Nicole Kidman tops People magazine's new best dressed list

Nicole Kidman has been named the most well-dressed celebrity of 2017 by editors at People Magazine.

The Big Little Lies actress has stunned on the red carpet throughout the year in glamorous designer gowns and her looks have impressed fashionistas at PeopleStyle, who have placed her at number one on their Top 10 Most Stylish Stars of 2017 list.

Nicole was chosen as the 2017 winner for fearlessly wearing "unique, powerful and unapologetically ambitious" outfits on the red carpet.

The Beguiled beauty, who works with stylist Julia von Boehm on her glamorous looks, loves dressing up for the cameras and has previously gushed about how much fun she has wearing fancy couture gowns at A-list events.

"Fashion has such a power," she gushed to Vanity Fair in June (17). "I’ve always loved fashion. I love embracing it and it’s rare that you get to really dress up. Trust me, I don’t dress up at home. So when there’s a chance to dress up, like at Cannes, I embrace it. I love doing it and it’s fun.

"I also love the designers. I love that they care so much. It’s a work of art. All of that is hand done."

Joining Nicole on the best dressed list are R&B star Rihanna, actress and singer Mandy Moore, and movie beauties Jada Pinkett Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Emma Watson, Priyanka Chopra, Zoe Kravitz, and Elle Fanning.

Harry Potter actress Emma received a special nod for promoting eco-friendly designs on the red carpet. The young Brit sought out designers using sustainable products for her @the_press_tour Instagram initiative, while she promoted Disney film Beauty & the Beast around the world earlier this year (17). All her premiere outfits were entirely environmentally friendly.
