Fashion Tabloid powerhouses like Vanity Fair have announced their list of best-Dressed Celebrities for the year 2012. People featuring in the exclusive list comprise the cr?me de la cr?me of the fashion world and consist of an alluring assortment of fashion-savvy royals, celebrities, corporate executives and the occasional sports personalities who displayed flawless fashion etiquettes both on and off the field. However, it?s the stylish and the latest entrant to the royal fold, the charming Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton who took home the honors of being this year’s most fashionable celebrity, followed by personalities like Jay Z, Jessica Chastain, Matthew Lauer and the rest….
Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton is the new style icon and the unvanquished queen of elegance. The newly anointed royal has made her way onto popular fashion tabloid Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed list for the third year in a row, and fashion pundits concur that it was no big surprise to see her finally clinch the top position. Whether it?s couture on the red carpet that she may don or her beloved Zara heels for a day out in London, the Duchess of Cambridge looks every bit the style icon so envied by women all over the world.
Jessica Chastain
When it comes to red carpet appearances, Jessica Chastain wears anything out of the blue with refreshing aplomb and grace. The attractive redhead astounded onlookers in a spectacular gold and black gown designed by Alexander McQueen gown at the 2012 Academy Awards, only to top it up in a glittering Gucci dress at the Cannes film festival in May.
Jay-Z
Rapper Jay-Z seems to be borrowing fashion tips quite frequently from his style icon wife Beyonce Knowles. The debonair rapper was a startling addition to this year?s Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed list. But judging by the Tom Ford tuxedos that he flaunted during after-parties of his benefit concerts this year, he has surely graduated to the select group of fashion trendsetters.
Diane Kruger
Known for her risqu? sense of fashion, Diane Kruger always chooses the right combinations to get those gorgeous looks that she is famous for. The beautiful fair-haired actress is an accepted entrant among best-dressed lists everywhere, and Vanity Fair’s was no exception either.
Matt Lauer
Matt Lauer has always had his distinctly exuberant way of hosting talk shows. And it seems even Vanity Fair agreed that his flair for adding a touch of elegance to his talk shows imbues oodles of class and style thereby including him in their list of best dressed celebrities.
Alicia Keys
At first glance, Alicia Keys might not seem to be the ideal candidate for a mention in the list of the best dressed celebrities of the world, but a stunning body hugging ensemble worn by the singer at the 2012 Billboard Music award erased all doubts regarding the merits of such a mention.
Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney is a force to reckon with in the elitist fashion circles of the world courtesy her omnipresent fashion label popular among celebrities too. It was therefore obvious that she would get a mention in the list of best dressed celebrities thanks to the class of her own personal wardrobe.
Bill Cunningham
The octogenarian Fashion photographer from New York is anything but old fashioned. His impeccable dressing sense finds him a mention in the list of best dressed celebrities much like some of the trendsetting clients that he snaps.
Lauren and Andres Santo Domingo
Vogue contributing editor and Moda Operandi co-founder Lauren is a well known fashion critique. Whereas high flying music executive husband Andreas Santo Domingo is a respected figure in the music industry. Together they represent the ideal power couple to find a mention in the list of best dressed celebrities.
Conclusion
The 2012 best dressed celebrity list compiled by Vanity Fair has been magnanimous enough in including people from different walks of life in their reckoning. The common thread binding all the names is the shared attribute of impeccable dressing senses inspiring generations to follow their style and class. Barring the usual attendees to the list, the 2012 catalog has an interesting mix of corporate executives, business tycoons, photographers etc. usually less inclined to the latest fashion trends making waves. Yet Vanity Fair was discerning enough to identify those traits that enable these people to make a distinctly different yet equally elegant style statement vis-a-vis their more fashionable counterparts.
