Which Kate takes the crown?

Moss and Middleton's stylish year London – Caroline Kent The best dressed stars of 2012 came from a variety of old-school fashion favourites and red-carpet stalwarts, to newcomer creatives and unexpected sartorialists. The Duchess of Cambridge has this year earned her stripes with the fashion-set with a carefully curated wardrobe of Erdem, McQueen and Prabal Gurung. Cara Delevingne and Edie Campbell surfaced as hot faces, both fronting a number of campaigns and shows whilst emerging as taste makers in their own right with their similarly fun and youthful approach to modern androgynous femininity. Kristen Stewart was another left-fielder who stole the spotlight with her sartorial choices just as frequently as with her personal scandals. The muse and face for Balenciaga's former creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, she took on an edgy, high-fashion persona that was said: “love me or loathe me, I dont care, I'm here to stay”. Fashion's perennial muse Kate Moss celebrated the year in which she launched her self-titled book with an assemblage of seventies-inspired romantic rock'n'roll luxe looks. She took gold in the style stakes at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games watched by millions in an Alexander McQueen dress.
