Nicole, 48, wraps her arm around Wang's shoulders on her cover and wears a striking black and white dress which appears to fit like a glove.

Wang, 31, gushed of Nicole: 'She’s an icon. Both a fashion icon and an acting icon.'

The Aussie actress added 'I can’t believe these gowns; they're amazingly cut and detailed. They're not like what anyone else designs.'

The designer looks pretty dapper himself, wearing a tailored navy suit with satin lapels. 

Zac said of the Dawson's Creek alum: 'When I first saw Katie and her rapport on a red carpet, I saw that magic. Some people are just born with star quality - she comes alive on the red carpet and you can feel this.'

The magazine puts the spotlight on the men and women behind the scenes making Hollywood's A-listers stars look amazing. 

Making the top 25, is Christian Dior, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana and Givenchy to name but a few.

Nicole was married to Tom from 1990 to 2001 and they adopted two children, Isabella, 22, and 20-year-old Connor.

The Jerry Maguire actor married Katie in 2006 after a whirlwind romance and they share a daughter, Suri. 

In June, 2012, the actress filed for divorce in a move that apparently blindsided the Mission: Impossible megastar.

The divorce was finalized within two months.
