LONDON:

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been voted the most stylish British woman in an annual poll. The poll was conducted by the magazine Harpar’s Bazaar and she won despite being American, reports contactmusic.com. Paltrow lives with her husband Chris Martin who is the lead singer of the rock band Coldplay. She beat out competition from the likes of supermodel Kate Moss and actress Thandie Newton. Sir Geldof’s daughter Peaches was the youngest person to make it on the list.

The magazine said Paltrow’s ability to transform herself from an ordinary American to an edgy Londoner grabbed their attention. Editor of the magazine 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
