Before the year comes to an end tomorrow, we take a final look back at those celebrity fashion iconsĀ that stood out in our style-conscious minds. From those that introduced us to new designers e.g, Michelle Obama, to fashion forward trendsetters e.g. Rihanna, andĀ those with questionable style e.g,Lady Gaga. We reminisce on how they stood out in 2009.

Audrey Tautou as the face of Chanel and in "Coco before Chanel" practically lived in Chanel outfits this '09

Alexa Chung won us over with her quirky fashion sense and now has managed to build a cult of fashion followers in the states too.

We may be waiting to get carried away come 2010 but SJP gave us so much style to see us through 2009

Victoria Beckham gave us Victoria Beckham this year- No we mean the label, as she was photographed mostly in her own collection this '09

Dannii Minogue gave us something to look forward to saturday and sunday nights during Xfactor and boy, were we entertained?

Freida Pinto captured our attention in Slumdog Millionaire then continued to do so all through the year in captivating & stylish outfits

Leighton Meester seems to get fiercer everytime she was spotted this year, whether during fashion week or taking a break from set, we look forward to seeing more from her in 2010

Emma Watson removed every doubt in our cynical minds about her fashion credibility once she was chosen as the face of Burberry this year!

Rihanna might have had a tough year with Chris brown but her wardrobe didnt. This one does not follow trend, she sets them.. by miles!

Cuckoo or Cool, fashion forward or plain silly, whatever you think, Lady Gaga definitely caught your attention this year, as well as the attention of Alexander Mcqueen, Marc Jacobs & Chanel, we wait to see what she comes up with in 2010
