Actress GWYNETH PALTROW has been voted the most stylish British woman in an annual poll in Harper's Bazaar magazine, despite being American.
The SLIDING DOORS star, who lives in London with her COLDPLAY singer husband CHRIS MARTIN, beat out competition from supermodel KATE MOSS and actress THANDIE NEWTON, in second and third place respectively.
SIR BOB GELDOF's daughter PEACHES, meanwhile, was the youngest icon to make the list at seventh place.
The fashion bible claims Paltrow's transformation from American girl-next-door to edgy Londoner grabbed their attention.
Fashion editor SARA BUYS says, "Gwyneth used to embody the idea of the East Coast, privileged, all-American girl.
"Since she started living in the UK full time, she has developed a less polished, more daring style that owes its origins to London's street style."
The Top Ten best dressed British women is as follows: 1 GWYNETH PALTROW 2 KATE MOSS 3 THANDIE NEWTON 4 LIBERTY ROSS 5 SIENNA MILLER 6 LAURA BAILEY 7 PEACHES GELDOF 8 YASMIN LE BON 9 ZADIE SMITH 10 MADONNA. (ZJS/WNTMI/GES)
