But I am shocked that Letizia was rated second - the photo shown is over 4 years old taken at the Fred/Mary wedding. That was the very last time that Letizia showed any real fashion flair, and to me, it has been downhill ever since. Her second place is a joke.
Princess Letizia is in the official list of Vanity fair.As far as I have understood, Crown Princess Letizia is not mentioned in the official list.
Well, I could not find her in this list. Is there a longer version of the list?
The International Best-Dressed List: Style: vanityfair.com
It's two different lists - one done by Vanity Fair and another one done by readers of Vanity Fair. The best dressed woman by Vanity Fair is Ivanka Trump with best dressed royal CP Mathilde rank 9 (Kate Middleton is no royal yet). The readers of Vanity Fair (who can vote how often they want by the way) think that CP Letizia is best dressed but the fact that her picture is 4 1/2 years old and shows her in the only dress that ever looked spectaclar on her says it all.

I wonder what other women you refer to... I dare to presume that the late Princess Diana was far more popular and admired worldwide.T...
Other women have never wore a dress so spectacular and admired worldwide.
....
Given the explanations by Duke of Marmalade (see post#33), I believe that you are absolutely right.

I am totally confused and I believe you have misunderstood what I meant. It is great that Crown Princess Letizia wore such a spectacular red dress. However, I highly doubt that all royal ladies copied her look. It is impossible for me to say that Crown Princess Mathilde copied the famous dress. If my memory serves me right, Crown Princess Letizia was often compared to Queen Rania as their overall style bears similarities.Dear Al bina,
I do not remember that a princess´s DRESS actually has been so laureate like that red dress.I'm not saying something not already known, it is evident that the dress was highly admired and copied throughout the world;precisely, princess Mathilde wore a dress with a cut very similar to that Letizia wore in Denmark but in orange.

Anyone is free to correct me, but I think that Vanity Fair list considers the overall style of dressing, not just a single dress. I believe that any further arguments will prove fruitless. So it would better to stop here.

I have never said that all the royals ladies copying that dress. The red dress was highly admired and copied. For example, Princess Laurentin copied the red dress of Letizia, by the way, a very bad copy. And princess Mathilde wore a very similar dress (I do not remember when this was),including the brooch that Letizia also wore in the famous dress.
Marie-Chantal is already a member of the VF hall of fame since 1999. According to VF this is “highest honor a sartorial savant can receive.” (Sounds pretty pompous and this is why all these lists shouldn´t be taken too serious IMVHO)To be honest, although not a favourite of mine, I was surprised Marie Chantal was not on the list. If nothing else that lady is always at least 2 seasons ahead of all of the rest....
To be well dressed hasn't got anything to do with weight. It is about how you compose your outfit. On can weigh 150 kg or 25 kg and still show excellent tast in clothing.

Not sure about it, but perhaps the hall of fame members don´t reappear on the annual lists after their “canonization”.
Dear Camarina
. Could we say that Crown Princess Letizia copied Queen Rania?
I have on my desk the copy of the Vanity Fair (September 08). I am not trying to take anything away from anyone but the "International Best Dressed List" does not include Letizia at all. Ivanka Trump Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni are the first 3 on the list.
The poll where Letizia is part of (among others) is an on line poll and the results are not in yet. One can go and vote for anyone 100 times if they wish. It means as much.
