She has only recently joined the royal family but already the Duchess of Cambridge is the queen of British fashion, according to UK style magazine Harper's Bazaar.
The 29-year-old who married Prince William in April in front of a global audience estimated at some two billion people, has topped the 2011 British best-dressed list, published in the latest edition of the glossy yesterday.
"Catherine's incredible style evolution has gripped us all," Bazaar UK editor Lucy Yeomans said on the publication's website.
"She gave us the year's - if not the century's - most thrilling fashion moment at the royal wedding, and is shaping up as an amazing ambassador for British designers and the high street."
A panel of judges including Yeomans, designer Antonio Berardi, milliner Philip Treacy and designer Roksanda Ilincic decided unanimously that Catherine should be crowned the 2011 winner.
