What do Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristin Davis aka Charlotte from Sex and the City, and George Clooney's girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, President Obama, and Princess Kate Middleton all have in common? They all look beautiful in their aprons!

Evolution of Aprons to Pop Culture

With ABC's Desperate Housewives coming to an end in its eight season, a major feat, fans will miss seeing Bree Van de Kamp's (Marcia Crosss) exquisitely designed apron ensembles. Bree's eclectic mix of aprons ranged from charming vintage to smart clean-lined contemporary design. Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) also showed their love for stylish aprons.

Style-watching fans will just have to look forward to the next season of AMC's Mad Men, rumored to return sometime in early 2012. Betty Draper (January Jones) is the essence of the 1960s retro charm, and she knows that her character's ensembles have had a profound effect on current fashion. Featured in the 12 Most Stylish TV Housewives of All Time, Betty's aprons are one critical component of her stylish wardrobe.
