Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List: Obamas, Brad Pitt and Fancy Rich People

Vanity Fair magazine announced their best dressed list this week. The categories are stranger than the Kids’ Choice Awards, but the clothes are definitely more stylish. Unless you’ve spent the last 20 years jetsetting and attending elite NYC parties, I doubt you know half these people even existed, let alone if they have nice clothes. I’ve done you a favor and put the people that you have heard of in bold.

How to land on the list as a Hollywood actor or actress- 

Actor- wear a suit. Be attractive no matter if you are wearing a suit or not. 

Actress- don’t hire a celebs stylist that will put a headband and a hefty bag with high waisted jeans on you. Just put on a nice dress every so often. You will shine in comparison.
