Kate Middleton and her pert bottomed sister have been pipped to the post when it comes to the most desirable by Zooey Deschanel.
The American actress topped a UK poll of 165,000 British users by Ask Men followed closely by Emma Watson. Model Daisy Lowe came third while Lana Del Rey and Mila Kunis completed the top five.
Our stylish Royal came a poor ten after her sister Pippa who made the sixth place. We wonder if the results would have been different if the poll had been the “most stylish”.
Do you agree with the results? View the gallery below and leave your comments to let us know.

Beyonce Knowles has given birth to baby girl Blue Ivy Carter
Beyonce Knowles has given birth to a baby girl. The ‘Halo’ singer and rapper husband Jay-Z welcomed their first child together at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York last night (07.01.11) and have decided to name her Blue Ivy Carter.
Jay – real name Shawn Carter – is said to have been by his wife’s side as she gave birth and they are thought to have paid $1.3 million to rent out the entire fourth floor of the hospital.
Pop singer and friend to the couple Rihanna tweeted: “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih (sic).”
Music mogul Russell Simmons closely followed, writing: “Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z .”
Beyonce, 30, reportedly checked into the hospital under the name Ingrid Jackson and friends of the couple were seen bringing bottles of red wine and food to celebrate after the birth.
Beyonce and Jay, 42, were married in 2008 after dating for six years and she revealed she was pregnant at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards in August.
Speaking about her pregnancy last December, Beyonce said: “It’s exciting! I know it’s gonna be difficult at times. I know that, like my mother, I’m gonna get on my child’s nerves but I’m just ready! I’m ready for the next chapter.”
While the new arrival was first reported to have been named Ivy Blue, Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed that the name was actually Blue Ivy Carter!

Naya Rivera was distraught when she developed acne at 24.
The ‘Glee’ beauty – who is the new face of spot solution Proactive – admits she found having bad skin tough, but now she is “fixed” of the problem she is feeling more confident than ever.
She said: “I had really bad skin for a while earlier this year. It sort of just came out of nowhere. It was like adult acne, and I was like. ‘I’ve had great skin my entire life. How am I dealing with this now at 24?’
“It was pretty embarrassing going to work every day and having to be on camera and having the make-up artists be like, ‘Oh what’s going?’ My ‘Glee’ co-stars were really supportive. I would go around and talk about it. It was a point of insecurity for me. But I’m glad I got it fixed, I’ll say that.”
She also reveals she approached the company as she wanted to share her success story with the product.
She told People: “I used Proactiv and it really did work for me. It helped me out, so I got in contact with the company and told them I would love to share my story.
“So I showed them photos and they said, ‘This is great.’ Wait till people see my pictures. That’s all I have to say. I definitely have the photos to prove [I had a problem].”

Kate Moss is teaming up with her nine-year-old daughter to create a girls’ clothing range.
The supermodel and little Lila Grace are working with British high street store Debenhams on a range of “funky tweenage” designs, due for release in summer 2012.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Lila has always loved trying on Kate’s clothes and make-up, and is already really into fashion.
“It was mainly all her idea and Kate obviously agreed to help out as much as possible, using her contacts to land the duo a deal.
“Lila is adamant the range will be very traditional and English rose-esque in feel. Lila doesn’t want to produce chavvy clothes.
“The collaboration was actually inspired by Kate’s mates, Jemima French and Sadie Frost’s new FrostFrench ‘Iris and Edie’ capsule range of sleepwear after their daughters got involved.
“Kate and Lila Grace will get cracking on designs over the festive period, mulling over ideas at Kate’s Cotswolds’ pad.”
Kate – who wed husband Jamie Hince in July – recently revealed Lila is quite “prudish” and will often tell her mother off when she doesn’t take off her make-up.
She said: “I always take my make-up off, because otherwise my daughter will come in and say, ‘Mummy, tut-tut’. She doesn’t like it. She likes the fresh-faced, natural mummy, when I’ve got my hair in a bun and no make-up on.
“Lila is quite prudish – she’ll only wear a little bit of lip gloss or something. But she is into nail art. I think Lila is beautiful – she’s so innocent and has that fresh face. She’s gorgeous, but obviously she is my daughter.”

Cheryl Cole has accepted the fact she will never have a supermodel’s figure.
The Fight for This Love singer is regularly voted one of the world’s sexiest women but she says she will never be blessed with the figure and height of someone like Gisesle Bundchen.
She said: “We all want to look like Gisele and look good in those sparkly leggings and then we wear them and don’t look good in them because that’s Gisele’s shape. We have to accept – well I have to accept – that I’m never going to be 6ft 2in. When you do that and start to dress for yourself and wear what makes you feel good, then you start to feel comfortable. It’s important to figure that out.”
Cheryl, 28, recently said she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices and has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.
She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”

Kelly Rowland plans to “eat, eat, eat” over the festive season.
The ‘Down for Whatever’ singer has been based in the UK while judging pop star search show ‘The X Factor’ in recent months but now the TV series is over, she is looking forward to a family Christmas in the US.
She said: “I’m going to eat, eat, eat. I love to cook so I’ll probably make some sweet potatoes and my mama cooks amazing food.
“I’m just looking forward to spending time doing nothing with the people that I love. My mama has really missed me being around.”
Kelly is particularly looking forward to taking time out to be with the younger members of her family, because they get so excited during the holidays.
She added: “I’ve been so busy this year with my album and ‘The X Factor’ and touring, so it’ll be nice to spend time with my nieces and nephews.”
Kelly will be particularly looking forward to eating over Christmas because she usual sticks to a healthy eating plan and rigorous exercise regime to stay slim.
She previously said: “I work out every other day at least. If you don’t then I don’t think you see the rewards. Even if you can get 30 minutes of cardio in every other day you’ll see a big change in yourself.
“I am a big believer in keeping the body toned and there’s a great diet called the 80/20 diet, which means you make sure 80 per cent of the stuff you eat is good and the other 20 per cent is your choice. It’s great.”

Beyonce Knowles’ house is a “no-TV zone” over the festive period.
The ‘Halo’ hitmaker is currently expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z and the couple are both so busy during the year that they prefer to focus on quality family time over Christmas rather than relaxing in front of the TV.
Beyonce said: “I will be with family. We are both so busy throughout the year that Christmas is just a time to relax with family and count the many blessings in your life.
“Christmas Day is a no-TV zone. We just like to sit and talk together as a family.”
Although she refused to reveal what she will buy her husband, the singer can’t wait to purchase lots of gifts for their unborn baby.
She said: “I can’t say, it has to be a surprise! Seriously, though, we both keep seeing super-cute stuff for the baby, so I am sure even our presents for each other will involve the baby in some way!
“Also Kelly [Rowland] has been so busy buying gifts for the baby, I think she might forget to buy for me this year! She is always seeing cute gifts for the baby in London.”

Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy issue is set to sell out.
The ‘Mean Girls’ actress posed in a raunchy shoot for the men’s magazine and despite critics claiming the pictures were “boring” and unimaginative”, it has proved popular with readers.
The issue has been selling out across many parts of the US with cities like New York and Los Angeles ordering additional copies due to the increased demand.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner wrote on twitter: “The Lindsay Lohan January-February Double Issue is breaking sales records.
“The Lindsay Lohan Double Issue also includes 2 Centerfolds, the Year In Sex & the Playmate Review. Over 200 pages of entertainment. (sic)”
In the Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot, Lindsay poses completely naked and was paid a reported $1 million.
Although the issue is proving very popular, Hugh previously admitted he had “mixed emotions” about featuring Lindsay in the pages of his legendary magazine.
Hugh said: “It really came as a surprise to me. I kind of had mixed emotions about it initially, and then it turned into something bigger than life.
“I wasn’t quite sure where she was at in her life, obviously. It depends on whether it’s Tuesday or Thursday.”
Hugh also revealed how Lindsay, 25, and her family were initially reluctant for her to appear in the spread totally nude and he had to assure them the pictures would be shot in a tasteful way.
The 85-year-old said: “I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity. And I said, ‘We’re doing a nude pictorial here. We’re going to do it in a very classy way and we’re going to do it in a way in which it will not be forgotten.’
“I think it was accomplished beyond anything I could have possibly imagined. People will not forget this pictorial.”

Alice Dellal is the new face of the Boy Chanel handbag collection.
The London-based socialite, musician and model – who is known for her signature half-shaved head and punk style – was handpicked by Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld after the pair met at a photo shoot some months ago.
A Chanel spokesperson said: “[Karl Lagerfeld] had a crush on this unique, charismatic young lady, who is both a model and musician, during a photo shoot several months ago. This previously unforeseen alliance finally became self-evident. Alice Dellal represents the perfect incarnation of all that is unique about the Boy Chanel handbag collection, which strives [to be] far from conformist notions of femininity.”
Karl took the pictures for the campaign, which will be released worldwide in March.
Alice follows in the footsteps of previous Chanel handbag models including Jerry Hall, Lily Allen, Rinko Kikuchi, Blake Lively and Diane Kruger.
Alice – who is the sister of shoe designer Charlotte Dellal – has previously described her style as “tomboy” and says her dad used to be her fashion icon, even revealing her half-shaved head was inspired by him.
She said: “When I was little I was such a tomboy – I loved a baggy T-shirt and leggings. Charlotte’s always been very stylish – she used to dress me when I was really young. We’d look identical, but we’re so different. She’d be reading Agatha Christie and I, well I, wasn’t. I was always more attracted to what my Dad was wearing. Charlotte and Mum are much more similar. Charlotte would get Mum’s hand-me-downs, then I’d get them after she was done with them. If I’m feeling a bit glamorous though, I love wearing a pair of her shoes.
“Charlotte actually suggested I have it my hair done like this. My brother and my Dad always used to shave their hair and I remember thinking ‘Why can’t I do the same?’ It’s kind of ironic that it was my sister’s idea, but I would give her total credit for it. The style’s becoming more normal though – I see quite a few girls with similar hair now.”

Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards at The Savoy in London - 28 November 2011
David and Victoria Beckham are considering leaving Los Angeles.
The soccer star is in talks with French club Paris Saint-Germain and a number of UK teams and rather than Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper remaining in Los Angeles while he plays in Europe, the entire family may relocate with the couple already lining up possible schools for the boys.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “David is on the brink of committing to either Paris Saint-Germain or a UK club. He’ll make the announcement just after the New Year.
“They are preparing to be back in Britain and have been looking at schools for the boys. David is keen on one particular school because it’s the area where he grew up and when he was a child he always wished he could have gone there.”
Although Victoria was initially reluctant to move, the hugely successful fashion designer is now “excited” about returning home.
The source added: “David has always been adamant he wants to end his career in Europe and Victoria is totally behind the move. She is using the opportunity to work on her fashion profile in Europe and the boys will be privately educated. They are all very excited.
“Victoria wants to come back to London and live between the capital and Paris but she won’t give up the place in LA. The advantage of being over here is they can spend more time with their families. But they love LA so it’s likely they’ll be back.”

Britney Spears partied until 4am to celebrate her engagement on Friday.
The ‘Hold It Against Me’ singer threw a joint engagement and 40th birthday party for her fiance Jason Trawick at the Chateau club in Las Vegas, spending money on Dom Perignon champagne and a chocolate fountain to adorn the room.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Britney made sure there was plenty of Dom Perignon champagne flowing throughout the bash. She had a couple of glasses herself. She stayed until 4am when she and Jason returned to their 50th floor suite.”
Writing on twitter, Britney said: “Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life. Such an amazing time with my new fiance and our closest friends and family. Blessed. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Neil Lane, the designer responsible for designing the engagement ring Jason gave to Britney has revealed he has been creating the piece of jewellery – which features one main diamond and 90 smaller gems on an eternity band – for some time while she has been touring the world.
He told People: “Jason is a romantic and when I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same – she is a princess.
“Texts came from all over the world, from Abu Dhabi to Mexico and I don’t know where else.”
Despite the ring being created when he was away, Jason was delighted with the final piece hen he went to pick it up from his store in Los Angeles.
Neil added: “Oh my god he loved it. The guy was so excited and nervous. At the end of the day, even with all the fame, he’s still a normal guy who was about to propose to the woman he loves.”

Rooney Mara won’t wear anything she owned before starring in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
The actress’ personal style completely transformed during the 14 months she spent portraying tattooed and pierced gothic computer hacker Lisbeth Salander for the film and is no longer very feminine, lacy, pink, whimsical and romantic.
She said: “My wardrobe has completely changed. It had to, partly because of my hair and partly because I stopped feeling comfortable in what I used to wear.
“I don’t feel comfy in those clothes anymore because I have been living as Lisbeth for 14 months.”
For the role Rooney also had to get her nipple pierced – which she has since kept in – and had to shave her head, which she said she was “really happy” to do.
Rooney also won her role in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ for her wiliness to completely transform herself, with director David Fincher explaining: “She was willing to risk everything. Her take on Lisbeth was as someone who can turn it completely off.”

Lindsay Lohan was given a glowing probation report during her court hearing yesterday.
The ‘Mean Girls’ actress – who has been working at the Los Angeles County Morgue as part of her sentence for breaking her probation in relation to a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) case – was praised by Judge Stephanie Sautner for the way she has behaved and got on with her court-ordered work.
When discussing Lindsay’s community service hours, Sautner praised the 25-year-old star for having “done it not only on time, but early. You did the 12 days and you completed it early”.
She then told Lindsay, who returned to Los Angeles after holidaying in Hawaii: “You’re doing well. I’d like to see it continue.
“Do more days a month and then we can end this in February, possibly.”
Lindsay must complete another 12 days of duty at the morgue and three therapy sessions by her next court date on January 17 2012.
The judge also gave Lindsay permission to leave the state of California if she completes her 12 days of duty early.
She said: “Any month you’ve completed 12 days early, you can travel,” she said. “For pleasure, for any purpose…to go to a spa, whatever she wants to do. Whatever anyone else is allowed to do.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were very “proud” of themselves after cooking their family Thanksgiving dinner.
The Hollywood couple – who raise six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, together – says they decided not to hire any help for last month’s holiday and wanted to do everything themselves, including cooking the turkey.
She told TV interviewer Anderson Cooper: “Brad and I decided we were actually going to make the turkey and we were very successful and very proud of ourselves.
“This was just the two of us with the kids watching trying to pretend we knew exactly what we were doing.”
Angelina says eating as a family is important to her and they try to do it as often as possible.
She said: “We actually have family dinner every night,” Jolie explained. “We make a point of it. It’s crazy. There’s a good five minutes were everybody is quiet and sitting together and then it starts to break off.”
Angelina also revealed how all the children love to travel around the world and are comfortable wherever they go.
She said: “Fortunately, my kids love to travel. they’re very worldly. What I love is that they can be in New York in a hotel in Manhattan and think it’s so cool, and then I can bring them to the middle of Kenya and drop them in a tent with no TV and no nothing, and they’re just as happy.
“That’s what we are trying to do to balance them.”
