Kate Moss comeback picks up steam

updated 3:23 p.m. ET July 31, 2006

NEW YORK - Kate Moss, wearing long white gloves, leather boots and a white fur hat, graces the cover of Vanity Fair’s September issue.

The 32-year-old supermodel also appears in a photo spread inside the magazine, on newsstands Aug. 8. In two photos, she sports an androgynous look — wearing a black hat, jacket and tie — inspired by Marlene Dietrich. In another, she channels Dietrich in the 1934 movie “The Scarlet Empress” by posing in a white gown draped around her waist.

Moss has the top spot among the rich and famous featured in the magazine’s international best-dressed list for 2006.

Other sharp dressers include George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Renee Zellweger, Gwen Stefani, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, CNN newsman Anderson Cooper, filmmaker Sofia Coppola, Prince William and Jordan’s Queen Rania.

The sexy Vanity Fair cover is the latest move in Moss’ career comeback. She entered a drug rehab clinic in Arizona last year after pictures of her allegedly using cocaine were published in a British tabloid. In June, prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to charge Moss.

Although Moss lost contracts with Chanel, H&M and Gloria Vanderbilt after the photos were published, she has signed new modeling contracts and appeared on several magazine covers, including the December issue of Vanity Fair.

She has maintained her relationship with Burberry, and can be seen in the company’s new ad campaign.
