Guess that $55,000 was well worth it! The Duchess of Cambridge tops the Vanity Fair best-dressed list this year, nabbing a spot for the third year in a row.

The magazine lauds Kate’s recognition of British designers — Alexander McQueen, Alice Temperley and Matthew Williamson among them — as well as her ability to mix high- and lower-end styles.

Joining Kate is her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, who makes the list for the first time ever (sadly, Prince William is not named). Rounding out the famous royals is Monaco’s Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline.

There’s major Hollywood representation on the roster, as well: newcomer Jessica Chastain also lands atop the list, joined by Diane Kruger (making it for a second time), Fan Bingbing, plus Colin Firth and his eco-conscious wife, Livia. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys represent the music world, while New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz earn props for their off-field looks.

Matt Lauer, Alice + Olivia’s Stacey Bendet and designer Stella McCartney are also applauded for their senses of style. The September 2012 issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands nationwide on Aug. 7; to see the full list, click here. Tell us: Do you think Kate deserves top honors? Which other celebrities would you put on the best-dressed list?

The Dutchess of Cambridge is a very beautiful and very classy woman — whose dress, posture, self confidence and overall demeanor all come together to make her look great in anything she wears. Her age compared with, for example, Diana who was very young also gives Kate a maturity in her look that adds to her overall appearance.

At J – The Duchess doesn’t accept free clothes. A spokesman for the couple adds that the Duchess “has a policy not to accept any free offers of clothing.”

She always dresses modestly – good examples to young girls and girls her age.
