Vote: Who's the Most-Fashionable Finalist?

Food Network Star Season 9

If this season's  Food Network Star contestants want to take home the ultimate title in a few months, they'll need more than just fancy knife skills and a winning smile; hopefuls must dress the part of a star as well, showing off their individuality and signature style with clothes and accessories both on camera and off.

Last week, fans met the finalists for the first time, and even after just one episode, it's clear that each of the competitors lets his or her personality shine through their wardrobe in the form of bold prints, bright colors, soft fabrics and flirty footwear. Former rock 'n' roller Rodney sported a feathered top hat, while Viet donned dark-rimmed specs and a sleek sport coat and Russell embraced a casual, comfortable collection of T-shirts and sweaters. The ladies, too, modeled an array of pieces, including a red-and-black leopard-print blouse worn by Lovely, a fringed vest on Daniela and sky-high ankle boots on Stacey.

Now that you're familiar with the contestants and have a better sense of their styles, we're challenging you, Star fans, to choose this season's most-fashionable finalist. Who do you think is dressed to impress? Cast your vote in this Fan Poll up to 10 times per day until June 10 . Need a reminder of the looks you saw on Sunday night?
