In a dress by Marjan Pejoski at the Oscars. Yes, as mocked as it was at the time, we really put this on our best dresses list. If Lady Gaga wore this today, no one would bat an eye. Look how far we've come!

I do like Renee, Michelle (both of them) and Sandra (and Halle who should have been here but wasn't). The rest are lackluster at best, hideous at worst. Christina Hendricks is beautiful, and she overshadows the dress so much I don't think I even really noticed what it looked like.

this is a joke right?

Dress #1, It was ugly then and it's twice as ugly now. If lady Gaga wore a dead goose dress, it would be mocked just like her stupid meat dress was.

Dress #7, Wrapping some fabric around someone isn't a dress, it's just lazy and it looks stupid.

Dress #14, A see through lacy dress that shows your underwear and lady parts is not fashion. It's a gimmick to draw attention away from your lack of talent.

Other than that, I mostly liked the dresses picked for the article.

I'm sorry is that a potato sack Christina Hendricks is wearing? Who cares, she looks fabulous.

Michele Obama, Anne Hathaway and Sandra Bullock are wearing the only dresses that I would recognize as a dress and not a "get up" scraped together at the last costume party.

With the exception of Michelle's state dinner dress for India, I couldn't tell the best dresses from te worst.

Yep, I agree with you. Either these dresses really suck or they suck on the women wearing them.

One of my favorite dresses of the decade is Halle Berry's Elie Saab dress from the 2002 Oscars.

Michelle Williams: WIN!

Marion Cotillard: Fail
Why do people like this dress? With all that fabric shooting out of the armpits she gives Bjork competition for the birdiest ensemble.

I really wish the commentors on this story would get the subject of the article correct. This is NOT a best-dressed list. It is a list of what HuffPo thinks are the best DRESSES of the decade.

I am more than a little perplexed by this list- Renee Zellweger's pretty but boring Carolina Herrera dress and Joy Bryant's pedestrian Donna Karan can hardly be considered one the best dresses of the entire decade (though I give HuffPo props for putting Bjork on the list- she got so much crap for that but she's a performance artist just like Lady Gaga and deserves credit for that). LOVED Marion Cotillard's Chanel and Michelle Williams' Vera Wang.

Several of these are worse than those on the Worst Dressed List. I don't know who puts these things together, but fashionistas are a truly odd bunch.

Actually, most of those belong to the Worst Dressed List. I don't know what those who chose this list were smoking at the time.

Marion Cotillard and Michelle williams are the only women that look like wearing Haute couture the others look like very poor designs...

I don´t understand a best dress list without Kristen Dunst, keira knightley, Penelope Cruz, Diane Kruger Kate moss, Carla Bruni, Letizia of Spain, Rania of Jordan,...

This style section is getting more and more conservative and too political oriented!

This is not a "best-dressed" list. The title of the article is "The best DRESSES of the decade".

[killerbarbie]

I do understand it perfectly! Any single Penelope dress is much better than anyone ine this list, same with the others...I can give 5 examples each...if you want

Penelope Cruz:

Red Valentino Donatello Awards 2005

Maquillaje Versace Oscars 2008

Blue Ralph Lauren Oscar 2004

Black Chanel Oscars 2007

White vintage Chanel Oscars 2009

With the exception of Michelle Obama, Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway, I think HP has the "best" and "worst" dress lists mixed up.

[killerbarbie]

08:52 AM on 12/27/2010

I though they were wearing the same dress...

Katie Holmes is best dressed in that potato sack?

[gemini68]

That dress is gorgeous. It is Grecian-inspired. She hasn't looked that great in a long while.
