Best Natural Hair: Tyra Banks

Just when we'd grown used to Tyra Banks's wild, wavy weaves, the TV personality debuted the 5th season of The Tyra Banks Show with her own natural hair.

Best Big-Girl Shoes: Suri Cruise
This year Tom and Katie's little one made the transition from kiddie flats to kitten heels. Back in March, Suri Cruise wore Bella red patent ballet slippers, but braved the rain more recently in silver d'orsay peep-toes. All we want to know is: do those come in adult sizes?

Most Indecisive Hair Color: Jessica Alba
Maybe it was being a new mom, but for Jessica Alba, this was a year of experimentation-from honey highlights to reddish auburn, to platinum blond and espresso brown. Her hairstylist Robert Ramos tells us most of the switches were for movie roles, but regardless, we're impressed. Who among us would look that good in four drastically different colors?

Best Glam-over: Eva Longoria Parker

Granted the piecey bangs she had in January were courtesy of her Desperate Housewives character's unflattering flash-forward, but over the course of the year Eva Longoria Parker turned up on red carpets across the country looking downright stunning. We love her liberal use of lush fake lashes, her tumbling waves, and her consistently flawless skin.

Best Teen Transformation: Emma Watson
Harry Potter star Emma Watson worked some major magic on her wardrobe, moving from subdued silhouettes (like this one from Chanel) in February to sophisticated minis (such as a foil number from Burberry Prorsum), all by the following Fashion Week. Top marks, Hermione!

Drew Barrymore - Makeover Awards 2009

Most Committed Character: Drew Barrymore
Ever heard of Method Acting? Well, Drew Barrymore pioneered Method Dressing, transforming from Grey Gardens glam to Whip It! punk in the space of the year. Of course, Drew being Drew, her split personality was uniformly charming.

Demi Moore-Makeover Awards

Most Consistent Good Looks: Demi Moore
You don't have to be a shape-shifter or a risk-taker to catch our attention. Just take Demi Moore's steady style. She started the year with long raven tresses, rosy cheeks, and neutral lips-which is exactly where she ended it. Who says there's such a thing as too much of a good thing?

Best Shape-Shifter: Kelly Osbourne
With the help of Dancing with the Stars (and a ton of willpower), Kelly Osbourne shimmied her way from curvaceous to ultra-svelte.

Rumer Willis - Makeover Awards 2009
pinterest
Best Spotlight-Stealer: Rumer Willis
This year Rumer Willis went from Demi's daughter to her own woman, in no small part due to a style upgrade. Back in May, she side-stepped the limelight in a less-than-memorable maxidress, but by September she was commanding the red carpet in a sleek Stella McCartney suit. So long, mama's girl!
