Princess Letizia Named to Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List

Kate Middleton isn’t the only best-dressed royal… Spain’s Letizia, Princess of Asturias, is giving the British royal a style run for her money.

The 40-year-old Spanish royal – the wife of Felipe, Prince of Asturias, the heir apparent to the Spanish throne – has been named to Vanity Fair‘s International Best-Dressed List of 2013.

Born Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, the former journalist and news anchor joins a stellar list of stylish celebrities, including Middleton, Carmen Dell’Orefice, Tory Burch, Victoria Beckham, LeBron James and Justin Timberlake.

Princess Letizia, known for wearing designers like Felipe Varela, Max Mara and Hugo Boss, was noted by the magazine for the blue lace Varela gown, matching heels by Margriet, and Maria Nieto hat, that she wore at the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

But Princess Letizia isn’t the only Latina to make this year’s least…

Gisele Bündchen and her stylish husband, star NFL quarterback Tom Brady, were selected as style icons this year.

Bündchen, who called her mother her style icon, revealed that her favorite place to shop is L’Eclaireur in Paris. And her favorite accessory is Chanel’s Boy bag.

Herrera—one of 24 noted designers creating a holiday collection for Target and Neiman Marcus— will receive the honor at the group’s annual Night Of Stars gala on October 25

“Carolina is an international icon and a brilliant businesswoman. For over three decades, she’s remained true to her elegant design aesthetic in everything — from her signature collection to her bridal, accessories and fragrance collections — while presiding over a global business with a singular focus on excellence,” says Fashion Group president Margaret Hayes. “She has an innate understanding of what smart, chic women everywhere want when it comes to style and beauty.”

Last fall, Herrera gained international attention from new generation of fashionistas and increased her star power when she designed the wedding dress Kristen Stewart’s character Bella wore in the The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I.

Past recipients include Giorgio Armani, Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta and Donna Karan.

In addition to Herrera’s Superstar prize, Haider Ackermann, Gareth Pugh and Derek Lam will also be honored with special awards, and the Marmotti Family of Max Mara will receive the Brand Heritage Award.
