All these famous beauties took a turn on the ramp in 2010, but who had the best look and sassiest attitude? Take our poll and let us know.
The rules of modelling obviously don't apply to our stars -- short or tall, voluptuous or slim, young or old, they receive a huge welcome whenever they step out in a designer's best creation at fashion shows.
Here's a look at some of the hotties who've strutted their stuff on the catwalk this year -- vote and let us know who dazzled the most!

When you're an ex-model, you know how to make sure you're the cynosure of all eyes. Take a look at Kat doing her thing at the the India International Jewellery Week, dripping diamonds by Laxmi Jewellers and wearing a Neeta Lulla lehenga.
