Prada

And the winner is....actress Minka Kelly was just crowned 'Sexiest Woman Alive' by Esquire magazine, joining the ranks of  esteemed SWA alum like Kate Beckinsale, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, and Angelina Jolie. Many, however, wonder: who in the world is this gorgeous diva with the cool name? Thirty-year-old Minka starred in the series Friday Night Lights and is currently guest starring on NBC's Parenthood. She's soon to be seen in the upcoming horror film, The Roommate, and a comedy, Searching for Sonny, that's in the works. She is also the daughter of former Aerosmith guitarist, Rick Dufay. But she may be best known as N.Y. Yankee hottie, Derek Jeter's main squeeze.  She's all glam in these sexy Prada shades--a perfect compliment to her new title. Have a feeling Minka's going to get a whole lot more recognition in the coming year.  --rpuccia Buy these now: Prada PR20IS, $162

Prada has always been distinctive not only for its high quality, but also for its forward-thinking approach and style, enabling the brand to anticipate and often orientate trends across all sectors. Sophisticated, elegant and refined, Prada products are identified by their very strong character and unique style. These characteristics also apply to the range of eyeglasses proposed in the "vista" (spectacles) and "sole" (sun) collections, and also to a series of models created for leisure time, identified by the unmistakeable red stripe.
