Meanwhile, America's First Lady, who has scored slots on the list for the past four years, appears for the first time with her husband Barack - the two are on the Best-Dressed couples list!
Though Carey Mulligan, Tilda Swinton and Lady Gaga frequently land on fashion critics' worst dressed lists, the trio all made the best dressed list for the second time.
As for the guys, Justin Timberlake, Colin Firth and Armie Hammer all made their dapper debuts, while NBC News anchor Brian Williams received top haute honors, scoring rank on the list's Hall of Fame.
Other notable names include Paris Hilton's ex-fiance Stavros Niarchos, Uma Thurman's moneybags beau Arpad Busson, Princess Charlene of
Monaco, the First Lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Princess Alexandra of Greece.
