Kate Moss best dressed and undresed    British supermodel Kate Moss is in the news for two very different reasons today. Number one is that she has been named the world’s best-dressed woman by readers of the magazine Glamour. Number two is that a naked painting of her has just been auctioned for $7 million. With or without clothes, Ms Moss seems to be a newsmaker. Regarding her wardrobe and fashion taste, it is the second year running she has picked up the Glamour magazine award. The winner was decided by a poll - 8,000 readers. Kate beat off some well-dressed and gorgeous rivals – model Sienna Miller was second and Sarah Jessica Parker, of Sex and the City fame, was third. Worst dressed included Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. As for the nude painting, that was sold for $7.3 million by the auction house Christies. It was a life-sized portrait painted by British painter Lucian Freud (grandson of Sigmund), done in 2002 while Kate was pregnant. Not a bad few days for Kate Moss.
