I mean, who else could it be, really? 2013 has been Jennifer Lawrence's year, which is why The Fashion Barbie is awarding her the title of It Girl of 2013. Back in 2011 we knew this girl was going places, but who could have predicted that Jennifer Lawrence was going to be the star of Young Hollywood when she stepped out into the spotlight three years ago.

To summarize Lawrence's stunning year: she kicked off 2013 with a bang by winning an Oscar for her outstanding performance in Silver Linings Playbook. She became the face of Christian Dior. The second installment of The Hunger Games was an even bigger success than the first (already counting the days until the next one!). Her latest film, American Hustle recently came out and is already an Oscar front-runner; Lawrence has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her supporting role and may earn her third Oscar nomination (and second win, perhaps?).

A whirlwind year indeed.

Lawrence hasn't just won awards this year; she's won over the hearts of moviegoers everywhere. Her All-American, "real" and slightly awkward (but always endearing) attitude is easily relatable, and Lawrence is much more focused on her acting than on taking the spotlight.

Of course, Lawrence still wears designer duds that cost a small fortune, so she's not exactly your average girl, but she wears even couture with casual elegance and ease. Lawrence's style can vary from edgy and experimental to gorgeous and glam.

Lawrence also made waves this year with her new 'do (and we're not talking about her Katniss braids). Earlier this year she decided to chop off her long layers for a stylish pixie cut. I'm not going to lie, I was highly skeptical of this hairdo at first, but the look has grown on me.

It's especially exhilarating to compare Lawrence's early red carpet looks to her most recent ensembles, because you really understand the type of style evolution that she's gone through. Jennifer Lawrence hasn't just blossomed into one of the most promising actresses of our generation, she's also grown into a style icon in 2013.

We couldn't give the title of It Girl of 2013 to a sweeter, more talented actress, and with seven films in the works, you know the Reign of Jennifer Lawrence is only just beginning.

Here's to more awesome red carpet moments in the next year, and here's to 2014. 

You can't be such a polarizing figure without being widely talked about, and for better or for worse, Miley Cyrus has caused quite the stir this year. Her onstage antics are so notorious at this point that I shouldn't even bother mentioning them (smoking marijuana while performing in Amsterdam and twerking with Robin Thicke at the VMAs are a few of those moments, in case you forgot or live under a rock) and a lot of the rebellious activity is overdone and tiring, but Miley is just being Miley and you have to admit that a train wreck has never looked so good.

And honestly, train wreck is a bit of an overstatement. My fan relationship with Miley has fluctuated over the years - I was a fan of Hannah Montana, not gonna lie, and her eagerness to "shed her G-rated Disney image" was frustrating for me. I've never understood the need for child celebrities to go a bit off the deep end once they grow up, but I have never been a child celebrity so I have no idea what their lives are like and I've come to the realization that if Miley was just a normal college-age girl, no one would be batting an eyelash if she were smoking weed or dancing suggestively at a house party.

Yes, Miley is a public figure and thus should consider her actions and how they might influence others to follow in her footsteps. She has made many mistakes this year and I don't agree with all of her actions. But she's young, she's learning how to live and that involves making mistakes, and we just have to let her do her thing and hope she'll find what she's searching for. And you must admit, she's actually pretty level-headed when interviewed about topics that matter, like love and being true to yourself.

So, polarizing behavior aside, it's been a great year for Miley Cyrus. Despite the ridiculous title, Bangerz is awesome and I recommend you all go listen to it. And though the video is entirely silly (as are the countless parodies) "Wrecking Ball" is a beautiful song and the first time I heard it (before the video came out) I was like, yes, this is awesome. Though "The Climb" will forever be my all-time favorite Miley Cyrus song, Bangerz showed us that Miley has some serious musical talent.

Miley's also completely transformed her look this year. She ditched her long hair for a platinum pixie cut that sparked a mass trend of discarding long layers of hair for shorter looks, and when she's not wearing teddy bear onesies or suggestive foam fingers, she can be seen wearing Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler. She's a true style chameleon - one day she'll be rocking a 90s-style outfit with a crop top and vintage Versace, the next she'll be sleek and chic in relaxed suits. Like every other young 20-something, she's trying to find her style and she's experimenting with all sorts of trends and fashions. There are occasional misses, yes, but when Miley gets a look right it is spot-on.

This has been a crazy year for Miley Cyrus, and it's doubtful that 2014 will be any less of a roller coaster ride (or swing on a wrecking ball, take your pick) for the shining star that is Miley Cyrus. We can't wait to see all the outrageous OMG moments and fashion choices she'll make come the new year, and you know that whatever she does next, we'll all be talking about it. And anyway, isn't that the point?

2013 has been a knockout year for Kerry Washington. Her hit show Scandal continues to impress audiences and critics alike week after week (I promise I'm going to binge-watch it this winter break!) and she just earned a Golden Globe nod for her performance in the drama TV series, she showed America that she could rock funny material when she hosted SNL, and has in general wowed the world with her lovable personality.

Kerry's also made waves in the world of fashion. Her style is rather poised and ladylike, but she's not afraid to mix things up every once and a while and take a fashion dare. It's incredibly rare that a woman can rock both a tea-length frock and an ultra-minidress with the same amount of elegance, but Kerry Washington manages to do so with ease.

The adventures of Olivia Pope are far from over, and we can't wait to see all the scandalous and stylish moments that Kerry Washington will continue to deliver.

It's no secret that I've developed a bit of a style crush on it girl Holland Roden over the course of 2013. How can you not, though? Roden is young and having fun with fashion, and knows how to combine California cool with Hollywood glamour.

As everyone's favorite Prada-toting, archaic Latin-reading queen bee on MTV's Teen Wolf, of course Roden's on-screen persona is known for her stylish garb, but in real life Holland Roden is just as fashionable whether she is just walking around in West LA or strutting down the red carpet in a gown.

Roden made several front-row appearances at New York Fashion Week back in September and I'm sure she'll be back for all the fall collections. Her gorgeous red hair and penchant for bold color are two of her style trademarks. But besides that, Roden isn't afraid to experiment with style and dress up a little. The Naeem Khan dress-with-pants-underneath (center outfit, above) that she rocked at the VMAs this year was a style risk that paid off and landed her on many best-dressed lists.

Teen Wolf is returning soon and has already been renewed, so we will certainly be seeing a lot of Miss Holland Roden in 2014. Can't wait to see what she wears!

There's no doubt that the breakout music artist of 2013 was Lorde, the young songstress from New Zealand that took the world by storm with her hit single, "Royals." I remember first hearing "Royals" while driving home from LA one weekend and being absolutely mesmerized by Lorde's powerful vocals. It was always a treat when I heard the intro's recognizable beat come on the radio. Apparently I wasn't the only one that was was in love, and the song made its way from the alternative to the pop stations. Everyone was hooked.

But don't call Lorde a one-hit wonder. Her debut album Pure Heroine is full of hits ("Team" and "Tennis Court" are my personal favorites). Lorde has won over the masses with her brilliant songs, her sweet demeanor, and her cool-girl-goth style - seriously, she could be a guest star on American Horror Story: Coven with her modern witch clothing.

Lorde's style signatures: black on black on black, plum lips, combat boots, and that iconic curly hair that gives Brave's Merida a run for her money. She is cool and laid-back but having fun with her style as she gets accustomed to the spotlight.

So what's next for Lorde in 2014? With three Grammy nods (including Record and Song of the Year) and more music in the works, we are definitely going to be seeing a lot more of Lorde. She may not be blue-blooded, but she sure is on her way to pop royalty.

Mindy Kaling has got it all - she's beautiful, fashionable, hilariously funny, and really smart. It's hard not to have a good year when you have all that going for you, but 2013 was Mindy's best one yet.

Her hit TV show The Mindy Project is one of my absolute favorites, and in it's second season it's definitely found its groove (let's hope the show's small upcoming hiatus doesn't kill that momentum). Before that, Mindy made people laugh both on-screen and behind-the-scenes as a star and writer for The Office, and last year her memoir Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) made people fall in love with her unapologetic humor and charm.

Honestly, I may or may not be a bit biased. I have probably said (on multiple occasions) that "Mindy Kaling is my spirit animal" and I cannot even be embarrassed about it because it's just true. Mindy is so cool, and she's cool not because she pretends to be perfect but because she embraces the fact that women are complex and imperfect and can be brilliant doctors but still care about the Khloe-Lamar breakup more than is probably necessary and believe that scenes straight out of romantic comedies can actually occur in real life.

Mindy has sass, that's for sure, and it shows up in her tweets and red carpet ensembles alike (as well as her on-screen persona's wardrobe, which is full of Madewell and Kate Spade and totally trendy but also very realistic and reasonably-priced). She's not afraid of a bold color or geometric print, and she can be both fun and glamorous with her outfits.

If you aren't already on the Mindy fan train, you might want to hop on because there's no doubt that Mindy Kaling is going places.

When you get constant comparisons to Mariah Carey, you know you're dealing with a star.

Ariana Grande burst onto the music scene this year with her hit single "The Way" featuring Mac Miller and has become a household name in a very short matter of time. Grande got her start out on Nickelodeon's Victorious (and subsequent spin-off Sam & Cat) but the teenage songstress truly shines when she is belting out the high notes.

Currently you can listen to Grande's four new Christmas songs, including her original "Snow in California" - which is adorable, because it makes me think of the Disney Channel Original Movie The Ultimate Christmas Present and then I get all excited for the (im)possibility of snow in Los Angeles.

Grande's fashion sense is just as sultry and sweet as her music. She's a big fan of full skirts, floral prints, and candy colors. There's a bit of a vintage vibe going on, but Grande always appears fresh and up-to-date, rather than stuffy and old-fashioned.

She also has a signature half-up/half-down hairstyle - I'd love to see something a little different once and a while, but if it ain't broke I guess there's no need to fix it!

2013 has been a tremendous success for Ariana, and there's no doubt that her hot streak will continue on straight into the new year.

It's hard to believe that 2014 will mark the tenth anniversary of Mean Girls (yikes, I am getting old) and it's even harder to believe that Lizzy Caplan played everyone's favorite goth androgynous badass Janis Ian.

Beneath all that heavy eyeliner and dark clothing was an absolute stunner, and ten years after the beloved film Lizzy Caplan is still going strong.

Last year Caplan starred in the raunchy Bachelorette (which wasn't my favorite, but Caplan was still great) and guest starred on New Girl as Nick's girlfriend, but with the success of the new show Masters of Sex on Showtime, Lizzy Caplan has truly outdone herself.

On the show Caplan portrays Virginia Johnson, a determined woman living in the 1950s who aids scientist William Masters in an intriguing and controversial study of - you guessed it - sex. Caplan is as charming as her fifties wardrobe, and off-screen she is just as lovely.

Caplan's signature style is decidedly feminine and bold, with bright lips and fun colors. She is certainly enjoying the spotlight and making each appearance a noteworthy one with her scene-stealing fashion sense.

Janis Ian may not approve of Caplan's fun and girly fashions, but we sure do!

Zendaya became a serious contender for the "Girls of 2013" list when I saw her American Music Awards look (second from the right). I had to do a double-take - was that really the girl from Disney's Shake It Up? And how does someone who is two years younger than I am look so much more mature than me!?

I had to do some investigating.

What I found was that Zendaya has some serious style. She can look cool and mature one day and then fun and youthful the next - exactly how a teen starlet should be! Now is the time for experimenting, and I love how Zendaya takes a fun but poised approach to fashion.

With Selena, Demi, and Miley safely out of the Disney sphere, it's time for a new round of child and teen stars to take the stage (and the covers of TeenVogue). Zendaya has stepped into that role quite well (and with cute shoes, too!) and I look forward to see many great things from her in the future!
