Our style guru's gongs for the most iconic outfits of 2011

1. Michelle Obama, in Alexander McQueen at a state dinner for China in Washington

This red silk organza dress was scandalous when Michelle Obama wore it in January because her choice of a British designer was deemed unpatriotic: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The First Lady defended her choice thus: ‘Look, women, wear what you love. That’s all I can say. That’s my motto. I wear what I like.’

2. Kate Winslet, in Stella McCartney at the Venice Film Festival

Kate wore this optical illusion Octavia dress at the Venice Film Festival in September. Designer Stella McCartney bagged a well-deserved Red Carpet Designer of the Year gong at this year’s British Fashion Awards.

3. Natalie Portman, in Rodarte at the Oscars

A simple purple dress that spoke volumes. Portman had been planning to wear Dior, having been hired as the brand’s face, but changed her mind after designer John Galliano was filmed making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar. Instead, she hastily chose a gown by Rodarte, the label which made the costumes for her film, Black Swan.

4. Pippa Middleton, in Alexander McQueen at the Royal Wedding

Pippa’s derriere, also clad in ivory McQueen, caused an online furore, and to my mind, slightly overshadowed the less violently tanned Kate. Which is why bridesmaids mostly wear lime nylon puffballs.

5. Lady Gaga, in Hussein Chalayan at the Grammys

Lady Gaga bagged the most magazine covers this year: 36. Her best dress? Well, not a dress exactly but the Hussein Chalayan egg she wore to the Grammys in February, from which she emerged clad in lemon-coloured latex, complete with pleather brassiere.

6. Kate Middleton, in Alexander McQueen at her wedding

What more can I say about this dress? Millions of us have seen it on display at Buckingham Palace since the wedding. It was pretty much perfect . . . and you know I never say that.

7. Kate again, in Jenny Packham at a charity event in Kensington

I love the colour, which matches the blush on her cheeks. I love her sexy, tumbling hair, and my, what a tiny waist. I have a feeling Kate’s really going to find her fashion feet in 2012.

8. Gisele, in vintage Alexander McQueen at the Met Ball, New York

This is the world’s highest-paid supermodel doing what she does best — filling out a dress. And what a gown — a 2005 McQueen fire engine red number.

9. Jennifer Lopez, on stage at the American Music Awards

This is not so much a dress, more a body stocking, with spangles covering Jennifer Lopez’s bits and bobs. I imagine she was trying to let ex-husband Marc Anthony know just what he was missing. It’s the ultimate revenge outfit, yet some magazines still asked if it was ‘age appropriate’. She is JENNIFER LOPEZ. Who cares how old she is?

10. Emma Watson, in Valentino at the Baftas

This was the year Emma Watson came of age. This nude Valentino gown was ethereal, not too lamb dressed as mutton, and not a vertiginous platform in sight.

11. Daphne Guinness, in Alexander McQueen at an exhibition in New York

It was a bit of a McQueen year all round. Daphne Guinness wore this exquisite dress from Sarah Burton’s first solo collection for the label, made entirely of lilac feathers.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

There’s no doubt about it Jennifer Lopez is looking hotter than ever, and doesn’t she just know it.

The 42-year-old singer was clearly not averse to flaunting her incredible figure in Will.i.am’s first solo video for the track T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever).

Jennifer, who appears on the track with the BEP singer songwriter, is seen showing off her curves to perfection in the video, displaying a body that would put a woman half her age to shame.

Jennifer is seen on various screens inside the different types of transportation, and the singer and actress commands attention in her two figure hugging outfits.

In the monochrome outfit Jennifer teams the high stockings with a lycra body suit and dances with her legs spread.

Go hard or go home: It seems that the message of the video is to put all your effort into everything you do

Her hair, which appears to contain extensions has been straightened to hand loose around her body and she adds a flash of colour with coral lips.

Mick Jagger also makes an appearance in the video, which was directed by Rich Lee.

The E.N.D. is the first track from Will's debut solo album Willpower, which is set to be released in 2012.

Smitten J.Lo kisses her toyboy

A woman in love? Smitten J.Lo kisses her toyboy in the street... days before they enjoy a romantic getaway with her children

Jennifer Lopez has only been dating dancer Casper Smart for a month.

But there's no doubt the singer/actress is smitten with her toyboy after they enjoyed a public kissing session in the street.

The PDA session came just days before Smart accompanied Lopez and her children for a Thanksgiving family holiday to Hawaii last weekend.

Tender: The mother-of-two pulls Smart close to her as she kisses him on the lips

Public display of affection: Jennifer Lopez embraces toyboy boyfriend Casper Smart as he rehearses with Mike Posner in Los Angeles last month

And in photos that will undoubtedly upset her estranged husband Marc Anthony, Caspar is seen bonding with twins Max and Emme.

Dancer Smart, 24, joined Lopez, 42, on a family holiday to Kauai, Hawaii for Thanksgiving last weekend along with her mother Guadalupe.

The vacation came just days after the American Idol judge was spotted visiting Smart as he rehearsed with singer Mike Posner.

Hold me close: The singer whispers sweet nothings in the young man's ear

Tired: Lopez looked tired as she enjoyed a lingering embrace with Smart

New romance: The couple have only been dating for a month

The photographs were taken before they shared the stage at the American Music Awards.
Awkwardly, her estranged husband Anthony also performed at the star-studded ceremony, and was forced to watch his ex cavort on stage with her new man, who was her back-up dancer.
After the awards, Lopez and Smart were apparently openly affectionate to each other in her private booth at an after-party at the Greystone Manor Supperclub.
During their trip to Hawaii, Smart was seen getting to know her three-year-old twins as he played with them on the beach.

Getting to know the family: Jennifer Lopez looks on as her new boyfriend Casper Smart plays with her three-year-old daughter Emme

Curly-haired Emme looked like she was in fits of giggles as Smart held her upside down as they frolicked by the sea.

An eyewitness told Us Weekly: 'Casper was great with the kids. Casper twirled Emme and Max around in the water. The twins played tag and chased Casper.'

After their six-day Hawaii break, it is thought the twins are now in the U.S. with their father while Smart accompanies Lopez on a work trip to Morocco after she was photographed arriving in the North African country via private jet yesterday.

Laugh a minute: Emme looked like she was having a lot of fun as Smart dangled her upside down

'This is so much fun mommy': Emme grins at her mother as Smart twirls her around

Although Lopez has only been dating Smart for a month, its thought they originally met in May, while she was still married to singer-songwriter Anthony.

In October, she said her priority was to protect her children in the wake of her marriage breakdown.

She told Glamour magazine: 'As a mom, and having children, right now they're my first priority.

Where's your brother? The singer keeps a close eye on Emme as she wanders down the beach

Difficult split: Lopez split from estranged husband Marc Anthony in July

'And because of them, I wouldn't ever comment on anything until I'm in a serious relationship again.

'It would just be confusing for them and it would be unfair. And so at the end of the day, it's about them.'

And she said any new relationships she would embark on, she would try to do so privately after learning from her past public romances.

She explained: 'I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye. You know the media - they want to rush everything.'

However, fans of the singer know J.Lo is prone to rushing head-first into romances.

She and Marc Anthony wed in June 2004 after just four months of dating, with their romance starting just weeks after the actress called off her engagement to Ben Affleck.

Lopez famously dated her Gigli co-star Affleck immediately after her second nine-month marriage to back-up dancer Cris Judd broke down in June 2002.

Prior to Judd, she also has a stormy two year relationship with rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs and before that a year-long marriage to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa.

Meanwhile, new photographs have emerged of Lopez enjoying a passionate kissing session with her younger lover.

Jennifer Lopez's new toyboy dancer joins her on stage for raunchy routine at AMAs

Trying to make someone jealous? Jennifer Lopez's new toyboy dancer joins her on stage for raunchy routine at AMAs

By Mike Larkin

If Jennifer Lopez wanted to steal the show at the American Music Award's she certainly succeeded.

There was a stellar line-up of stars at the event including, Christina Aguilera, Justin Bieber, David Guetta and Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Katy Perry.

But it was Jennifer's raunchy rendition of On The Floor which proved the hot topic of conversation tonight, which was particularly notable because she took to the stage with new beau Casper Smart.

Up close and personal: J-Lo was also seen dancing up to her new man Casper Smart who performed with his top off

Over the top? Jennifer Lopez stipped off midway through her performance and grinded up to rapper Pitbull on the stage at the AMA's tonight

Fun: Jennifer seemed to enjoy writhing around the stage with the group of semi-naked men during her performance

She seemed to be trying to make someone jealous as she performed a kinky act that reached its climax when she stuck her famous rear in rapper Pitbull's crotch.

Not only was she dressed in an extremely provocative ensemble which consisted of a sheer catsuit covered in crystals which showed plenty of flesh, but she also was more than happy to grind up against the performer.

Given that Pitbull was later to take to the stage with her estranged husband Marc Anthony her overtly sexual show could have been considered a little inappropriate.

If her performance wasn't enough to make even the most level headed ex jealous she also took to the stage with her new beau Casper, who danced next to her topless.

Still pretty classy: The long flowing gold dress gave no hints to the debauched performance that lay ahead

And it seems the dancer was pleased with their performance and tweeted: 'Just killlllled the show with @JLo at the #AMAs2011!!!!'
Jennifer arrived on stage in a long flowing gown and it appeared she couldn't remember her words.
But it proved to be just an act and she quickly broke out into her famous dance track and whipped off her dres in the process.
The elaborate performance which saw her flung around the stage by performers on stage also included a bizarre spot of promotion for one of her current campaigns.
At one point she was seen jumping into a Fiat 500, a car she is currently promoting in the States.
A sequence was shown which saw her driving through the streets in the vehicle, which leaves her open to obvious criticism she has sold out.

All change: But she had soon stripped down to skimpy body tights and began to indulge in a provocative dance routine

But that soon changed, and she had soon cast off the dress and was strutting around the stage in a revealing body stocking.

The 42-year-old, who seems to be taking a leaf out of aging pop icon Madonna's book on concert performance, then indulged in a filthy performance where she writhed around the stage with her troupe of dancers.

She was even swinging around with the aid of her backing gang.

Swinger: Perhaps Jennifer Lopez should consider joining the circus after showing off her unexpected acrobatic skills

Look out: The audience did not seem too concerned about the acrobat losing his grip of Jennifer

Good advertising: Jennifer drove on to the stage in the Fiat 500 she is currently promoting

But she had saved her naughtiest moment for when Cuban-American rapper Pitbull joined her.

As he spat out verses she held onto a staff and provocatively thrust and rubbed her rear in his crotch area.

The bad boy star certainly seemed to enjoy taking part in the performance alongside the Jenny From The Block singer.

The Pitts: The Latino rapper seemed to hold it together remarkably well in the circumstances

Face off: There was a point during the performance where Jennifer looked the rap bad boy in the eyes

Sugar cane: Jennifer looked remarkably sprightly for someone who makes use of a walking stick

Less racy: But there are not many people who will remember the outfit from Jennifer's second performance

Later on she sang again in a far more demure outfit, but there are not many people who will remember that performance

Quite how her estranged husband Marc Anthony felt when he watched the performance is anyone's guess.

But it not seem to be on his mind when he performed with the Florida native soon after.

In fact the pair seemed like the best of chums as they performed together soon after.

Changing clothes: Jennifer wore an elegant black lace number to collect her award and a silver dress to the post-party

Surrounded by beautiful ladies! The Latin performer didn't seem put out by the attractive dancers surrounded

All is forgiven? Marc Anthony did not seem to bothered by Pitbull's previous theatrics but he could have been keeping calm for the cameras

However the Latin singing sensation's blood could have been secretly boiling, and he did not want to cause a scene in front of the world's media.
In fact Marc seemed more than happy to be performing with Pitbull and was seen patting him on the back as they performed around with scantily clad dancers.

Playing both dies: Pitbull seemed happy to be in the middle performing with Jlo prior to hitting the stage with Marc
