fan sleek, sparkly gowns and colourful suits. I'm so predictable it hurts.

BEST DRESSED MAN: EDDIE REDMAYNE
Back on top for the second year running, Eddie Redmayne has once again spent 12 months proving that no other man can quite wear a suit like him. Whether it's a traditional tuxedo courtesy of Gucci, Alexander McQueen or Giorgio Armami or a tartan Valentino number, Redmayne looks incredible. He carries off even the boldest of patterns with ease and consistently looks immaculate. As he's already hitting the awards circuit hard for his turn as transgender artist Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl, we're going to be seeing a lot more of him over the next few months, and thank goodness for that. Red carpets just aren't as stylish without him.

BEST DRESSED WOMEN: AN ENGLISH ROSE, A GLADIATOR AND A PRINCESS
EMILY BLUNT
Oh, I love Emily Blunt. She never seems to put a sartorial foot wrong! While she may have a default pose in front of the cameras, when it comes to fashion she wears such a variety of styles, and experiments with so many beauty looks too, that it sometimes feels impossible to keep up. She's blessed with a figure that suits virtually everything, and as a result it's pretty much impossible for her to turn up to an event looking anything less than beautiful. Her Peter Pilotto dress at the Cannes Sicario photo call (below, middle) is one of my favourite outfits ever. When I grow up, I'd like to be just like Emily, please!

KERRY WASHINGTON
TV's favourite Gladiator works a pattern like no other. Kerry Washington is always a regular in my Best Dressed lists, and let's be honest it's more than obvious why!
Timo Weiland AW15 dress // May 1st // The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences 'For Your Consideration' event, LA
Hrabal Gurung dress // May 14th // An evening with the cast of Scandal
Mary Katrantzou dress // August 4th // Disney ABC Television Group, LA
Marc Jacobs dress, Casadei heels and Harry Winston heels // September 20th // Emmy Awards, LA
Mary Katrantzou dress // January 11th // Golden Globes
LILY JAMES
Whoever styled Lily James for the Cinderella press tour deserves a medal because they single handedly turned the girl from Downton into a real life princess. Lily James handled the insanity that a life-action Disney remake generates like a pro, and spent the entire circus looking nothing but elegant, ladylike and classy. A real highlight was her Elie Saab gown for the LA premiere: if Cinderella was set in 2015 there's no doubt in my mind that this astonishingly stunning gown would have been eerily similar to the Fairy Godmother's creation. Heart eyed emojis were made for that gown.
Gucci dress // February 18th // Cinderella press conference, Milan
