Glamour's 50 Best Dressed Women of 2012: Kristen Stewart Tops List, Kate Middleton is Fourth [SLIDESHOW]

"Twilight" actress Kristen Stewart has been voted the Best Dressed Woman of 2012, by Glamour magazine. She beat out the likes of Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham to take top spot. According to Glamour, Stewart was recognised for being "effortlessly on-trend" and for her impressive style evolution from "an awkward teen to a style queen".

"Mostly known for her laid-back jeans, sneakers and T-shirt look, Stewart's red carpet wardrobe included several killer pieces in 2012. While she hasn't completely graduated from the jeans and T-shirt ensemble, even her more casual outfits now include a sense of sophistication," San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Stewart's next film is "Cali", in which she plays a girl involved in dangerous activities with her boyfriend. The shooting will start late summer.

"I would love to be as excited as those guys were. I would love to be like this every day. Everyone who worked on this movie told me the same; it's rare to be part of such an experience. If I wasn't a part of it, I would have been jealous!" Stewart said about her upcoming movie "The Road" to Hollywood Life.

Meanwhile, "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson took second, while fashion designer Victoria Beckham came third - a monumental nine places up from last year's list because of the "adorable co-ordinating looks" she shares with nine-month-old daughter Harper Seven. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was fourth because her "classic elegance has set the high street alight".

Musician Florence Welch, "My Week with Marilyn" actress Michelle Williams, "Gossip Girl" actress Blake Lively, musician Cheryl Cole, American socialite Olivia Palermo and pop star Rihanna completed the top ten.
