Recently, Marissa Mayer was included in Complex magazine's now infamous "40 Hottest Women in Tech" slide show, a piece that reduced Mayer's many accomplishments-her Stanford credentials, her contributions at Google, her perch as the youngest C.E.O. at a Fortune 500 company-down to the fact that she is merely an attractive woman who works in Silicon Valley.

Any powerful women whose closet is a Skittle bag of bright gowns by Jean Paul Gaultier, Sarah Burton, Oscar de la Renta, and vintage Balenciaga deserves the attention her garments command.
