20. Kate Moss
Kate Moss may have got into deep trouble thanks to the cocaine controversy back in 2005 but that hasn't stopped her from being in the list of style icons for women over 50.

The former wife of Prince Andrew, Duke of York and writer, film producer and charity patron, Sarah Ferguson came 19th in the list of the most stylish women.

Tess Daly is 42 and is also the face (and more) of the lingerie giant La Senza. The Strictly Come Dancing presenter came 17 in the list of style icons.
16. Demi Moore
She dared to pose nude when she was pregnant on the cover of a magazine. Newly single and smouldering hot as usual, we'd be surprised if Demi Moore hadn't made the list!
15. Samantha Cameron
Pretty as a petal but a figure of solid support to her husband 40-year-old Samantha Cameron ended at number 15 in the list of most stylish women.
14. Amanda Holden
Another television personality to make it to the list was actress, television presenter and a Britain's Got Talent judge, Amanda Holden.

12. Kylie Minogue

What list can ever be complete without a Bond girl in it? Sexy at 60, Jane Seymour, the poll says, continues to inspire women to look more stylish.
10. Nigella Lawson
Few women make cooking look as sexy and flirtatious as Nigella Lawson does. The 51-year-old presenter -- she isn't a trained chef -- and 'queen of food porn' we have sufficient reason to believe Lawson should've been tad higher in the list.
9. Carole Middleton
Pippa Middleton's bottom wasn't the only one that caught the attention of fashionistas at Kate Middleton's wedding. Mum Carole Middleton who looked a million bucks herself made heads turn too.
8. Carol Vorderman
Columnist and television presenter Carol Voderman was voted as the eighth most stylish woman.
7. Elle Macpherson
She may be closing in on 50 but that hasn't stopped supermodel and 'The Body' Elle Macpherson from being any less stylish (or sexy for that matter). The 47-year-old was number seven in the list.
6. Victoria Beckham
At 37 years old, Victoria Beckham was one of the youngest women in the list. The former Spice Girl, has moved on from her singing career to being a fashion designer and style icon. Her presence in the list according to spokespersons of the clothing brand that ran the poll, reveals that women in their 50s weren't afraid to 'embrace younger styles when done the right way'.
5. Judi Dench
What do you say about first lady of British cinema? Elegant, stylish and always awe-inspiring -- Dame Judi Dench was number five in the list of the most stylish women.
4. Lulu
For many of us, Lulu will always be the girl who sang To Sir with Love. Now 63 and still loving the limelight, she has participated in Strictly Come Dancing, and wowed an entirely new generation of fans.
3. Joanna Lumley
Yet another Bond girl in the list is Joanna Lumley. The 65-something star has worn many hats. She's been a model, activist and even a voice-over artiste -- she's recorded 'You have mail' for AOL's email service.
2. Twiggy
Twiggy effect' is used to describe stylish women in their 60s and 70s. If that doesn't say anything about the former model Twiggy's (now 62) sense of style, nothing else probably will.
1. Helen Mirren
No surprise here, Helen Mirren the only actress to have played both Elizabeth I (in the television series Elizabeth I) and Elizabeth II (in The Queen), topped the list.
A spokesperson for CC, the clothing brand that ran the poll has been quoted as saying, "Dame Helen Mirren has as much style, grace and elegance off screen as she does on it and is a fitting icon for the women of her generation. All too often we are bombarded with images of youth and temporary trends, so it's great to see such a varied list filled with women of real class."
