Now that we’ve passed the mid-year point, we thought we’d look back at the best outfits worn on the red carpet year-to-date. Enjoy.

10. Beyonce – 2009 Golden Globes

Starting our list is a perennial red carpet favorite – Beyonce Knowles. The 27-year old superstar was dazzling in a sequined Elie Saab gown, accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.

9. Blake Lively – 2009 Golden Globes

At only 21, Blake Lively looked more elegant than most women twice her age at the 2009 Golden Globes. She arrived in a figure hugging Nina Ricci dress, heavily accessorized with ten pieces of jewelry.

8. Natalie Portman – 2009 Academy Awards

Natalie Portman looked radiant in a pink Rodarte dress accessorized with Stella McCartney shoes and Kwiat jewelry.

7. Melissa Miller – 2009 Grammy Awards

This dress got pounded by bloggers as being “boring and inappropriate” – nuts to that! We think Melissa Miller looked great in this white minidress with black cinch.

6. Marisa Tomei – 2009 Academy Awards

Marisa Tomei is defying her age – looking both stunning and sexy in a flowing Versace gown. For added sparkle, she accessorized with jewels from Van Cleef and Arpels.

5. Halle Berry – Wolverine Premiere

Halle Berry arrived at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in a form-fitting Herve L. Leroux see though dress – at least something at the Wolverine premiere was worth watching.

4. Jessica Alba – 2009 Independent Spirit Awards

Jessica Alba was a refreshing sight at February’s Independent Spirit Awards. She arrived in a lacy lavender dress complemented with nude Mary Jane shoes.

3. Camilla Belle – Push Premiere

At the L.A. premiere of Push, Camilla Belle hit the red carpet in a kaleidoscopic Alexander McQueen minidress. The dress was bizarre and hypnotic (does anyone else see the alien face) – but we couldn’t look away.

2. Beyonce – 2009 BET Awards

Beyonce Knowles looked absolutely stunning at the 9^th Annual BET Awards in a colorful Balmain minidress paired with purple stilettos. Miss Sasha Fierce accessorized perfectly with a pair of oversized hoop earrings.

1. Penelope Cruz – 2009 Academy Awards

Style is timeless – a statement that Penelope Cruz proved by donning a 59 year old Balmain dress at the Oscars. She looked fabulous.
