41 Reasons Why Kate Moss Is a Total Fashion Force

When celebrating her 40th birthday, Kate wore a very familiar combo of black dress and leopard-print coat. But she mixed it up with the addition of a baby-pink clutch bag, leading us to believe she thinks long and hard about her outfits, even the seemingly effortless ones!

As one half of one of the '90s' coolest couples with then-squeeze Johnny Depp, Kate kept things simple in a chic, strapless white dress . . . and is that her natural hair colour we spot?

At the very first VH1 Fashion Awards, Kate teamed a sharp trouser suit with dramatic eye makeup and poker-straight hair.

This yellow dress resulted in a crop of copycats; Kate even created a version of it for her first Topshop collection.

Another look that inspired later designs for her Topshop collection, this flapper-style dress was Kate's choice for the Swarovski Fashion Rocks event in 2007.

Kate's a huge fan of animal prints, and this is just one of an enviable collection of leopard-spotted coats.

Kate's vintage Christian Dior dress didn't last long in this state at the Golden Age of Couture VIP Gala. By the end of the night, the delicate fabric had torn after being stepped on, and Kate had to tie it up into a minidress.

Pulling off the perfect '60s look, Kate topped her favourite all-black ensemble with yet another statement fur coat.

For a Topshop event, Kate topped a printed dress with another of her favourite items, a tuxedo jacket.

Can you believe this was 10 years ago? Kate's 30th birthday party was an excuse for the model to try disco curls and a killer sequinned dress.

At the 2005 CFDA Awards, Kate's lingerie-inspired strapless dress was made even sexier thanks to the just-got-out-of-bed hair and sultry makeup.

A menswear-inspired look was Kate's choice for the James Small show at London Fashion Week. A fedora topped her slimline grey trouser suit.

Of course Kate had one of the most memorable Met Gala looks of all time. She was a grecian goddess on the arm of Marc Jacobs in 2004. Turbans were all over the high street soon after!

Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs partied together again at the launch of her new book in Mayfair whilst she was wearing a long gold gown by the designer.

In June 2006, Kate partied at the Dorchester Hotel in London wearing a leopard-print maxi dress, one of many leopard-print moments.

Kate's Ginsberg is God jumper (worn in 2003) is a Bella Freud classic, and we love those monochrome flats, too.

Reminding us why she was the original queen of boho (Sienna who?), Kate wore this printed tunic in April 2006.

A sparkly cape topped yet another all-black look for Kate when she launched her Christmas range for Topshop.

Appearing alongside Philip Green at the launch of New York's first Topshop store, Kate showed us how to dress down a gown by adding a leather biker jacket.

Most people who tried Balmain's big-shouldered shape ended up looking a bit silly in retrospect, but not Kate. Like everything else she's ever worn, she managed to make it work!

A gold baroque-style gown was Kate's unusual choice for a charity dinner hosted by model friend Naomi Campbell in 2012.

Who can forget Kate's killer moment in Alexander McQueen at the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony?

The 2010 Help For Heroes Auction was a chance for Kate to try a more feminine look. This strapless dress went against her usual rock-inspired look, but we love it.

It's not often that Kate wears strong colours, but when she does, she really goes for it. This purple dress was a great surprise when she wore it in Paris in 2011.

Leather leggings are perfect on rock chick Kate. The black blazer, white tee, and big sunglasses ensured the look was simple and chic, not trashy.

Flat shoes and striped trousers took Kate's white tee and black jacket combo to new places whilst shopping in London in 2011.

In 2009, Kate was spotted at J. Sheekey Restaurant in Covent Garden wearing a leopard-print jacket over her little black dress, a standard look for her!

One of our favourite Kate moments was this surprise flirtation with strong colour as she prepared for her wedding. The peasant dress looks like something Kate's self-confessed style icon Anita Pallenberg would have worn in the '70s.

When she married Jamie Hince in July 2011, Kate opted for vintage romance in her beautiful John Galliano gown.

Long before Miley Cyrus made a Met Gala statement in a very similar dress, Kate tried Marc Jacobs's punky mesh maxi on for size. This was her look of choice for the 2011 British Fashion Awards.

Kate's legs looked like they went on forever in these flared cords, worn in Spring 2012 for a day out with friends. The look had the '70s feel that Kate loves so much, but it wasn't a big trend at the time.

Swapping out her skinny jeans for a pair of turned-up trousers in a pale pink shade, Kate looked smarter than usual for a day out in London. We love those pointed heels, too.

Fringed kimono jackets were made for Kate, and they look particularly good with piled-on jewellery like at this Rimmel event in 2013. But Kate knew to get the balance right and keep the bottom half simple to set it off.

Kate's silver suit definitely left a lasting impression when she wore it for a photocall in London. Posing in front of topless photos of herself, Kate knew how to ensure she was still centre stage.

For an appearance at the Louis Vuitton Timeless Muses event, Kate chose a '30s-inspired yellow dress with butterfly sleeves and a fluted hem that could have been a vintage design.

At the 2013 British Fashion Awards, it was all about the old faithfuls for Kate. A fur coat and LBD are items she goes back to again and again, but by piling on the texture, she kept this outfit from looking boring.

With a body like Kate's, wouldn't you show it off occasionally like she did at a Galliano show in 2003? Kate's well aware of her best assets, from her long legs to her toned arms and shoulders.

Kate doesn't take to the catwalk often, but when she does, it's always dramatic. She loves shows where she gets to do something unusual, from wearing a short wig at Louis Vuitton to performing a dance sequence at McQueen (shown).

You'll rarely see Kate looking uncomfortable in an outfit. Her look for the Donnie Brasco film premiere early in her career showed Kate usually favours shapes that hang gently, rather than fitting too tightly.

Kate visited Radio 1 Studios sporting a look only she could pull off: fur coat, grey jumpsuit, python bag, and ankle boots. Don't try this at home!

Who can forget the time she dressed as Cara Delevingne for Halloween?
