Vanity Fair’s 73rd annual International Best-Dressed List is out in the magazine’s September issue and online now. Once again it’s our/your chance to peruse the honorees and have one or more of these reflex reactions…

• Feign outrage at the glaring omissions and throw seaweed chips at the screen.

• Say aloud to no one that picking the Duchess of Cambridge (also on the cover) was so obvious, then admit it’s a pretty dress she has on.

• Make assumptions about which decisions were politically or financially motivated.

• Actually spot someone new: Sheikha Mozah of Qatar, whose family recently acquired Valentino.

• Question the need for such a list and demand to know, by name, who had final say.

• Quietly gush over Fan Bingbing and singsing her praises for wearing Chinese designers.

• Yawn at another 15-minutes-stretching starlet and/or party girl in loaned and/or gifted couture.

• Conclude that designers and others who work in fashion should be disqualified for reasons that are self-evident.

• Think rappers looks pretty good in a suit and wish they’d do it more.

• Dismissively gawk at a crown royal you’ve never heard of, yet nod approvingly at whichever country’s First Lady made it on.

• At first question the inclusion of Bill Cunningham, but realize that was probably the objective then feel like all is right in the world.
