Barbara Walters named her 10 ‘most fascinating’ people of the year in a television special Thursday night, and of the 10, quite a few are also regulars in All the Rage -- either for their great sense of style (Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock), their outre style (Snooki, who was named as part of the ‘cast of ‘Jersey Shore,’ ‘ which Walters counted as one entry) or the ability while still a teen to co-brand nail polish and perfumes. (You know who you are, Justin Bieber!) Two on the list we know we’ll hear a lot more about in 2011: Kate Middleton and Sarah Palin. The other four -- Betty White, Gen. David Petraeus, LeBron James and Mark Zuckerberg -- we’ll leave to other blogs. [People]

Imagine a dress that shows where it has been touched. The “Science of Sequin” frock from the spring collection of Boudicca, the London-based label designed by Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby, does just that. Run a hand over the sequins and they flip over, showing a different colored underside. Only six of the dresses were made. [T Magazine]
