With Grammy and Golden Globe nominations just announced, holiday gift shopping underway, and the weather getting chillier and chillier, there's no doubt that 2008 is quickly coming to a close. It's also that special time of year when everyone -- including "The Thread" -- ponders the past 12 months and compiles their "best of" lists.

"The Thread" has picked its best dressed celebs of 2008, including Anne Hathaway and  "Dancing With the Stars'" Julianne Hough. Find out who else earned honors:

Salma Hayek dressed up her Stella McCartney frock with an interesting headpiece. - Andrew H. Walker/Getty ImagesAmanda Seyfried let the one-shoulder gown speak for itself. - Frederick M. Brown/Getty ImagesDespite the fact that this dress is far from fabulous, we need to determine which of these lovely ladies looked better in it. First off, we have the sultry Salma Hayek. The multi-talented Mexican rocked the silk Stella McCartney frock at an Art of Elysium benefit just before the Thanksgiving holiday. The pearl piece hugs her curves in all the right places. Unfortunately, her hideous headgear detracts from the overall look.

Next up, we have Amanda Seyfried. The "Mamma Mia!" star wore the same one-shoulder gown on the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes. Luckily, the blond beauty kept her accessories to a minimum. I think the color kinda washes her out and that it's a tad matronly for a 23-year-old, but I'm giving her the victory over Salma for one reason: that distracting black dome adornment.

It's hard to believe, but Iman is 53 -- and gorgeous as ever. As a former model, she obviously knows a thing or two about makeup and skincare. Thus, she launched Iman Cosmetics back in 1994, which was designed specifically for women of color. While being interviewed by "Access Hollywood" recently, Iman shared a few makeup tips for ladies in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Find how how you can look good at any age in the clip below!

In honor of tank top season, "The Thread" is counting down the best arms on television. Watch to find out how celebs like Kelly Ripa and Becki Newton got their lean and mean limbs!

Heidi Montag proudly shows off her nails adorned with the Chanel logo. - Perkins/Shirley/PacificCoastNews.comIt was another rough day for Heidi Montag. The reality "star" was in Beverly Hills doing a little shopping at Chanel -- and apparently getting her nails done. Heidi proudly showed off her newly painted black-and-white tips, which were adorned with the Chanel logo. I think they're kind of tacky, but then again, everything that Speidi does is a bit tasteless. You can buy Chanel, but that doesn't necessarily make you classy!

I just can't get enough of "So You Think You Can Dance" this summer, and it's not just because of the dancing. If you haven't been watching, you might want to tune in just to see the best reality host on TV: Cat Deeley. The Emmy nominating committee may not recognize her talents (leaving her out of the running for the first ever Outstanding Reality Host category), but any good fashionista should. Cat definitely knows how to stand out next to "America's Favorite Dancer[s]." Of course, being 5' 9" tall doesn't hurt either. Check out a few of Cat's hits (and a couple of misses) from this season:

A hit - My absolute fave is this magenta swirly number by Marchesa. It takes a great figure like Cat's to pull off this kind of embellishment. The dress is different and bold, in a very current color, but not too outlandish. - Michael Becker/FOX

A hit - This sparkly lace Collette Dinnigan cocktail dress seems a bit overdone at first glance, but it somehow seems appropriate while sharing a stage with the SYTYCD crew. - Michael Becker/FOX

A hit - This vintage black dress is ultra chic, but the best part of the outfit is the Jimmy Choo shoes. They're simple and black, just like the dress, but the angled strap is to die for! I'm not sure what that big black thing in her hair is, but I barely notice it thanks to the shoes. - Kelsey McNeal/FOX

A hit - Cat donned another fab LBD by Tadashi. The V-neckline is very flattering and the skirt length, though on the modest side for Cat, is just right. I absolutely adore the volume in the skirt. The best part of this outfit is the hair: perfect waves, no gimmicks. - Michael Becker/FOX

A miss - Okay, the shoes (once again Jimmy Choo) are fab, but what's up with the George Wu triple-tie penguin dress? And the faux bob is not a good look for anyone. - Kelsey McNeal/FOX

A miss - Oh Cat, why so dowdy? This Matthew Williamson dress could be cute outside on a sunny day with flip flops and a ponytail, but on stage with droopy air-dried hair, it's kind of a bust. It's TV! Let's see some colors that pop! - Kelsey McNeal/FOX  

The 51st annual Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles last night and, once again, the red carpet was a mishmash of messes and the mundane. Fortunately for red carpet fashion watchers, some stars actually made an effort to steam the wrinkles out of their gowns and get fierce updos.

Check out a few of the night's highlights and vote for your favorite!

Taylor Swift - Aided by a naturally long and lean physique and gorgeous face, Taylor Swift turned up the heat in a black Kaufman Franco gown with a plunging neckline. She looked young, glamorous, and sexy. - Dan MacMedan/WireImage.com

Katy Perry - This look might be better suited to the Oscars than the Grammys, but considering Miss Perry's penchant for glamorous getups she can get away with it on music's biggest night. This pink Basil Soda gown looked simply gorgeous on the pop singer. - Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic.com

Kathy Griffin - Although she often makes the worst dressed list at red carpet events, Kathy finally pulled off a fab outfit and, let's be honest, some well-executed feathered hair! In her simple royal blue gown, the Emmy-winning Bravo reality show star proved that redheads don't always have to wear green to look great. - Steve Granitz/WireImage.com  

In the midst of New York Fashion Week, "The Thread's" Sarah Bernard found some time to fit in a trip to former "Project Runway" winner Christian Siriano's Brooklyn loft.

The fierce and fabulous designer offered a peek at his first full collection (which he officially unveiled in Bryant Park on Thursday), and also revealed some of his favorite trends for fall including understated ruffles and graphic tees. See what else Siriano had to say:
