Beyonce tops fashion list

NEW YORK (Reuters) - R&B singer Beyonce took top honours in a list of best-dressed celebrities of 2007, while bald Britney Spears won the booby prize for most shocking style moment after shaving her head.

People magazine's annual best- and worst-dressed issue hits newsstands on Friday featuring numerous Hollywood stars, all given a nickname to describe their taste in couture.

Beyonce, 26, was dubbed "The Showstopper", while actress Cameron Diaz walked into the top 10 as "The Legs", and actress Katie Holmes, who is married to Tom Cruise, graced the list as "The Classic".

"Beyonce just looks amazing every time she goes out," assistant managing editor Cynthia Sanz told Reuters. "She likes to show off her curves and she is very glamorous."

Beyonce has her own fashion line, "House of Dereon", that mixes hip hop influences with feminine touches like lace and ruffles that she launched with her mother, stylist Tina Knowles, in 2004.

Last year, former "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston topped the list after a reader's vote, but this year the magazine did not seek readers' input. Instead, the magazine's editors drew up the list without giving the 10 winners rankings.

Other women in the top 10 included Penelope Cruz, Jessica Biel, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Gwen Stefani and Ali Larter.

For the men last year, singer Justin Timberlake was named "Trendiest", and praise went to football star David Beckham, who recently moved with wife Victoria to Los Angeles.  Continued...
