Princess Kate has secured a place among Britain's most enduring style icons in British Vogue's debut 50 Best Dressed List, released today.

The Princess of Wales, 43, joins an elite cohort dubbed "Eternal Influencers" that includes Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Alexa Chung, and Sienna Miller.


These are figures whose fashion influence has shaped British style across generations.

The magazine's landmark ranking celebrates individuals who have defined and elevated the nation's sartorial identity over the past year.

Kate's carefully curated wardrobe, which seamlessly fuses contemporary trends with traditional elements, has established a fresh standard for royal dressing in 2025.

One notable omission from the prestigious ranking is Meghan Markle, who failed to make the cut despite a year of carefully orchestrated public appearances.

The Duchess of Sussex attended Paris Fashion Week in a widely publicised effort to reassert her fashion credentials, yet this proved insufficient to secure her a position.

Instead, the 44-year-old was overlooked in favour of names including Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo, Keira Knightley, and beloved television personality Mary Berry.

The Princess of Wales's polished approach to fashion has positioned her firmly at the heart of Britain's contemporary style identity.

Her connection with Victoria Beckham extends beyond their shared list placement.

The Princess regularly selects pieces from the designer's label for its refined tailoring and sophisticated silhouettes.

Earlier this year, Kate appeared in a complete Victoria Beckham ensemble, an outfit widely viewed as a gesture of support for the designer's popular Netflix documentary.

The inaugural list establishes a new standard for acknowledging those who influence how Britain dresses.

The Princess's inclusion underscores her status as one of her generation's most consistently impactful dressers.
