Victoria Beckham's style has left us in awe

Victoria Beckham has firmly cemented her role in the fashion industry, especially with another widely hailed collection shown as New York Fashion Week recently, and the designer has now been hailed as the biggest style icon.

From her days in Spice Girls, where Posh revived our love of the Little Black Dress, to now when she directs the trends with her widely successful fashion label, Victoria Beckham is completely worthy of her style icon status.

The One Poll survey commissioned by new fashion monthly title - HELLO! Fashion Monthly - has revealed that Victoria Beckham is our biggest style crush, coming in with nearly a fifth of the vote.

And the rest of the top three proves that us Brits are certainly a stylish lot, former Harry Potter star Emma Watson comes in second place with iconic model Kate Moss rounding off the top three.

Interestingly, our US counterparts only represent 30% of the new best-dressed list – with Olivia Palermo voted as the most stylish American, in 4^th position. Hollywood star Jessica Alba has also secured a position in the top ten (7^th) thanks to her relaxed, girl-next-door look.

Hilary Alexander OBE, Editor-at-Large at HELLO! Fashion Monthly, comments:

“It’s great to see such a high percentage of British women represented within HELLO! Fashion Monthly’s new list of the most stylish stars.

“As a nation, we are really dominating the industry at present, with top designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Burberry, Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, Alice Temperley, Jenny Packham, Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou excelling on the global stage, so it is fantastic that our style ambassadors are also following suit.

“It is also interesting to note that there is a great range of ages represented within the list – emphasising that style doesn’t come with an age limit.”
