Good Housekeeping magazine has considered the fashion choices of the 49-year-old star and gave her the first prize in the competition.

Fashion designer Ben de Lisi commented on Kristen’s style:

Her love of classic designer labels such as Yves Saint Laurent, and beautiful drapery and luxurious fabrics has won her fashion acclaim, although she’s most comfortable at home in jeans or combats.”

The competition has been organized to show that women can look perfect at any age.

Good Housekeeping’s fashion director Liz Cocozza said:

The stylish women on this list prove that great fashion sense is not something that fades with age, for some women it gets even better.”

This time the glam event Glamour Women of the Year Awards was held at NYC’s Carnegie Hall on Monday November 9. L’Oreal Paris was the main sponsor of the awards.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were presenters, so were Katie Couric and former President Bill Clinton, three Beatles wives, Tyra Banks, model Iman and others.

The annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards always honor a group of eclectic women, and this year was no exception.

Let’s see who are the winners of the Women of The Year Awards 2009:

2) Tyra Banks presented tennis champion Serena Williams, who has her own Serena Williams Foundation.

Tyra said:

You can do whatever you want to do. The most important belief is self-belief.”

In 2009 female athlete Serena released an autobiography, opened a secondary school in Kenya, gave grants to college students, and won the greatest monetary prize than any female sportsman in the history of world sports.

She was in red one shoulder gown by Pamela Rolland and wore silver bangles on her hands.

3) First Lady of California Maria Shriver (John F. Kennedy’s niece) steers the California Women’s Conference. This is a growing association for female power.

She has overrided her role to encourage and give out light and help in roles of women at their muti-role lives. This year she also produced a documentary on Alzheimer’s disease, which afflicted her father, Sargent Shriver.

She was in a beautiful lace dress designed by Californian designer Monique Lhuillier.

4) Daudher of Paul McCartney, designer Stella McCartney is one of the most influential fashion designers and animal rights activists. She refuses to use leather and fur in her designs but makes amazing clothes and footwear.

Her dad wasn’t at the Awards, but her honor was presented by three Beatles wives: Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon, Olivia Harrison, widow of George, and Ringo Starr’s wife, Barbara Starkey.

She opted for the purple short dress and jacket from her collections.

5) Comic actress Amy Poehler took her award from hands ofSaturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. Poehler views her work as a ruse mission to help authorize young women.

Poehler’s advice to the young women and girls:

Girls, if boys say something that’s not funny, you don’t have to laugh.”

For the Award she dressed in a sparkling gold dress by Stella McCartney.

6) Google’s Vice President of Search Product and User Experience, Marissa Mayer, who became the first female engineer at Google Inc, has increased and developed all of the company’s popular products, from Gmail to Google Earth.

She sees her real goal in bringing more women into the technology space.

Matt Lauer, host of NBC’s Today, who presented the award to Marissa Mayer said:

I discovered she had 600,000 mentions,” Lauer quipped. “Not as huge as me, but no slouch”

7) Actor Michael Douglas presented award to Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, who was also praised via TV by President Barack Obama.

She is leading a campaign at the United Nations to oblige a zero-tolerance policy on sexual violence.

She puts women’s rights at the top problems of the American agenda at the U.N.

8) Laura Ling and Euna Lee – These two American journalists, who were arrested and confined while reporting on the plight of North Korean women and ran away into China to avoid famine.

They were jailed for 140 days and were freed in August 2009

9) U.S. poet Maya Angelou, 81, doesn’t stop writing and informing the young generation. She is confidante of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, a memoirist, poet, educator and civil rights activist.

She has written about her personal life, childhood rape, teenage motherhood and racism.

10) A pediatrician, who created Worldwide Orphans Foundation, Dr. Jane Aronson received a special award.

This foundation has provided life-altering support to more than 20,000 orphans around the world.

Dr. Aronson works with adoptive parents, including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, to take care for children and assure them that their new families can
work.

I am grateful to be a woman,” said Angelou, who won the lifetime achievement award. “I must have done something great in another
life.”

11) One Million Signatures Campaign is a group started in 2006 by a group of Iranian women to end gender disparity.

The organizers of this campaign risk their lives when asking women and men to sign a formal request demanding changes in the laws that make women second-class people.

And U.S. first lady Michelle Obama also received special recognition from Glamour.

A hallowed mother, and the granddaughter of a slave, the first Michelle Obama earned the respect of the world by unflagging normal despite the defiances of her new role.

She has shown engagement to helping the next generation of young women swell their horizons by providing them with the inspiration and information to fancy themselves as the leaders of tomorrow.

Catherine Zeta Jones is a successful actress and she is very beautiful woman. She has the ability to dazzle in her film roles. Her professional and personal life is constantly discussed in media.

The most recent story when Catherine, 39, appeared in public looking horrible surprised all of us. But it didn’t antagonize us from her. Moreover, we probably started to love her even more when we realized she was an ordinary person with the same problems millions of others have.

Catherine Zeta Jones has always dressed well and now I offer you to take a look back at her fashion and style over the years, through some of her film choices…

The Mask Of Zorro (1998)

When Catherine played her perfect part in this film she became a great star not only in the UK, where she had already been famous, but also in Hollywood. Opposite the gorgeous Antonio Banderas, Catherine looked wonderfully wearing the corset.

Chicago (2002)

This film by Catherine Zeta Jones was a peculiar sensation. She played hot Roxie.

She looked like a megastar with her smokey eyes, bob cut and the flapper fashion. Perfect role and perfect looks.

Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

This odd romantic comedy with George Clooney in showed Catherine in a new unusual way, but that’s probably the best thing about it.

Here, she plays a gold digger with tacky clothes but still she looks fantastic due to her natural appeal.

Oceans 12 (2004)

Catherine is just terrific – one of those stars who comes along once in a long while,” said Weintraub, a film producer.

She is perfect in her part here. Wearing business style work suits and a bob hair cut she creates quite a new view of hers.

The Terminal (2004)

Catherine Zeta-Jones as Amelia Warren – a 39-year-old United Airlines flight attendant looks absolutely superb! No wonder that Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) falls in love with her. She so elegant!

The Legend of Zorro (2005)

And again she is Elena Montero, a character that made her pretty memorable and recognizable once. She is still young and hot, working that corset to perfection.

No Reservations (2007)

Here, Catherine is a perfectionist chef addicted to her work.

She struggles to adjust when her sister dies leaving her with a little girl to raise and a new soup-chef threatens to take over her kitchen with his high-spirited and free-wheeling ways.

She looks pretty ordinarily in this film but still very attractive.

Death Defying Acts (2008)

The actress plays a psychic Mary McGarvie who has an affair with the magician Houdini. Catherine looks very chic and polished in this film, with a stylish up-do and simple make-up. In one scene she wears a bejewelled, belly-baring outfit proudly putting her curves on display.

She is perfect, as usual.

Catherine isn’t going to stop her career and soon we’ll see her in The Rebound (2009) as a single mom who captivates her new neighbor, a much younger man.

According to rumors she will probably act as Lana Turner in Stompanato (2010) and star in Law Abiding Citizen (2009) and Racing the Monsoon (2009).

Now we can only make our predictions about her looks in these films. But let’s hope Catherine will stagger us again!
