The 38-year-old Australian singer was awarded the number one spot by Glamour magazine for her sophisticated new look after time away from the spotlight recovering from breast cancer.

Supermodel Moss slipped to fourth place in the fashion rankings - while her boyfriend Pete Doherty was named the worst dressed male.

Minogue was 26th in last year's list.

But Glamour editor Jo Elvin said: "We've seen a newer, softer-looking Kylie emerge this year - she's still sexy, but she's not flaunting that side of herself in gold hotpants any more.

"She's letting it shine through subtly, with a classic personal style that women really identify with."

The pop princess has adopted a Parisian chic look since moving to the French capital with boyfriend Olivier Martinez.

But she hasn't abandoned her showgirl style altogether - the singer is currently wowing British fans on her comeback tour with a succession of spectacular outfits.

David Beckham was crowned best dressed man. Doherty topped the worst dressed man stakes, followed by Britney Spears's ex Kevin Federline, Russell Brand and Australian singer Peter Andre.
