These are the best-dressed people of 2014!

Vanity Fair released its annual list of the best-dressed people of the year. Here are 20 celebrities from across the world who made it to the prestigious International Best-Dressed List for 2014!

We start with Cate Blanchett whose appearance at the Golden Globes in the black lace-and-tulle Giorgio Armani Prive gown received a special mention by the folks at VF.

Please ...

She is a reporter for the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano.

And she also happens to hail from an aristocratic family.
 
Beatrice Borromeo may not be a name you've heard of yet but you should because she happens to be among the best-dressed women.

Please ...

Once a commoner, Mary was swept off her feet by Prince Frederik of Denmark in a pub when he was visiting Australia (she is from Tasmania) during the 2000 Summer Olympics.

They have been married for a little over ten years and the now Crown Princess Mary is counted among the best-dressed women in the world.

Please ...

Downton Abbey isn’t a TV show most of us have heard of in India but the British period drama that has been making waves on both sides of the Atlantic has at its centre Michelle Dockery playing an uptight heiress.
 
Dockery who has starred in a few films has an impeccable sense of style that hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Please ...

The vice president of the public relations and political consulting firm, SKDKnickerbocker also features in the list. And justifiably so, don’t you think?

Please ...

Married into the Getty Oil family, Vanessa Getty has come a long way from turning down her mum-in-law’s offer to go shopping to Paris for her wedding trousseau.
 
Here she is now 15 years later in Vanity Fair’s list of the best-dressed women.

Please ...

Also making the list was yet another royal -- HM Queen Maxima of the Netherlands!

Please ...

The brightest young spark in Hollywood this year (move over, Jennifer Lawrence) Lupita Nyong’o has been making a string of flawless red carpet appearances this awards season.

And none of them have gone unnoticed. Kudos!

Please ...

The 20-something Emmy Rossum has been making the right noises in the fashion circles. And that has been suitably rewarded, don’t you think?

Please ...

Hermoine Granger may be a nerd but Emma Watson who plays her has blossomed into a beautiful and stylish young lady.

And the good folks at Vanity Fair seem to agree.

Please ...

There are men and there is Benedict Cumberbatch. We shall say no more.

Please ...

You may remember Idris Elba as the all-hearing sentry of Asgard in Thor but here he is looking glorious as a demi-god right here on earth.

Please ...

There are only a handful of men in the world who can carry off a suit like Neil Patrick Harris.

The How I Met Your Mother star finds a place in the exclusive list and we are not complaining! :-)

Please ...

Eddie Redmayne is best-known for his role in My Week with Marilyn and is now set to play Stephen Hawking in an upcoming biopic.

Meanwhile he has also managed to feature in Vanity Fair's best-dressed list. Not too bad for a 32-year-old eh?

Please ...

And since every list needs some controversy, Vanity Fair has Pharrell Williams. Dubious choice? We don’t know! Do you?

Please ...

The Firths -- the dashing Colin and the beautiful Livia -- also made it to the list.

Please ...

As did model Karlie Kloss!

Please ...

Designer Karl Lagerfeld who famously said that his only ambition in life was to wear a size 28 jeans makes the cut too.

Please ...

The tiny nation happens to be the happiest in the world. So it wasn’t surprising that its king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, that young man capable of making anyone weak in their knees was featured in this list.

Making his debut in the list, the king’s traditional burgundy knee-length gho that he wore in April for the opening of the Panbang Bridge, in Zhemgang received a special mention.

Please ...

And we wind up with Catherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge because no best-dressed list can ever be complete without her.
