Why are we so obsessed with Kate? Or at least why am I? I guess I would have to say that her relevance and her longevity in the business amazes me, but it’s also her ability to transform from grunge to glam, from sexy bombshell to dark and edgy, in a snap! I also love her personal style and how she makes anything she wears look cool and effortless. And I’m not sure why but the fact that she’s only 5’7 » also has something to do with it… maybe it makes her a more realistic model to look up to. Finally, can we all look that great when we turn 40… please!
Since today is her 40th birthday, I thought we could celebrate by looking back at 4o of her best magazine covers (scroll down to the end, it’s worth it)!

I HAD to finish things off with this illustration of Kate that made Greek magazine Gynaika’s cover in April 2012. This image proves that she doesn’t even need to be there in flesh to give us the Kate goosebumps.
Happy Birthday Kate!
