Taylor Swift Shakes Off Competition On Fashion One’s Top 10 Most Stylish Celebrities Of 2014 List

‘1989’ Singer, songwriter and this generation’s pop icon Taylor Swift trumps veteran red carpet ‘A-list’-ers as she tops not only the billboard charts but also the fashion list as the Most Stylish Celebrity of the year.

Born in 1989, like the title of her fifth studio album, Taylor became this year the first and only act to have three albums sell more than one million copies in a week and she also became the first female artist to succeed herself as number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, when her song "Blank Space" dethroned "Shake It Off".

At just 25, Taylor has been honored with countless awards and recognitions, including seven Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and eleven Country Music Association Awards, which is probably why Rolling Stone magazine has said that "she might get played on the country station, but she's one of the few genuine rock stars we've got these days." This of course means a lot of red carpet events and promotional tours where this southern beauty shows off her modern and sophisticated style.

Although in the early years of her career, Taylor’s signature look consisted of natural curls, sundresses and cowboy boots, those are thankfully now things of the past. She has grown a lot in the fashion department, becoming the New York City cool girl she is today, setting off this year’s fashion trends that millions of young girls look up to and follow. And that is why we have crowned her as the Most Stylish Celebrity of 2014.

Notable Taylor Swift styles this year include the red and black Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2014 strapless gown at the Golden Globes, followed by Julien Macdonald Spring 2014 black knit dress at the after-party, a shimmering champagne color Gucci Première short sleeve gown with metallic chain overlay and crystal gemstone detail paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels and clutch at this year’s Grammy Awards, and a very memorable Reem Acra Spring 2014 off-the-shoulder gown with a metallic-embellished bodice and flowy white chiffon skirt at the Winter Whites Gala.

Taylor Swift may have taken the most stylish celebrity of 2014 title but it was a very close fight as this year brought about a lot of envelope-pushing looks and even maternity couture from deserving contenders. Here’s our complete most stylish celebrity list and ranking.
