However, Carey has previously said she’s not really that interest in fashion, explaining in a recent interview: ‘I was at a press conference and Woody Harrelson was answering questions about how he felt about his character.

‘I got up there, and they said, “What are you wearing?” And I thought, “There was a time when I was an actress. Not just someone who wore dresses.”

‘I don’t really care that much about fashion, I just have a brilliant stylist who dresses me, and in my own life, I’m pretty simple. So that side of things has been wearing.’

Prime Minister David Cameron’s wife Samantha also featured on the list in tenth position, ahead of Gwyneth Paltrow , Stella McCartney and Sienna Miller.

It was recently announced that Mrs Cameron, who recently gave birth to daughter Florence, has become such a fashion icon that she will be enlisted to work on future fashion weeks in London, although the nature of her role is as yet unclear.

After the announcement was made, Mrs Cameron said: ‘London Fashion Week is extremely important to the fashion industry in the UK and I look forward to being fully involved from next season.

‘We have so much young talent that needs to be supported and nurtured to ensure we are building brands and businesses for the future.’
