Princess Beatrice and Princess Diana’s twin nieces also snagged some of the top spots on the list.
Other trend-setting royals also made the list, with Princess Beatrice’s polka dot Saloni dress worn for Royal Ascot selected for June.
Princess Diana’s twin nieces Ladies Amelia and Eliza Spencer rounded off the list in December, as they sparkled in complementary black and silver Alberta Ferretti gowns at the British Fashion Awards.
Many A-list celebrities also earned spots on the fashionable list for their daring sartorial choices, including actors Anne Hathaway, Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Other names mentioned were model and royal relative Lady Amelia Windsor, model Adwoa Aboah, Princess Alexandra of Hanover and the Marchioness of Bath Emma Weymouth.
The Princess of Wales has been lauded as fashion icon since she officially became a member of the Firm when she married Prince William in 2011.
Her wedding dress, also designed by Alexander McQueen, is believed to have cost her parents Carole and Michael Middleton £250,000.

Kate paid tribute to her family through her jewellery choices, as her Robinson Pelham earrings were a gift from her parents and designed to look like the Middleton coat of arms.
The handmade lace covering the dress was created by the Royal School of Needlework, with embroider Amanda Ewing saying: “We knew who it was for, but it was very secret – we had net curtains up, and cleaners were not allowed into the room and the code on the door was changed.
“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Images of roses, thistles, daffodils, and shamrocks, to represent all four nations of the United Kingdom, were placed on both the bodice and skirt.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, The Royal Family said: “Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship.
“The lace design was hand-engineered (appliquéd) using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s.”
