Kate Middleton Makes Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List
No surprises here: The Duchess of Cambridge, Michelle Obama, and Lady Gaga have all been named to Vanity Fair’s annual International Best-Dressed List.
Catherine, billed as the “wife of the future King of England,” has been given the honor once before, in 2008, while Michelle Obama has been a Best-Dressed honoree for the last four years. (Though this is the first time she appears with her husband in the Best-Dressed Couples category.) Lady Gaga has been named a Fashion Original for the second year in a row.
Meanwhile, on the men's side, Justin Timberlake, Colin Firth, and chef Marcus Samuelsson are some of the guys who ranked, and NBC news anchor Brian Williams claimed a spot on the Hall of Fame list.
Lauren Bush and David Lauren make the couple’s list, and the gorgeous Delevigne and Courtin-Clarins sisters (that would be Cara, Chloe, and Poppy Delevigne; and Claire, Jenna, Prisca, and Virginie Courtin-Clarins) earned spots in the siblings category.
See below for the highlights of this year’s best-dressed, and check out the full list.
