Best dressed Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole has retained her crown as the world’s best dressed woman.

The ‘Fight for This Love‘ singer beat off competition from models and actresses to claim the title in the UK edition of Glamour magazine for a second year – while list staples such as Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham slipped down to seventh and eighth places respectively.

Kate previously topped the poll in 2008, while Victoria couldn’t retain last year’s third place.

Cheryl has recently sported a series of figure hugging outfits, typically smart with short, neat skirts, or cut away harem pants, accessorised with hats, as she promoted her new solo material.

Second place went to singer Rihanna while ‘Gossip Girl‘ actress Blake Lively came third.

Rihanna donned a series of tight cutaway outfits and a strong urban, heavy metal and military influence during the latter half of 2009, promoting her latest album ‘Rated R‘.

Blake is a key figure in US fashion and has been praised for her abilities to carry off both casual bohemian style and catwalk dresses, and she has been tipped to replace actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the fashion stakes.

Newcomers to the list include Lady Gaga, Florence Welch, Pixie Lott, Leona Lewis and Kristen Stewart.

Robert Pattinson was named the best dressed man by the magazine while Katie Price was named worst dressed woman, and, alongside with her husband Alex Reid, worst dressed couple.

Lady Gaga wants well-dressed stars

Lady Gaga hates casually dressed celebrities.

The ‘Telephone‘ singer – who is famed for her eccentric fashion sense – believes stars should make an effort when they appear at red carpet events as she thinks it’s something the fans deserve.

She said: ‘I think you should look nice all the time. When I meet celebrities and they’re in casual clothes, I’m always like, ‘Whaaat?’ I don’t mean to be judgmental, but it would do them better to be who they really are, all the time. When I get out of a car and there are 30 fans waiting for me, I know I’m dressed the way I should be. There’s a reason they have that emotional reaction.’

The 24-year-old star also admitted her image is highly sexed but denied rumours she buys her clothes from sex stores.

She told Britain’s OK! magazine: ‘Everybody loves sex. I would love to be introduced to one person on the planet that does not love sex.

‘I don’t buy my clothes from sex shops. I just recently have had a love affair with S+M clothing and masks as I love the idea of telling stories with no face. I believe in some things very strongly and that is the power of showbiz.’
