Zoë Kravitz
Zoë Kravitz is the epitome of effortless cool, whether she’s stepping out into a black Saint Laurent slip dress or a pair of jeans, so it’s without question that she’d make our best dressed list this year. Stand-out looks included her cropped waistcoat and pinstripe trousers ensemble which showed off her toned midriff, completed with a bandana and silver wrap-around sunglasses, as well as her reinvention of the retro baseball T-shirt, which she paired with a sheer checked brown midi skirt and black ballet flats.
And how could we go without a special mention to the recent influx of cohesive couple outfits with new beau Harry Styles — that’s one red carpet debut we can’t wait for.
Jenna Ortega
From street style to method dressing on the red carpet, Jenna Ortega has been on an excellent style run in 2025. The actress has become a fixture at haute couture and ready to wear fashion week, demonstrating her aptitude for sharp silhouettes and precise proportions, and even single-handedly reviving the sleeveless military-style jacket. Following on from her Wednesday season two press tour, she’s continued to display a loyal commitment to the gothic aesthetic, with this tailored-to-perfection Dior look an absolute favourite, which no doubt went some way to securing her role as a new ambassador for the French maison.

Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence has been at the fore of celebrity street style for some time, yielding her signature minimalism and off-duty cool with aplomb, but that doesn’t mean she allows herself to take a day off. The Die, My Love actress is a one-woman masterclass in elevating the every day, from white T-shirts to denim and her favourite retro trainers. She started the year bold in New York with a collared leopard-print coat paired with chunky boots, a beanie and cord necklace, before taking things back to the basics in November with a vintage button-through black Dolce & Gabbana midi dress and sharp pointed heels, rounding off the year with an understated, refined look that was unmistakably J-Law.
Victoria Beckham
From palace to city pavements, Victoria Beckham is a master of the art of subtle self-promotion. The designer is, more often than not, sighted wearing her own label with an effortless, elegant approach — unsurprising, considering these are the design codes of her namesake brand. From her favoured funnel neck silhouette to the revival of millennial pink via her knitted cardigan and grey skirt ensemble, there’s yet to be a Beckham outfit we haven’t wanted to recreate. Luckily for us when it comes to sourcing the pieces, we nearly always know where to look.

Rihanna
At this point, Rihanna may as well have a permanent spot carved out on every best dressed list: there’s no-one doing it quite like her. The singer has constructed her own inimitable style — a mix of streetwear influences and high fashion pieces — which has seen her effortlessly retain her reign as the queen of street style through three pregnancies, countless fashion weeks and red carpet events. From her black Simone Rocha tulle top, track pants and archival Puma x Jil Sander spike turf trainers (which felt very London-coded) to her lessons on court dressing (who could forget
Elle Fanning
Elle Fanning has been a breathe of fresh air on the street style scene this year: her breezy, effortless ensembles feel fresh and elegant. While many rely on darker hues as a safe bet, Fanning has opted for a softer, brighter palette, from blanched whites to butter yellows, dreamy boho pastels to light-wash double denim, demonstrating a key understanding of her colour palette and how to repurpose it for every conceivable occasion. When we saw the actresses crisp white shirt dress at Cannes, with its popped collar, complementing nautical-inspired bag and tan sandals, we could practically feel the Riviera breeze on our faces.

Ayo Edebiri
If you haven’t been obsessed with Ayo Edebiri’s style this year, you haven’t been paying attention. The Bear star has nailed down a style that’s unimpeachably cool, distilling both the downtown vibe of New York City with the refined polish of LA. Her outfit pictured here is perhaps the best example of her singular approach to dressing: oversized athletics-inspired shorts paired with delicate black heels? A long-sleeved white T-shirt with a black jumper slung around the shoulders and ’90s oval glasses? We’re awarding this as the ultimate street style look of 2025. With the actress being announced as an ambassador for Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel this year, we’re sure to see her fashion star keep on rising through 2026. A special mention must also go out to Edebiri’s iconic dog-walking outfit: a draped red mini dress by Proenza Schouler and patent leather black heels, and of course, her Chihuahua mix Gromit. Pure perfection.
Pamela Anderson
We meant it when we said that this was the second coming of Pamela Anderson. The July/August Bazaar cover star has had a stellar year not just in her career, but with her fashion too. She gave her seal of approval to affordable British label Me + Em, wearing a knitted two-piece from the brand in September, had a seat at almost every show of note at fashion week, and showed her love for butter yellow in multiple sunny ensembles. In fact, there really wasn’t a colour Anderson shied away from, embracing every hue from electric satin-y blues to powdery pinks and vivid florals. And lest we forget, her matching bouclé Chanel cardigan-and-trouser combination from early January, which gave us all permission to wear our comfortable sets beyond just the sofa.

Leslie Bibb
2025 was the year we collectively fell in love with Leslie Bibb. After she enchanted us with her performance in season four of The White Lotus, it was her street style that kept us in a constant state of rapture. Working with her stlyist Jeanann Williams, Bibb demonstrated a penchant for tailoring — her Thom Browne houndstooth three-piece suit in March was a standout — and a singular ability to wear almost any shade, pattern and cut with her own style of sophistication. We’re not being glib when we hope 2026 brings more of the Bibb.
Hailey Bieber
C-suite dressing has had a sleek reinvention in 2025, courtesy of Hailey Bieber, who has demonstrated that being a founder and CEO isn’t just a one-suit-fits-all. In between running her billion-dollar beauty brand, the model and entrepreneur has continued to show her innate aptitude for style, running the gamut from business-adjacent events to LA-based date nights. Bieber has influenced us to invest in many a piece this year, from oversized leather bomber jackets to Saint Laurent’s sleek slingback heels, earning her a well-deserved spot on our best-dressed list.
