10. Kristen Stewart
It was a rough year for Twilight's leading lady. But by the time the red carpet rolled out at the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere, Robsten was unbroken and K.Stew was back on top.
9. Lindsay Lohan
LiLo faced some legal trouble at the beginning of the year...and at the end. But somewhere in the middle there was a brief, fleeting moment of courtroom happiness.
7. Prince Harry
While he may have had more talked about pictures this year (cough leaked cell phone shots of his royal toosh cough), we just love seeing our favorite prince party rocking in Vegas.
6. Miley Cyrus
It was the year of Instagram, and no filtered photo made quite as big a splash as when Liam Hemsworth's fiancée posted this foreboding shot. And now, a moment of silence for the Miley bun.
4. Beyoncé & Blue Ivy
Whatever people may have whispered about Jay-Z and his wife during her pregnancy, there's no question about the love shared in this adorable pic of new mom and daughter.
3. McKayla Maroney
At least one gymnast might not have been as in awe of the summer Olympics as the rest of us. And she sparked an Internet-wide meme with her signature scowl. To be brief, McKayla Maroney is not impressed.
1. Barack and Michelle Obama
"Four more years," the president captioned this photo, which he tweeted out on election night. The loving shot of the first family went on to become the most retweeted picture ever.
