UK fashion designer Stella McCartney has been made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday honours for her services to fashion and sustainability.

McCartney, the daughter of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda, a photographer, is famed for vegan and vegetarian products as well as a star-studded fan base for her clothes.

From her early days in the industry to date, McCartney has been a high-profile campaigner championing environmentally-friendly methods of making clothes and accessories, as well as cruelty-free fashion.

She also designed the uniforms worn by athletes representing Britain at the 2012 London Olympics.

Her high-profile customers have included singer Madonna, for whom she designed a wedding dress, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and model Kate Moss. Her red carpet designs include the outfit Kate Hudson wore at the 2001 Oscars, and the one Jamie Lee Curtis wore at this year's event. In 2018 she created the reception dress for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to wear after her wedding to Prince Harry.
