(Cover) - EN Star Style - Carey Mulligan has been named Harpers Bazaar magazines Best Dressed Woman of 2010.
The 25-year-old shot to fame thanks to her role as Jenny Mellor in 2009 movie An Education, which won her an Oscar nomination. She is a regular on the red carpet and always looks immaculate.
Her dedication to giving old-school Hollywood glamour a modern twist secured her position at the top of the list, beating off still competition from Victoria Beckham, Tilda Swinton and Natalia Vodianova.
So 60s French New Wave - like a Godard starlet - but totally modern, the judges explained.
Singer-turned-fashion-designer Victoria scooped the second place, and was praised for her ever-evolving look. The star is renowned for changing her hair style regularly, but she sticks with what she knows when it comes to clothes. Victoria has often been teased for her refusal to dress down, but the judges says she is right to only wear what suits her.
Victoria has grown into her own style. She has gone from a girl-band star to this chic, ladylike woman with serious fashion clout, they explained.
Yasmin Le Bons polished appearance saw her come in third, while rounding out the top five were TV presenter Alexa Chung and singer Florence Welch.
The list was compiled by judges including editor Lucy Yeomans, milliner Stephen Jones, Kim Hersov and Moralioglu. They chose 20 women they think totally embody modern style, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss also making the cut.
