Dutch model of the moment Lara Stone was a clear front runner in this year’s Model Of The Year Award.

Best known for the gap in her front teeth and her sizeable assets she’s been the most sort after model of 2009 (and reportedly one of the best paid).

She has opened shows for Giles Deacon, Christopher Kane, Fendi and MaxMara and closed shows for Stella McCartney, Diesel and Balmain.

She has featured in Givenchy campaigns for the past five seasons and has also been featured on the covers of international Vogue, W, Elle and i-D magazine.

Her CV is set to expand either further during 2010 with her nude shoot for ‘Love’ Magazine appearing on newsstands in February.

She will also front her biggest campaign to date replacing Madonna as Marc Jacobs leading lady in Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2010 campaign.

Marc Jacobs said of Lara Stone “we wanted a modern, iconic, sexy beauty… it had to be Lara Stone”.

Karl Lagerfeld now calls her “the girl of the moment” and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld dedicated an entire February 2009 issue to her.

Last’s years winner was British model Jourdan Dunn.

For the next 2 days enjoy our awards given to those who deserved recognition for their red carpet appearances over the last 12 months.

We all have our red carpet favourites like Cate Blanchett and Diane Kruger, but this year we picked 4 girls who made us swoon in the dresses that kicked started our love for them.

Zoe Saldana pretty much started her fantastic year on the red carpet back in April at the Star Trek Germany premiere wearing Prabal Gurung. She continued to wow in Pucci and Chloe.

Carey Mulligan wore this stylish Thakoon colourful dress and I’ve been hooked ever since. Bring on Awards season.

Even though we only got a few glimpses of Kate Cassidy, who can forget her Brian Lichtenberg dress.

Whilst Kristen Stewart was giving us moody face on the red carpet, Ashley Greene gave us style and elegance.
