From Julia Fox taking the crown for the most ambitious dresser, to Taylor Russell emerging as our newest fashion darling.
It’s just about the end of the year and you know what that means: Time for superlatives rounding up the very best from the past 12 months. And when it comes to celebrity fashion, we had a lot to work with in 2022.
We dug deep through the fashion archives (i.e. red carpets, events, concerts and so forth from January to December) and found 22 stars that we felt defined the year 2022. (Though, we must admit, it pained us to cut some notably stylish celebs from the list.)
Whether it was a fashion-show front row (who can forget when Anne Hathaway paid homage to her “Devil Wears Prada” character?), an industry event like the Met Gala or CFDA Awards (where TikToker-turned-showstopper Addison Rae really shined), an award ceremony or a film festival (no one does it like Jodie Turner-Smith), these people traveled around the world to do what they do best: look fucking amazing in front of the cameras.
From Julia Fox taking the crown for the most ambitious dresser, to Taylor Russell emerging as our newest fashion darling, scroll through (or use the links at left) to see Fashionista’s best-dressed celebrities of 2022.
