Fashion Laura Dern Is The Chicest Freaking Peacock I've Ever Seen Welcome to "Who Won Fashion Today," where we award the boldest, best-dressed person of the day. Winning fashion doesn't necessarily mean you're wearing the most expensive, trendiest, or prettiest dress. Rather, we reward risk-takers—those that stay true to their personal style and make us go, "Now THAT is a LEWK.” By Ruthie Friedlander Ruthie Friedlander Twitter Ruthie Friedlander is a New York-based writer, editor, and founder of the At Large Agency.
