Looks of the Year: The most stylish people of 2024
CNN
From Zendaya to Naomi Osaka, here’s a round-up of 2024’s most talked-about outfits.
Each week of 2024, CNN Style has delved into the standout or most talked-about celebrity fashion moment of the last seven days, from Heidi Klum’s show-stopping E.T. Halloween costume to the internet-breaking Harris-Walz camo caps released on the campaign trail. Not all ensembles were enviable, of course. Looks ranged from flamboyant red carpet moments to surprising celebrity street style (remember when Rosalia was spotted wearing a straitjacket while out in New York?). But there was merit to each of them, and most were, at the very least, head-turners — something fashion should always aspire to be. In honor of documenting a year’s worth of compelling outfits, we’ve curated fashion’s 2024 superlatives below. Zendaya has claimed more Looks of the Week than any other celebrity since our series began. This year, her stand-out outfits came from the “Dune: Part Two” premiere in February and her glamorous nod to Cher at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in October. The actor’s fashion chops are so highly regarded, Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar let slip in September he was considering writing a film about her and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, according to Vanity Fair Spain. While competition was tight — no press tour has been the same since Margot Robbie’s dedicated doll dress-up schedule for “Barbie” — this year there was one clear winner. For the past eight months, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have diligently donned their character’s colors of green and pink at nearly every photo call or red carpet. No matter public opinion, a dress code that lengthy is worth acknowledging. In 2024, accessing museum-grade archives is still one of the biggest flexes for a fashion-forward celebrity. For the MTV VMAs red carpet in September, Sabrina Carpenter arrived in a 1991 vintage Bob Mackie sequined gown custom originally made for Madonna.
