Every year, THR assesses the hits and misses of Hollywood's most star-studded red carpets (or black carpets, as they were at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs). The culmination of a fashion season that — for the entertainment industry — begins with the Cannes Film Festival and wraps at the Oscars, this eighth annual list ranks the town's most influential stylists.
