After all, Kate is a supermodel who gets paid to wear clothes correctly and with poise, as well as most probably getting a few freebies from top designers desperate to see their clothes on her back (or feet, or head, or even dangling off her handbag if it would get them in the papers). But still, in a celeb world where everyone has the means to look glamorous, it must be said that Kate pulls it off better than most.

Glamour is the magazine that has come up with the definitive, annual best dressed list, a list to send shivers down the spine of singers such as Kylie, who dropped from 3rd place to 26th. Actress Milla Jovovich was another casualty in this year’s style stakes, she fell from being number one to unlucky 13. However, it was a good year for Sarah Jessica Parker, who rose to the second spot, and for Victoria Beckham, who has gone from 42nd to number three!

Lila not Lola - 15/10/02

Kate and the father Jefferson Hack had decided on the name Lila Grace straight away. A spokesperson for Kate’s modeling agency Storm said of the mix-up, ’Kate Moss and Jefferson Hack are pleased to announce that their beautiful baby daughter is to be called Lila Grace.’ Lila is an Arabic word for night.

Are we soon to hear the sound of wedding bells as well as the patter of tiny feet in the Hack/Moss household soon?

If a sighting of Jefferson Hack perusing the engagement rings at Bond Street jeweller Garrard is anything to go by, the answer could well be "I do".

Biography

In 1988, Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm model agency, at JFK airport at the age of just 14, as she prepared to board a flight home to London with her father.

After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein. Moss originally spearheaded the controversial "waif" look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she "might’ve been a bank manager" now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp.

She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply "Kate". Having checked into London’s £300-a-day Priory Clinic in November 1998 suffering from exhaustion, Kate emerged refreshed the following January to announce that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". She told The Face magazine, "That’s what you do. You always have champagne before the shows. Always. Even at ten in the morning. It got to the point one time when we were [saying], ’We’re not going out without any champagne’."

Losing the Calvin Klein contract to fellow Brit Lisa Ratliffe in 1999, Kate has now taken on the status of fashion icon. In the May 2000 issue of Vogue, she played muse to a variety of the most cutting edge artists and photographers. In London she is still represented by Storm. Written in 2000
