Duchess Kate wins style stakes in 2012

2012 was a spectacular year of fashion statements and faux pas. Celebrities posed for the cameras with some head turning high-end couture while others flashed their body suit.

It's time to look back at 2012 to see who has made it to the headlines for being the Best Dressed - and who has flunked in their style stakes.

The list will be incomplete without the queen of perfect dressing Duchess Catherine or popularly known as Kate Middleton. Unsurprisingly, Victoria Beckham finds herself on the list of those who got it right.

And the ones who failed, let's not be too harsh on them hoping 2013 will be more fashionable for them.
