When it comes to stylish royals, Kate Middleton is often the first to jump to mind. Whether it's her hair, her penchant for thematic dressing, or even that wedding dress seen around the world, it's no doubt that the Duchess of Cambridge has well-earned her fashion icon status. But it's a big world out there, and Middleton isn't the only stylish royal we can obsess over. Here, our favorite nobles who have wardrobes to die for.
Princess Keisha Omilana of Nigeria: California-born Keisha Omilana married Nigerian prince Adekunle Adebayo Omilana and became a real life princess. But before that, she actually worked in the fashion industry as a model (namely, in a couple of Pantene commercials!). (Photo via Mike Coppola/Getty)
Princess Charlene of Monaco: The South African-born Olympic swimmer is married to Prince Albert of Monaco (which makes her Charlotte Casiraghi's aunt). The athletic princess loves her designers, and is often spotted wearing the likes of Akris and Giorgio Armani (who designed her custom wedding dress, no less!) (Photo via Pascal Le Segretain/Getty)
Queen Rania of Jordan: There couldn't be a best-dressed royal list without Queen Rania of Jordan. The social media savvy queen (she has an Instagram account that boasts almost 3.6 million followers), who is Muslim, proves modest dressing and style go hand-in-hand.

Queen Letizia of Spain: Queen Letizia was a news anchor and journalist when she met the then-Prince Felipe (he supposedly asked a journalist pal to set them up). The 44-year-old is a major patron of local Spanish designers and brands like Felipe Varela and MANGO. (Photo via Juan Naharro Gimenez/Getty)
Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand: The daughter of Thailand's current king, Nariratana is a staple at Paris Fashion Week and has even shown her own collection at the biannual event. (Photo via Pascal Le Segretain/Getty)
Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis of Germany: It doesn't get more stylish than Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis. The princess has actually been British Vogue's style editor-at-large since 2012. (Photo via Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/WireImage)
Princess Sofia of Sweden: Before her 2015 nuptials to Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia was a model and reality show contestant (yes, for real). Now, the brunette beauty is smashing maternity style (she's expecting her second child next month). (Photo via Patrick van Katwijk/Getty)
Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck of Bhutan: The 27-year-old queen consort of Bhutan usually wears traditional Bhutanese dress, which is often made with brightly colored silks. (Photo via Jun Sato/WireImage)
Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco: While she carries no official titles as Princess Grace Kelly's granddaughter, Charlotte Casiraghi has the kind of innate poise and elegance most of us can only aspire to. She was named Vanity Fair's Best Dressed in 2006, covered Vogue in 2011, and is always FROW during fashion week. (Photo via Matthias Nareyek/Getty for Kering)
Princess Noor Pahlavi of Iran: The American-born princess lives and works in New York City (yes, even royals work), but she's often photographed at society events. The 24-year-old was named on the Best Dress List of Harper's Bazaar Arabia in 2017. (Photo via Bennett Raglin/Getty for Coach)
