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.

Robert Pattinson has won a legion of female fans with his portrayal of Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight‘ movies and now it seems he’s become a hit with men.
Robert’s slightly messy hairstyle is now one of the most requested looks at salon’s across the world as young males pay homage to Hollywood‘s latest heartthrob and the cut is set to stay popular for the rest of the year.
Former UK men’s hairdresser of the year Jamie Stevens – who is artistic director at the prestigious Errol Douglas salon in Knightsbridge, London – said of the style and others set to be big in 2010: ‘The versatile slightly longer style with the quiff can be styled up or slicked back and is very adaptable as it can look both dressy and messy. Other key trends for 2010 are short blond hair for a really sharp look. Undercutting is also very on trend, as you can see from David Beckham.’
While younger men may copy Robert and David’s look, the older man can follow in George Clooney‘s footsteps by embracing their greying locks, as the silver look is in.
Jamie – hairdresser to Hugh Grant and TV presenter Gok Wan – added to BANG Showbiz: ‘Traditionally men have covered up their grey with sometimes obvious darker colour – it’s a high maintenance look and you have to keep colouring. For my older men who may be going a little grey, I suggest embracing it – have an ash toner on greying hair to give a more silver feel, a la George Clooney, which looks cleaner and more on trend. And the best bit is, it only takes 15 minutes.’
To achieve this look an ash toner is applied for five minutes to strip out any dullness or yellow tones. It’s not a drastic change, but leaves hair much cleaner and silver looking. The treatment is done at the backwash so just looks like you’re having a shampoo.
