The Most Fashionable Celebrities
Whether you scan the red carpet for the latest in celebrity trends or you prefer to get your style inspiration from Instagram these days, there’s no denying the influence our favorite actresses and musicians have on seasonal style and fashion trends.
While most celebrities have access to an entire glam team and endless stylists on speed dial, certain famous folks rise above the rest when it comes to their personal style—both on and off the red carpet—which is something that can only come from a combination of self-confidence and a keen eye for design.
Here, we’ve rounded up a list of 50 of the most fashionable celebrities.
From elegant French actresses to California-cool runway models, these celebrities have some of the most covetable styles on the red carpet (and on Instagram) at the moment.
Rihanna
When it comes to celebrities pushing the boundaries around style and fashion, Rihanna reigns supreme. The elusive musician and fashion designer has been recognized by everyone from Vogue’s CFDA committee to the British Fashion Awards for both her designs and personal style—which are all about celebrating what makes her unique, rather than following existing runway trends.
“When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.”
Cara Delevingne
English model, actress, and singer Cara Delevingne is best known for her signature bushy eye brows and androgynous runway looks—she’s tried-and-tested everything from a glossy bald look to a fitted blazer with little else—but the well-loved actress is most respected for her laissez-faire approach to fashion and the brazen confidence that comes along with it.
“I like a little bit of designer, with a bit of vintage and high street mixed in. I love it when you find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces.”
Rachel Zoe
Fashion designer, best-selling author, and Instagram personality Rachel Zoe mixes her own designs with timeless classics, like vintage Chanel and Hermes, to create her own brand of laid back California-cool meets Parisian model. The ethereal designer prefers to stick with the classics rather than trends, by way of her impressive capsule wardrobe.
“I always say that I don't like it when people follow trends too much, just because it is on the runway. I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.”
Victoria Beckham
For many fashion aficionados, Victoria Beckham is the reigning queen. While the former Spice Girl first made a name for herself in the music industry, her foray from singer to designer came naturally thanks to her unmatched eye and attention to detail that has propelled her into the upper echelons of the fashion industry.
“I love fashion, and I love changing my style, my hair, my makeup, and everything I've done in the past has made me what I am now. Not everyone is going to like what I do, but I look back at everything, and it makes me smile.”
Mary-Kate Olsen
Mary-Kate Olsen’s signature style has been described as everything from boho and quirky to timeless and elegant—and it’s largely due to her willingness to play with silhouettes and push boundaries with fabrics and fits.
“When I was young, clothes were really just about what fit, because Ashley and I were so tiny. So I understood fit before I understood style.”
Ashley Olsen
Like her twin sister, Ashley Olsen has made a name for herself over the years thanks to her fearless fits, fabrics, and keen attention to detail—both with her own personal style and through her The Row runway shows and ready-to-wear collections.
“Mary-Kate and I are very aware of trends and style, but at the end of the day, we don't even think twice about it. It's just, 'What do I feel like wearing today, and how do I want to put it together?'”
Grace Coddington
Former model and creative director at Vogue, Grace Coddington continues to prove that personal style can be fun and playful at any age—even in the hallways of Vogue. The best selling author and style icon has been spotted in everything from luxury pajamas at the Met Gala to oversized, all-black ensembles in the streets of New York—and her personal style just keeps getting better with age.
“Fashion isn't just frocks. It's how we do our houses, our gardens, it's what we eat and drink.”
Anna Wintour
The queen of fashion herself as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour is known as the most influential gatekeeper in the world of international fashion and beauty—but her pared-down style suggests she prefers to dress for herself rather than mirror runway trends. Oversized sunglasses and tweed frocks are her signature style—and you’ll never catch her wearing all black, which she deems as boring.
“Fashion’s not about looking back. It’s always about looking forward.”
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner took the fashion world by storm when she stepped away from filing reality with her family to embark on a career as a runway model. The international supermodel prefers to be relaxed and cozy—but that doesn’t stop her from showing off her fashion chops by way of vintage designer accessories, edgy outerwear, and trendy sunglasses.
“I guess my style's a little edgy but comfortable. I like being comfortable, for sure, and kind of casual.”
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian may be famous for, well, being famous, but the reality TV star has a serious eye for style—and it has only improved over the years. While her style is always over-the-top, Kim has some of the best designers on speed dial and has become somewhat of a muse for everyone from husband Kanye to Olivier Rousteing and Jacquemus.
“I’ll cry at the end of the day; not with fresh make-up on.”
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid is an entrepreneur, international model, and most recently, new mom—and her personal style seems to only improve as she adds more accolades to her resume. The stunning supermodel never shies away from bold runway trends and flashy couture—but she’s at her best when she styles herself at home with sister and fellow model Bella.
“I feel like I try to keep learning every time I step off a runway, I try to get better with each one.”
Bella Hadid
Like her older sister, Bella Hadid has a natural flair for style and stunning natural beauty that allows her to look good in pretty much anything she throws on. While the 24-year-old runway model is known for her bold looks, she prefers dressing down and laid back (and does so extremely well).
“I think there's a right time for everything, and I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason. I always love to dress up, but I usually end up in a leather jacket and boots!”
Beyonce
Singer, actress, advocate, and overall reigning queen of pop culture, Beyonce’s sartorial choices could stop traffic. While we don’t see as much of the elusive star as we used to before she largely stepped away from the limelight, her Instagram content and Ivy Park clothing line leave little to be desired and continue to influence street style across the globe.
“My biggest thing is to teach not to focus on the aesthetic. It’s really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.”
Gemma Chan
Best known for her role as Astrid Leong in Crazy Rich Asians, Gemma Chan’s style is just as elegant and sophisticated as the beloved character she played on screen. Her sophisticated approach to fashion has hit endless best-dressed lists thanks to her keen eye and fearless sartorial choices.
“If you find something you are passionate about, you've got to try. Even if something doesn't quite work out, disappointment is a temporary thing. Regret lasts forever.”
Blake Lively
Classic Americana meets modern sophistication with Blake Lively’s personal style. The accomplished actress is known for styling herself—in everything from cutting edge couture to Forever 21—and her versatility and fashion finesse has earned her a spot as one of Hollywood’s top fashion icons in the process.
“I think it's very attractive when people cook. So I don't wear sweatpants. When you dress sexy to cook, too, it's like, damn, I got a girl who can cook and look like that? And I always have really cute aprons.”
Ariana Grande
When Ariana Grande first started topping the charts, her fashion sense was distinctly cutesy and young, but the award-winning musician has come a long way.
While she may be best known for her ultra-high ponytail and bunny ears, her red carpet looks are grown up, sophisticated, and skillfully thought out.
Selena Gomez
From her hair and makeup to her off-duty looks and red carpet hits, Selena Gomez knows how to look good under any circumstance. Her eclectic style and playful approach to fashion have resulted in some of the best red carpet looks of the decade—and her latest venture in the beauty industry only solidifies her eye for personal style and owning one’s fashion sense.
“I have to admit, at first, it was really overwhelming and I would get stressed about putting things together. Now, it's like trying to figure out a puzzle piece, and I love that...There are so many things that I don't even know and would love to discover more about.”
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman’s sense of style is timeless, unique, and bold—much like the characters she plays on screen. Her signature ginger waves and piercing blue eyes pretty much allow her to look good in everything while her high-end taste and elegance result in unmatched refinement—whether on the red carpet or on Instagram.
“You don’t have to be naked to be sexy.”
Kristen Stewart

“I like fashion because it’s sort of my job, so I’m into it when I have to be. But when I’m not working, I wear jeans and T-shirts. I go to vintage stores all the time to find funky T-shirts.”
Zendaya
Actress, singer, and former model and backup dancer, Zendaya has had quite the career for a 24-year-old—and her bold fashion choices mirror that multi-faceted approach to work and life. Her style is eye-catching, bright, and daring, which has resulted in many best- and worst-dressed list appearances.
“I've gotten to a point with fashion where I just don't care. I wear and I do what I want because I like it, because I am confident in it, because it makes me feel good.”
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is an enigma—there’s no way around it. The 51-year-old superstar places major emphasis on her health, fitness, and overall wellbeing and that commitment to herself translates into her sartorial choices—whether it’s a barely-there red carpet dress or perfectly cut workout gear on Instagram.
“Women should never go without earrings. Passing on them is an opportunity missed.”
Zoë Kravitz
Zoë Kravitz gets her unmatched style naturally—as the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, it’s safe to say that great fashion sense is in her blood. Best known for her laid back approach to dressing, the actress and singer always serves excellent street style and red carpet looks, blending grunge and natural elegance seamlessly.
“Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful.”

“Style is such a personal thing; it's your way to be an individual.”
Iris Apfel
Iris Apfel is something of an enigma in the fashion world. The 99-year-old style icon is best known for her bold, fearless approach to fashion—that has only gotten bigger, and bolder over the years. Her colorful frocks, feathered coats, and oversized spectacles are her signature—all of which only she could pull off.
“I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something just because you think it's in or it's chic I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. Its better to be happy.”
Kerry Washington
From Scandal to Little Fires Everywhere, Kerry Washington plays some seriously badass women on television—and that energy certainly translates into her day-to-day wardrobe.

Tracee Ellis Ross

“For me, fashion started as a way to protect myself—to have a bit of control over how the world perceives me. And I think, for many, that's still the case. I think fashion has evolved for me personally into a form of creative expression.”
Lily Collins
Lily Collins made major waves this year with the lust-worthy looks she donned in her Netflix Original, Emily in Paris, but the actress's off-screen looks are just as expensive and well-curated as her on-screen counterpart. From colorful pant suits to head-to-toe Chanel, the actress has an undeniable eye for design.
“I've always loved fashion design. I love drawing and creating looks and styling.”

Elle Fanning
Elle Fanning is best known for her work in Maleficent and The Great, but the Hollywood starlet has also made a name for herself as a muse to fashion designer Marc Jacobs. As such, Fanning has become one of the fashion world’s most ethereal campaign models, and her personal style reflects that uniquely delicate aesthetic.
“I love Marc Jacobs. He has a vintage flair. But I've always worn a lot of vintage stuff, so it hasn't been a lot of designers. If I see something that I like, I just buy it.”
Lili Reinhart
American actress and poet Lili Reinhart may be synonymous with her onscreen portrayal of Betty Cooper, but the 24-year-old star’s fashion sense is all her own.

Reese Witherspoon
Equal parts sweet and sassy, Reese Witherspoon has given us some of the most beloved on-screen fashion icons of our time (hello, Elle Woods!). The entrepreneur and actress wears many other hats these days, but her colorful, breezy style is as covetable as ever.
