Babe Paley, a Vogue fashion editor and the socialite wife of CBS chairman Bill Paley (after a previous marriage to Standard Oil heir Stanley Mortimer Jr.), was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1958. Her daughter Amanda Burden, now director of New York's Department of City Planning, joined the Hall of Fame in 1996. Paley, a confidante of Truman Capote's.

Dance legend and Hollywood heavyweight Fred Astaire, one of the first men inducted into the Hall of Fame, made the leap in 1968. His sister Adele, also a dancer, was herself inducted in 1975.

Who's this guy? George Clooney joins the Hall of Fame this month; if not for his ascent up the A-list, he might have been an Armani model. He was photographed last November while promoting his film The Good German, which also starred Cate Blanchett, first named by V.F. to the Best-Dressed List in 2004. His recurring co-star Brad Pitt was also named to the list this month.

Yet another Hall of Famer with a conspicuous Capote connection, Audrey Hepburn, star of Breakfast at Tiffany's, eventually left the glamour behind for her role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. But along the way, she was nominated for five best-actress Oscars, among them for her performance in The Nun's Story, shot in 1959, the year she is pictured here. She was named to the Best-Dressed Hall of Fame two years later.

A celebrated predecessor of Anna Wintour's, Vogue editor in chief Diana Vreeland was no less influential and every bit an icon of New York fashion. Named seven times to the Best-Dressed List, she became a Hall of Famer in 1964.

Like so many who owe Vreeland a nod, Marina Rust Connor, a Vogue contributing editor, has enjoyed a spotlit career. In addition to contributing columns and features to the foremost fashion bible, Connor is a staple of party pictures—such as this one, from the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute gala last year. She joins the Hall of Fame this month

If an All-Time Best Dresser were ever named, it would likely be Nan Kempner. Philanthropist, socialite, fashion authority, she was the jet set's most astute—and visible—mannequin. Named to the Hall of Fame in 1971, she was photographed seven years later with one of her favorite designers, Yves Saint Laurent.

Anna Piaggi

Despite her understated appearance and unfailing subtlety, Milanese fashion journalist Anna Piaggi made the cut this year. Photographed at the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, last year, she arrives for her "Anna Piaggi: Fashion-ology" exhibit, dressed for the occasion.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, photographed in the 1970s. Though still awaiting his coronation, Charles was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1980.

"You've got your mother in a whirl / She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl." The androgynous rocker first made the Best-Dressed List in 1985, but it took David Bowie another 13 years to claim the Hall of Fame. He was photographed here in 1977, three years after his album Diamond Dogs, whose song "Rebel Rebel" and cover-art wardrobe couldn't have helped.

Jemima Khan, whose social-register entry must run longer than her gowns, is the ex-wife of cricket superstar Imran Khan, the former girlfriend of actor Hugh Grant, and the offspring of Lady Annabel Goldsmith and her billionaire husband, Sir Jimmy. Her friend the late Princess Diana made the Hall of Fame, in 1989, as did her sister-in-law Lucy Ferry, in 1994. Now, after years as a Best-Dressed Lister, Khan has caught up with them.

Lee Radziwill, a onetime V.F. contributing editor and princess, is the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, at right. They were photographed in London in 1970, five years after Jackie made the Hall of Fame. Radziwill followed in 1996.

Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover has extensive B.D.L. lineage. Her mother, Princess Grace of Monaco, was one of the Hall of Fame's first entrants, in 1960, and her third husband, Prince Ernst August, along with her daughter Charlotte Casiraghi, were named to the Best-Dressed List last year; her son Andrea is a perennial nominee. Caroline, who resides in Paris as well,  and was named a Hall of Fame member in 1994.

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola, fresh from completing Marie Antoinette, was photographed last year in Beverly Hills, where she was honored by Premiere magazine. This year, Vanity Fair does the honors, naming her to the Best-Dressed Hall of Fame.

Two more Paris transplants, the Duke of Windsor (Edward, formerly the King of England) and the Duchess (Wallis Simpson), were photographed here in 1941, five years after he abdicated the world's most famous throne. Each was named to the Hall of Fame the first year they were eligible—she in 1958, he in '68. They could never be apart.

California royalty if there ever were, Hollywood couple Ronald and Nancy Reagan went on to assume the governor's mansion, the White House, and, eventually, their spots in our Hall of Fame. While Nancy was inducted in 1973—seven years after this photograph was taken—it took a presidential re-election to convince Best-Dressed voters that her husband's brown suits were indeed fashionable, which they affirmed in 1986.

Renowned artist Francesco Clemente found himself named five consecutive times by the Best-Dressed List committee, culminating in his Hall of Fame place in 1996. This year his devoted and radiant wife, Alba Clemente, a performer who recently appeared with the band Pink Martini at Carnegie Hall, joins him as an inductee.

Though she didn't found her fashion label until 1980, the year she joined the Hall of Fame, designer Carolina Herrera was first selected for the Best-Dressed List in '71, three years before she sat for this portrait. Glamour runs in the family. Two of her daughters are fellow Hall of Famers: Carolina Herrera de Baez was named in 1997, Patricia Lansing in '99. Carolina's husband, Reinaldo Herrera, was welcomed in '83, and now, as a V.F. contributing editor, helps oversee the Best-Dressed List.

Thirty-five years later (and about three feet taller), CNN anchor Anderson Cooper joins his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, in the Best-Dressed Hall of Fame.
