Vanity Fair's 73rd annual International Best-Dressed List is out in the magazine's September issue and online now. Once again it's our/your chance to peruse the honorees and have one or more of these reflex reactions...
- Feign outrage at the glaring omissions and throw seaweed chips at the screen.
- Say aloud to no one that picking the Duchess of Cambridge (also on the cover) was so obvious, then admit it's a pretty dress she has on.
- Make assumptions about which decisions were politically or financially motivated.
- Actually spot someone new: Sheikha Mozah of Qatar, whose family recently acquired Valentino.
- Question the need for such a list and demand to know, by name, who had final say.
- Quietly gush over Fan Bingbing and singsing her praises for wearing Chinese designers.
- Yawn at another 15-minutes-stretching starlet and/or party girl in loaned and/or gifted couture.
- Conclude that designers and others who work in fashion should be disqualified for reasons that are self-evident.
- Think rappers looks pretty good in a suit and wish they'd do it more.
- Dismissively gawk at a crown royal you've never heard of, yet nod approvingly at whichever country's First Lady made it on.
- At first question the inclusion of Bill Cunningham, but realize that was probably the objective then feel like all is right in the world.
