Sophia Loren, 77

One of the most beautiful women in the world who, we imagine, looks glamorous from the moment she wakes to the moment she closes her feline eyes. Chic, sexy and forever beautiful, Sophia only gets better with age.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 89

Longest reigning monarch? Check! Most extensive colour blocking wardrobe ever? Check! Has more power and more sense than most world leaders? Check! And her jewellery collection really is second to none. We’re big fans.

Michelle Obama, 51

The first lady with an impeccable sense of style, who champions up and coming female designers and sets the standard for women everywhere in individuality as expressed through clothes. Not to mention her intrinsic influence on the incredibly successful President.

Gloria Steinem, 81

Feminist, political activist, journalist, author and a rare beauty, all rolled into one superhuman. A true rolemodel.

Oprah Winfrey, 61

A woman that inspires millions and provides positivity by the bucketful is also a savvy businesswoman with impeccable taste. Glamorous yet understated, Oprah has a rare kind of style that exudes approachability and luxury all at once.

Vera Wang, 66

Her designs are a dream and her work ethic is second to none. This lady remains as chic as she is successful, well into her 60s.

Cher, 69

Because no list with the word glamour could ever be complete without her. Cher is famously professional, kind and always inspiring with her use of fashion and theatre for her art. We salute you, lady!

Dr Hawa Abdi, 68

Nobel Prize laureate and human rights activist who set up clinics in the most war torn parts of Somalia. Making access to healthcare a human rights priority; truly beautiful inside and out.

Anna Wintour, 65

She who needs no introduction. Refuses to wear boring all black outfits, decides future trends and knows exactly what suits her. Formidable is the only adjective to be used here.

Iman, 60

Supermodel, married to a rock star with a multimillion dollar empire and with positive messages for all. The closest thing to an angel this side of the pearly gates.

Hillary Clinton, 67

Determined, intelligent and brimming with common sense sounds just like what America needs! Hillary’s sharp yet feminine fashion sense marries perfectly with her leadership qualities. If only we could vote from the UK!
