Kate Moss fails to make fashion poll as Agyness Deyn takes top spot

The British supermodel Kate Moss may finally be going out of fashion. The 34-year-old, responsible for introducing the waif-like "heroin chic" look in the early 1990s, has been dumped from Grazia magazine's list of the world's 10 best-dressed women. Last year she was fifth and the year before readers of the same magazine voted her Britain's best-dressed woman.

Meanwhile the new catwalk queen Agyness Deyn, 25, who started life working in a fish and chip shop near Manchester, tops Grazia's list for the second year running and for the first time Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the wife of the French President, makes the honour board, at number five.

Gwyneth Paltrow, who recently shed her mumsy image to win over the fashion press with a series of mini-dresses and skyscraper Christian Louboutin designer heels, is in second place, followed by the Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, despite her occasional taste for eccentric outfits. The list is completed by model Daisy Lowe and Batman actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elle Macpherson, actresses Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson and Dasha Zhukova, the girlfriend of Roman Abramovich.

The omission of Moss – with an estimated personal fortune of £45 million, perhaps she doesn't care – may be due to age, but also because of the endless allegations about her private life and rocky relationship with the troubled singer Pete Doherty which culminated in front-page pictures of Moss allegedly snorting cocaine at a Babyshambles recording session.

Jane Bruton, editor of Grazia, says: "Agyness Deyn had to take the crown. Her influentially eclectic look, trail-blazing ability to segue between style personalities and pure fashion nous has had us captivated for months."
