Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

The 2008 Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed list includes Ivanka Trump, Michelle Obama, and 8 other classy ladies, plus ten gentlemen, fashion professionals, couples, and more...

i imagine that the list is pretty tame and ordinary, but i'm so out of fashion that i've only heard of maybe 12 people through the whole thing.  it's like i fail at celebrity blogging.
