Duchess of Cambridge leads the style set on Vanity Fair Best Dressed list with 'whirlwind of fashion successes'

By Daisy Dumas and Paul Thompson


Kate Middleton has been named one of the best dressed women in the world.

She was the star attraction of Vanity Fair magazine's annual International Best Dressed list for women.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who won rave reviews for the succession of outfits worn on her recent North America tour with Prince William, is recognised internationally for her elegant style.

She joins Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as the most high profile women on the 72nd list compiled by the glossy magazine.

The magazine said of Kate: 'A whirlwind of fashion successes since has earned her a nod this year.

'She’s captivated the world with her signature mix of high and low fashion.'

She appeared on the list for the first time in 2008 and this year earns a place for the first time as a British royal. Vanity Fair notes her signature style of Issa wrap dresses and praises her Alexander McQueen wedding dress.

Other royals on the list include Princess Charlene of Monaco, the new wife of Prince Albert, and Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, the wife of the Emir of Qatar and a UNESCO special envoy.

Two British stars, actresses Carey Mulligan and Tilda Swinton, who is the face of Pringle, are also named for their style.

Oscar winner Colin Firth and F1 racing driver Jenson Button are two of the British stars featuring on the men's Best Dressed list.

Star of Friends with Benefits, Justin Timberlake, and writer Nicholas Foulkes are also recognised.

Lady Gaga is named as one of fashion originals of 2011, mostly notably for a dress made of real beef cuts that she controversially wore to the MTV Awards show last September.
