High up in the glamour stakes

As if she hasn’t had enough problems over the past year, it seems that Kate Moss has finally fallen from grace by losing the number one spot in Glamour magazine’s best-dressed list.

Modesty, sophistication and perhaps the sympathy vote have secured Kylie’s position as the new style queen. And considering Kylie was a lowly 26th place last year, the 38 year old’s softer, chicer appearance is obviously a good look.

Glamour editor Jo Elvin said: "We've seen a newer, softer-looking Kylie emerge this year - she's still sexy, but she's not flaunting that side of herself in gold hotpants any more.

"She's letting it shine through subtly, with a classic personal style that women really identify with."

The Australian star has adopted a Parisian chic look since moving to the French capital with boyfriend Olivier Martinez.

Supermodel Moss slipped to fourth place in the fashion rankings while Pete Doherty didn’t do her any favours, when he was named the worst dressed male.

Despite tragic book sales, Victoria Beckham has risen to second place in this year's list.

"She isn't afraid of fashion and you never know what look she'll embrace next," said Glamour.

Nicole Richie is third, regardless of looking like a clothes hanger.

Glamour said there was "something very Grace Kelly" about the daughter of singing star Lionel Richie. What exactly? Her sunglasses?

David Beckham was crowned best dressed man.

But Glamour also named and shamed the worst dressed of 2006.

Footballer Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran was rated the worst style offender, ahead of Jodie Marsh, Beyonce, Britney Spears and Jordan.
