George Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin

The chic Amal Alamuddin, the high-profile lawyer who married George Clooney, emerged as one of this year's biggest sartorial sensations. She won points for style and substance, as well as catching the heart of Hollywood's most notorious bachelor.

The fashion industry wasn't prepared when Anna Wintour dedicated Vogue US's April cover to Kimye (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) decked out in their wedding finery. It provoked plenty of criticism, but Wintour had the last laugh, as sales exceeded expectations (it's estimated the issue sold more than 300,000 copies).

In November came the image that was supposed to break the internet: Kim's nude and well-oiled derriere on the cover of Paper Magazine.

The one Kardashian the high-fashion set were happy to embrace is Kim's stepsister and model, Kendall Jenner. In less than a year the 19-year-old has gone from bratty reality TV star to model du jour, opening big shows at Paris Fashion Week and fronting campaigns for mega brands such as Givenchy and Estée Lauder.
