While the gowns and dresses are truly fabulous and memorable, I'm really taken with Grace Kelly and Jane Birkin's classic looks! I can't think of many who could pull of that top the way that Jane does! Speaking of memorable, not many of us could forget Madonna's daring get-up....thank God those days are gone! Beautiful Princess Diana is a stunning vision in blue; Brad and Jennifer...I loved them together! Included in this feature was a picture of Brad and Angelina, which I purposely left out. I don't care for the way that the media constantly plays the two off each other, adding crass and unwarranted comments. I know they're no longer together, but I'm partial to the Brad and Jennifer coupling.
