InStyle.com says: No one can work a pair of formal shorts quite like Rachel Bilson's Hart of Dixie alter ego, Dr. Zoe Hart. Standing out in a sea of southern belles, the New York transplant dresses up her cropped bottoms with blazers, silky blouses, and serious heels.

EW.com says: It's not easy to look glam in the blazing-hot bayou, but Bilson has pulled it off for each of the 22 episodes this season. With a season two on the horizon, we can't wait to see what she does next!

InStyle.com says: From a slit-up-to-there neon pink Micheal Kors gown to metallic cut-out Hervé Léger bandage dress, judge Jennifer Lopez scored major style points from week to week.

EW.com says: So much sparkle! So much color! So much tan! So much awesome.

InStyle.com says: How refreshing to see Marilyn Monroe revived in three very different ways for NBC's Broadway-themed show—voluptuous Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty), smalltown brunette Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee), and all-out superstar Rebecca Duvall (Uma Thurman). "It's a little terrifying," Megan Hilty told InStyle.com of playing the bombshell. Just goes to show how multi-faceted the icon truly was.

EW.com says: And we can't imagine it was easy finding looks that stayed true to Marilyn the person, as well as all three ladies who would walk in her shoes. Yet, somehow, they managed to pull it off, and if they can do that, it'll be a breeze figuring out how to write the resolution for that season one cliffhanger. Right?

InStyle.com says: While Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) never said "I Do" to Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) thanks to Quinn's (Dianna Agron) unexpected accident, we did see Rachel's bridal style come through in this tea-length dress inspired by Audrey Hepburn's look in Funny Face. How very fitting for her character.

EW.com says: Agreed! The dress was feminine and classic. And say what you will about the Finchel-teen-marriage storyline, but we think Glee should take every opportunity it has to show us wedding dress fashions. (Remember Emma's ultra-chic J.Crew look from 2009?

InStyle.com: At the beginning of the season, Karina Smirnoff told us she couldn't wait to start designing her and partner Gavin DeGraw’s costumes, and her look for their rumba topped our list. "The outfit is a glam version of an undergarment bodysuit wrapped in a silky bed sheet," Smirnoff told InStyle.com. We love the simplicity of the flowy white fabric against the bedazzled bodysuit-absolute perfection.

EW.com says: While we imagine it's easy to dress a body like that, the white fabric added a touch of whimsy and a lot of sexy. Also, is it us, or was the whole peek-of-leg thing really in this year?

InStyle.com says: NBC took a risk with this shoppable show. While only a handful of designs excited the buyers from Saks Fifth Avenue, H&M, and Macy's, some went above and beyond. These floral shorts by Ross Bennett in episode three incited a bidding war between Macy's and H&M, with the former walking away with the design for a cool $120,000.

EW.com says: This winning piece may have been the highlight of the first season, but it definitely shows the sartorial heights possible for the recently announced second season.
