Anna Wintour has received the highest honour - Dame Commander (DBE) - in the the New Years Honours 2017 list.
The editor-in-chief of US Vogue has already received an OBE for her services to the fashion industry in 2008, but her new title is the female equivalent to knighthood - given to British nationals based abroad.
