Love to hate her or hate to love her, there’s no denying Jolie’s style has improved leaps and bounds. She’s found a style that works for her—simple shapes and colors—and sticks with it.

Give the girl her own starring role (The New Adventures of Old Christine) and she’s golden. Embracing an ultra feminine hourglass shape and sexy sheer, the look is flawless.

Similar to other stylish stars, Ellen’s found a formula that works for her: straight-legged pants and menswear-inspired button-downs and blazers.

Sandy glowed during her moment, accepting praise and an Oscar while winning over the fashion critics. This champagne shade works well with her coloring and the classic, sensuous shape is a home-run.

Working with a tricky body type like Sherri’s is tough, but she’s nailed it here (we thank like-figured Oprah.) The wrap style is universally flattering and keeps her bust from overpowering everything else.

The simple cut of this dress is classy, even while letting the star show off her fab figure. The sleek bob and subtle makeup only add to the sophisticated feel.

The My Life on the D-List star has closer to A-list style chops. The simple column is flattering and the neckline and golden yellow hue work well (even with her signature red hair.)

More recently, the fashion plate’s style has fallen into place, sitting front row at fashion shows, befriending celebrity designers and even designing her own highly praised line.

Barrymore’s done especially well wearing trendy, youthful pieces while still acting her age. The unexpected twist of periwinkle leather with a khaki army jacket is daring and chic!

Lopez’s style has gone from loungewear to lady-like. Now, the mogul is more likely to be seen in well put-together and sophisticated pencil skirts and shift dresses (still perfect for flaunting her famous figure.)
