Sexy, bewitching beauty icons of 2011 (part 5) » Gossip

Superdrug Britain's second-largest beauty and health retailer, commissioned a study to look for 2011's beauty icons. The result was this fascinating list of stunning women.

4. Rihanna

If there was one girl who had a really eventful, busy and an envious year behind her, it undoubtedly was Rihanna.

She completed a gruelling six-month tour gig tour around the world, lent her shoulder to Katy Perry who recently divorced her husband and said goodbye to 2011 in a sexy two-piece bikini in Barbados.

Rihanna came number four in the list of beauty icons for 2011.

3. Cheryl Cole

She may have moved on from X Factor America and has been keeping something of a low profile but that didn't stop Cheryl Cole from being voted as one of the top three beauty icons of 2011.

The singer-actress-dancer-model had topped the very same list last year.

2. Pippa Middleton

The bottom. Need we say more? Pippa Middleton was number two in the list of beauty icons for 2011.

1. Kate Middleton

It's kinda difficult to not top a list of beauty icons when you're married to the prince in the wedding of the century isn't it?

In all fairness though Kate Middleton had been grooming herself rather well much before her marriage to Prince William.

The Duchess of Cambridge, with her impeccable style and yet an unmissable a common touch topped the list of the top 20 style icons of 2011.
