Kanye West Makes Vanity Fair's Top 10 Best Dressed List

Rap star Kanye West made fashion magazine Vanity Fair's 67th Annual Top 10 Best Dressed list.
West was included in the Top 10 best dressed men along with actor George Clooney, CNN's Anderson Cooper,
David Beckham and Prince Ernst of Hanover.
Over 1,000 fashion industry industry insiders vote each year on the world's best dressed people. West was the only male
musician that appeared on this year's list.
"He goes far in new
directions and is very watched, imitated and admired," Vanity Fair said of West's fashion sense. "He feels good about himself and it shows. Kanye is a college boy. He knows about the Lacoste preppy collegiate look, but he's not going to leave it at that. Instead, he takes elements of that and almost makes inside jokes on it. He never looks like a slob, even if he's in jeans."
This year's other winners include US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,
Gwen Stefani, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Sofia Coppola, Renee Zellweger and Kate Moss, who is featured on the cover of the September issue, which hits newsstands on Aug. 8.
Queen Rania of Jordan,
Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and Moss were also inducted into Vanity Fair's fashion hall of fame.
