LONDON, Nov 5: At the age of 81, Queen Elizabeth on Monday joined models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell on Vogue Magazine’s list of the world’s most glamorous women.

The style bible slavishly worshipped by dedicated followers of fashion decreed that age was no barrier.

Sensible brogue shoes, waxed jackets and headscarves knotted firmly under the chin are clearly no passing fad.

“It’s a great compliment. She has a very practical approach to fashion and a great sense of occasion,” a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman told Reuters when asked about the fashion icon’s tip of the hat to the queen.

“This month she becomes the first British monarch to celebrate a diamond wedding anniversary and next month she becomes Britain’s oldest ever reigning monarch,” she added.

Even model of the moment Agyness Deyn has said of the octogenarian monarch: “She’s cool.”

Kate Moss is reported to have told her once at a Buckingham Palace reception “I love the stuff you wear. You have great fashion sense.”—Reuters
