the last ten years of pretty pretty dresses

i hope everyone had a fab evening ringing in the new year!  in honor of this new year and - even better - a new decade, let's see a recap of the twelve best dresses of the last ten years according to in style.  and let's judge them.  i know we're all good at that. 

#1 - kate hudson in versace, 2003

{love her.  love the dress.  i give the dress a 10.}

#2 - anne hathaway in armani prive, 2009

{my girl anne's such a classic beauty, so she always looks great.  i'm honestly not too crazy about this dress.  i like parts of it, but the top and the very bottom just aren't making my heart flutter.  sorry, armani prive.  it's not personal.}

#3 - charlize theron in vera wang, 2000

{this woman is utterly gorgeous and would look good in a trash bag, but i'm kind of ehhh about this dress.}

#4 - eva mendes in dior, 2009

{totally OBSESSED with this dress.  i would wear it to work.  everyday.  e.m. looks hawt and love the tourquoise necklace.}

#5 - penelope cruz in chanel couture, 2007

{love the dropped waist of this gown, and even though it looks like a couple hundred birds were killed for this dress, it's kind of cool.  i would have liked it more in another color.}

#6 - gwen stefani in valentino, 2004

{there's no denying gwen has got some kickass style, but i just don't know how much i like this particular dress on her.  it almost looks like it's made out of a stretch jersey, which reminds me of a hoodie sweatshirt.}

#7 - jessica alba in dolce and gabbana, 2005

{j. alba looks amazing in anything.  love the top part of the dress, not into the length too much.  seems kind of awkward or unfinished.}

#8 - kate winslet in atelier yves saint laurent, 2009

{like it, don't love it.  top part's sexy.}

#9 - sarah jessica parker in chanel couture, 2003

{okay, okay - i know there's a lot of sjp and sitc fans out there, but i don't care for sjp or sitc.  she always looks really old and weathered to me like she's been in the sun for too long and smoking too many cigs.  sorry, i know it's blasphemous to some of you.  just spitting to truth.  oh, and the dress - like the top, hate the bottom.}

#10 - drew barrymore in alberta ferretti, 2009

{loved little drew and e.t. and love her in this dress.  it's totally her style.}

#11 - joy bryant in donna karen, 2005

{love the dress, love the color, very sexy and flattering.}

#12 - reese witherspoon in nina ricci, 2007

{i def like her shoes more than her dress.  kind of looks like what some girls wore to homecoming or prom in high school.  what i love most is actually her hair.  i'm loving the bangs.  my hairdresser says my face to small for bangs and they'll make me look younger.  whatevs, i'll show her.  sorry, i digressed.}

i have to say my top two faves are dresses #4 and #11.  what are your faves??  wish this was a giveaway and whoever brought me the most new stalkers would get the dress of their choice...  wouldn't that be nice.  maybe we'll have a little giveaway in 2010 here at (flash) pasteurized.  just a little something to look forward to.

keep your pants on this weekend, i'll be back monday with the usual antics.  and i'll also be back in the office, so i'm sure i'll have tons to bitch tell you all about.
