KATE Middleton and Prince Harry lead Vanity Fair's international best-dressed list, following a year in which all eyes have been on the young members of the British monarchy.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 30, whose husband is Harry's brother Prince William, will grace the September cover of the magazine's newsstand editions after a year of setting style trends and wowing fashionistas with her mix of designer and high street wardrobe choices in her first year of official duties.
The magazine said Prince Charles spent an estimated US$55,000 on designer clothes for his daughter-in-law but Middleton had declined the services of a royal dresser. Instead, she selected her own wardrobe from designers such as Alice Temperley and Alexander McQueen, as well as stores such as Topshop and TK Maxx.
Prince Harry, 27, led the best-dressed men followed by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
The Vanity Fair best-dressed rundown is voted for by more than 2,000 fashion industry professionals, journalists and taste-makers as well as the best-dressed Hall of Fame members.
Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain, who will grace the September cover for subscribers' editions, made her debut on the best-dressed list for her bold fashion choices, including her Alexander McQueen dress at this year's Oscars.
She was joined by fellow actresses Diane Kruger, Fan Bingbing, Lea Seydoux, model Elettra Wiedemann and musician Alicia Keys.
Rapper Jay-Z joined Prince Harry and Brady in the style rundown newcomers, beating wife Beyonce, who failed to make the top 10.
The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were not the only royals to be included. The women's list acknowledged best-dressed veterans Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, as well as Gucci model Charlotte Casiraghi, fourth in line to the Monaco throne.
British actor Colin Firth and wife Livia made the best-dressed couples list, and New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, 81, was named a "fashion original."
