Many a stylish turn on her and Prince William's North American tour have earned the Duchess a place on 'Vanity Fair's' International Best-Dressed List.

It is the first time that the Duchess, 29, appears in the list as a member of the royal family; she previously featured in 2008, when she was dating Prince William and went by her maiden name, Kate Middleton.
She joins Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as the most high-profile women on the highly-regarded sartorial poll.
British actresses Carey Mulligan and Tilda Swinton are also named, while Oscar-winner Colin Firth and F1 racing driver Jenson Button are two Brits who made the cut on the men's list.
Lady Gaga is named as one of "fashion originals" of 2011, mostly notably for her dress made of beef cuts that was worn to an awards show.
