Queen Rania of Jordan

Rania is the only woman in the world to have been crowned the sexiest lady in the world by FHM, to have been judged Forbes's "most listened-to woman in the Middle East," and to be working with leaders around the world to impel their countries to fulfill the second Millennium Development Goal of Universal Primary Education. A queen of the people, for her coronation, she borrowed a tiara from her sister-in-law, explaining, "It would have been foolish to buy one when there was already one in the family."

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

When the Duchess of Cambridge wears a dress, it sells out within minutes, sometimes seconds. She honed her fashion sense post-college when she worked as an accessories buyer for the English women's-wear brand Jigsaw. As easygoing as her style, for her wedding in 2011, she and William requested no presents-only donations to their choice charities. The Duchess has helped propel a range of British brands into the spotlight-Jenny Packham, Temperley, Reiss, among many others. This floor-length Roland Mouret marked a well-timed maturation in Kate's style; the high slits presented an ever-so-slightly more racy style for the duchess.

Prince Philip

A member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg (try saying that fast after a few glasses of Pimms), the Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, has the distinguished honor of being the Commonwealth's longest-serving consort and the oldest-ever spouse of a reigning British monarch. Did we mention he also looks great in a suit? A military man, having joined the British Royal Navy at the age of 18, he wears a uniform is carpeted with awards and medallions.

Queen Elizabeth

Few women can pull off a hat like Queen Elizabeth can. A woman of precise style, for her first Commonwealth tour in 1953, she brought with her more than 100 specially made new garments. That said, she's not averse to hand-me-downs, and when younger, she often refashioned pieces of her mother's. Sticking with classics, she began working with Hardy Amies in the 1950s and continued the relationship until his death in 2003. More recently she veers toward structured jackets and streamlined dresses and skirts, courtesy of dressmaker Angela Kelly. She is also said to have an imponderably marvelous collection of Hermès scarves.

Princess Mary of Denmark

Queen-in-waiting (once her husband, heir apparent Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, inherits the throne), Princess Mary of Denmark is often compared to the Duchess of Cambridge, with her relationship termed a "modern-day fairy tale." Her fashion instincts are likewise unimpeachably regal: she's often spotted in Danish designers, such as whimsical jeweler Ole Lynggaard or Jesper Hovring.

Kyril, Prince of Preslav

The prince of Preslav and the son of Bulgaria's prime minister just needs one more accolade, and it's a hat trick. Having graduated from Princeton with a degree in physics, Kyril is exponentially (perhaps even single-handedly) increasing the fashionability of the typically over-starched discipline.

Empress Michiko of Japan

The first nonroyal to marry into the Japanese imperial family, Empress Michiko of Japan met her now husband on a tennis court. Always demure, the empress is constantly in the public eye, having made official visits to more than 37 countries. Her style is traditional and modest; she has also been forever immortalized in a novel entitled The Commoner, by John Burnham Schwartz.

Princess Letizia of Spain

When the prince of Asturias proposed to Letizia-with a 16-baguette-diamond engagement ring-she then handed him a pair of white-gold-and-sapphire cufflinks. Fair is fair. Tending toward monochrome ensembles with clean lines, Letizia's look is endlessly elegant and sophisticated. And, well, any woman who wears a sequin blazer that rivals Beyoncé has earned herself iconic-fashion status.

Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece

Pavlos the Crown Prince of Greece and Denmark calls London home and, despite being the second child, is the oldest son and thus the heir apparent of Constantine II. Too bad the Greek monarchy was abolished in 1974. Having trained as an officer at England's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, he's no stranger to a dashing uniform. And while studying at Georgetown, he bunked with his cousin, the Prince of Asturias. Were the rooms red velvet lined, we wonder?

Crown Princess Masako of Japan

Beginning her career at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Masako met with distinguished individuals on a daily basis. But it was while study at the University of Tokyo in 1986 that she met her prince: fluent in three languages-Japanese, English, and French-and conversational in three more-German, Russian, and Spanish-she has a style that's as studied and sophisticated as is she.
