A new husband, a new look, a HUGE raise and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — this was the year Kaley Cuoco (now Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) solidified her spot on Hollywood’s A-list. The blond beauty, who plays Penny on CBS’ hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” has had a super successful 2014, making her FOX411’s Celebrity of the Year.

The new Mrs. Sweeting kicked 2014 off right, with a New Year’s Eve wedding in a stylish yet unconventional blush-colored gown.

In January, the bubbly actress took home a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Comedic TV Actress in 2014, exemplifying just how many fans she’s won over as the only non-science geek star on “Big Bang.”

"To my new husband, this is the second best thing that's happened to me all year," she said after the big win. "The first was marrying you!"

She then shocked her fans by chopping off her long locks in favor of a bold pixie cut. Oh yeah, and she and the other “Big Bang” cast members negotiated big raises for themselves, which are rumored to be in the neighborhood of $1 million per episode.

In what had to be a not-so-great part of the year, Cuoco saw her private nude pics leak online, but she handled the scandal well — posting a joke photo on Instagram and shrugging off the hack attack that many celebs found themselves victims of.

In October, Cuoco earned a shiny new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she was snapped getting emotional at the ceremony attended by her cast mates.

"This is a dream come true and I am forever grateful," she said during the ceremony.

Honorable mentions:

Sure, there were other stars who had a great 2014. Sadie Robertson kicked some serious butt on “Dancing with the Stars,” and Angelina Jolie finally married Brad Pitt (in a gown covered in drawings her kids made no less) — but, if you ask us, Kaley takes the cake this year.
