Thanks in part to all the fans who voted over the past few weeks, Madonna has been crowned as the Most Elegant Female of 2007 in an online poll run by Hello! magazine.

In the Most Elegant Woman category it was the queen of pop, Madonna, who impressed readers most with her impeccable sense of style - storming to victory with well over a third of the vote. She saw off competition from pop princess Christina Aguilera, who came in second with 27 per cent, as well as former Buffy The Vampire Slayer beauty Sarah Michelle Gellar and last year's winner, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, who was in fourth position this time around.

The queen of pop's finely toned body helps her carry off the freshest styles. At evening dos the dancefloor diva pours herself into timelessly elegant, figure-hugging dresses. Her daytime look is more cutting edge, featuring funky t-shirts and skinny jeans, plus that staple of the true fashionista – oversize sunnies.
