These lovely ladies have the most envied wardrobes in the world!

Which famous faces made it to Vanity Fair's prestigious International Best-Dressed List for 2011?

This is the magazine's 72nd annual round-up of worldly fashionistas and features the who's who from across the fields of entertainment, fashion, business and politics. Here are the top ten women who made the cut!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

She may be pregnant this year, but there's no slowing down the French First Lady, who is an international style icon. This is the fourth time Carla's been bestowed the honour, as compared to hubby President Nicolas Sarkozy, who's been bumped off the list since last making it in 2007.

Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar

Sheikha Moza is no stranger to the Vanity Fair round-up. The Emir of Qatar's lovely wife dresses the part of royalty -- conservative but classy. And it doesn't go unnoticed.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

She featured in 2008 as commoner Kate Middleton, but now the Duchess of Cambridge is royalty and anything she wears today is tomorrow's fad -- just ask the designers who sell out within hours of her being spotted in their outfits!

Andrea Dellal

The Brazilian former model is a mother of four, but can still hold her own on the catwalk. Don't believe us? The pic pretty much says it all!

Carey Mulligan

This British actress does not conform -- in a sea of well-dressed folk, she always manages to stand out on the red carpet. And yeah, we love the dress too!

Christine Lagarde

At 55, distinguished French lawyer and MD of the International Monetary Fund Christine still shines in her elegant wardrobe. It just goes to show you, powerful women don't always wear pants!

Tilda Swinton

Tilda is an Academy Award-winning actress and she dresses the part. And yes, she's part of the 50-plus club too, so it looks like age really is just a number, after all.

Lizzie Tisch

The wife of American millionaire hotelier Jonathan M Tisch, Lizzie manages to look like a million dollars too. Her style is fresh and vibrant but with a touch of sophistication.

Princess Charlene of Monaco

Like the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Charlene of Monaco married into royalty this year and with her athletic frame, she can carry off pretty much anything. Add to that her impeccable taste and we have a winner.

Jane Lauder Warsh

She's the granddaughter and heiress of Estee Lauder, so it's hardly surprising that Jane is on the Vanity Fair list. It's apparent that the desire to look her best runs in her blood!
