  1. 1ZendayaZendayaBorn 1 Sept 1996Zendaya and stylist Law Roach make fashion history part of a film's visual world. The metallic Mugler suit she wore to the London Dune: Part Two premiere in 2024 came from the 1995 couture collection, yet its articulated silhouette felt purpose-built for science fiction.

  2. 2RihannaRihannaBorn 20 Feb 1988Compare the embroidered yellow Guo Pei cape at the 2015 Met Gala with her floral Comme des Garçons construction in 2017. One commands space through a sweeping train; the other builds it around the wearer in layered, petal-like forms. Rihanna makes a compelling starting point for readers who enjoy a…0
  3. 3Billy PorterBilly PorterBorn 21 Sept 1969Porter's Christian Siriano tuxedo gown at the 2019 Oscars gives familiar black-tie ingredients a completely different outline. The tailored jacket and expansive velvet skirt work together, making the change legible before any explanation is supplied. He is worth following for the way a formal dress…0
  4. 4Tilda SwintonTilda SwintonBorn 5 Nov 1960Swinton's pink Haider Ackermann jacket, orange trousers and green sequinned sleeves at Cannes in 2021 turned colour blocking into a precise experiment. Cropped tailoring meets long, wide trouser legs, while the textured sleeves add a third emphatic colour. Her collaborations with Ackermann offer a…0
  5. 5Lupita Nyong'oLupita Nyong'oBorn 1 Mar 1983Nyong'o's 2019 Met Gala look joined a Versace column gown, sculptural ruffled jacket and matching fan into one colourful proposition. Stylist Micaela Erlanger worked with Donatella Versace on the combination, so the accessory belongs to the composition rather than arriving as an afterthought.…0
  6. 6Janelle MonáeJanelle MonáeBorn 1 Dec 1985The oversized Thom Browne coat at the 2023 Met Gala became an entrance with a second act, opening to reveal a sheer pannier structure beneath. Monáe treated the outfit as an evolving experience, making movement part of its design. Start there if a fixed photograph rarely tells you enough about a…0
  7. 7Lady GagaLady GagaBorn 28 Mar 1986Four Brandon Maxwell looks made Gaga's 2019 Met Gala entrance a short piece of theatre. The opening pink cape gown established an enormous scale, and each change altered the pace as well as the silhouette. Watch the sequence rather than selecting a favourite still. Maxwell and the wider creative…0
  8. 8BjörkBjörkBorn 21 Nov 1965Marjan Pejoski's swan dress at the 2001 Oscars still offers a useful challenge to solemn red-carpet taste. Its long neck and head made an animal shape part of the garment, carrying humour into an occasion usually governed by polished formality. Björk is rewarding to follow when clothes operate as…0
  9. 9Cate BlanchettCate BlanchettBorn 14 May 1969Blanchett's blue draped Louis Vuitton top and long black skirt at the 2023 Oscars make a strong colour contrast feel remarkably calm. The loose, reflective fabric above the waist meets a much narrower line below, with the train carrying that line onto the carpet. She offers a useful counterpoint to…0
  10. 10Solange KnowlesSolange KnowlesBorn 24 Jun 1986Solange's circular Giles Deacon dress at the 2015 Met Gala made the outline itself the event. Its broad, graphic form changed how the wearer occupied the photograph, offering an entirely different use of space from a trailing gown. Study the pattern together with the construction. Deacon's design…0
