Good news, the design for my WordPress blog egographies is currently listed on the CSS Vault front page and has quickly climbed to the very first places of the WordPress Top Sites!
As a result, I get more comments on my design and some mistakes have been pointed out, which I will correct in the next version. Already working on it.

Congrats Thierry! I understand how proud it makes you to go to your stats and see nothin' but referrers from CSSVault (mine was listed about a week before yours)
Nice to see some more WP sites pop up in the Vault!

Well not really fantastic, and some might say not very original, I designed my WordPress BLOG to look like the rest of my (already existing) site. Not being a designer or a web programmer at all, I was pretty pleased with how it turned out: http://www.br-eng.info/words/

Of course I would say mine... but of course I'm massively biased. And it also helps that I'm the only one with my theme.

There are some other themes I've seen, though, that I really, REALLY like.

WarAxe: Not bad. I'm usually not a big fan of white-on-black websites, but yours pulls it off quite nicely. Bravo. As for me (*BLATANT PLUG!*), I'll stick to my theme: not quite kubrick enough to look like 75% of all blogs out there (only 45%, but with a random image header), but not original enough to offend anyone I don't want to offend.

I really like what has been done with Michael Yon's site (powered by WordPress):

Whether a design is good depends on the purpose it's intended for. What is the purpose of your site? If your site is a personal blog, WP has a bazillion designs that work quite well for that, as proven through their use on thousands and thousands of sites. If you want to use WP as a CMS, there are a lot fewer good designs, but there are still some. Semiologic themes are great, though you have to use the Semiologic plugins for them to work.

The best design I've seen for just about any WordPress-powered blog (I'm pretty sure it's a WP-powered blog) is Binary Moon. I don't know whether or not that is a downloadable theme, however. (I haven't seen it anywhere else, so I don't think it is. That's the same guy that did the Regulus theme.) From having looked at it I can tell that a LOT of work went into it: code is clean, content is near the top, great SEO layout, and good UI look/feel. Were that I could code like that...

(As it is, I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag. Unless it was one of those small kwik-e-mart alcohol bottle bags, but definitelly not one of those big grocery store bags.)

very few WordPress powered sites that actually use wordpress as a CMS but have the look and feel of a real website not a blog but the one at http://www.michaelyon-online.com/ really impressed me. Another one I remarked today accidentally is the one at http://xxlmag.com/ which looks cool. If you know others like these ones then post them here i am very curious about such designs.
