First lady Michelle Obama, whose fashion decisions -- from wearing shorts to bearing her arms -- have captured the attention of Washington and the world, made the list for the second time in a row. Indie designers like Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu catapulted to success after dressing her. Here, at the 2010 White House state dinner, she wears a one-shoulder, sapphire blue Peter Soronen gown.

Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Alec Baldwin, NBC’s Nightly news anchor, Brian Williams and David Beckham are just of few of the people on Vanity Fair’s Best-Dressed List for 2010.Of course Lady Gaga won in the Originals category and is the third time Brian Williams has been on the International Best Dressed list for men. Alec Baldwin also joined Williams on the International Best Dressed list for men and Michelle Obama is on the International Best Dressed list for women. Soccer player David Beckham was selected to be on the Hall of Fame list.
“Michelle Obama plays a very important role in fashion right now,” Amy Fine Collins, Vanity Fair special correspondent, told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Tuesday, referring to the U.S. first lady’s mix of designer labels with affordable brands like J. Crew, Talbots and Isaac Mizrahi’s Liz Claiborne.
It's not as easy as you think to be on Vanity Fair's best dressed list. Several thousand ballots are circulated to designers, retailers, editors, filmmakers, social figures, photographers, former winners and entertainers, with the intention of honoring individuality, chic and originality on the highest level. A small committee oversees the popular vote to ensure balance and categorizes individuals.
