Kate Middleton in Vanity Fair (PHOTOS)

Kate Middleton is the cover girl of Vanity Fair’s September issue after topping the magazine’s 2012 International Best-Dressed List.

Unlike the South African issue of Marie Claire, which featured a photoshopped image of the Duchess of Cambridge on the cover of its August issue, this appears to be the real deal.

Middleton has worn all the top designers and is not afraid of recycling her wardrobe, making her a style icon for women around the world.
