Says Demarchelier, She s one of the sexiest young actresses of her generation. KATE MOSS She s like the pied piper of fashion everyone follows exactly what she does, says Lieberman. SARAH JESSICA PARKER She made it OK to be a fashion eccentric, says Simon Doonan. The star of Sex and the City: The Movie has proven, as the designer of the cheap-chic line Bitten, that she likes a bargain too. Love her! BEYONCÉ KNOWLES More than just talent and smarts, this girl s got looks. When she steps out, she really steps out, says Reese. JENNIFER LOPEZ She commands the red carpet, says Lieberman.

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES Six years after Chicago, she s still capital-s sexy in an LBD.
