Part One is here! Let’s get back into these looks!
Teyana Taylor in Balmain at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood Party

Is this chic? Elegant? No and no. What it is is high impact. In fact, Teyana Taylor works so consistently at such a high level of impact that she tends to lap any other star unfortunate enough to appear alongside her. What we’re celebrating here is the commitment. She never fails to serve.
Ariana Grande in Archival Dior at the Governors Awards


Surprise! After two straight years of complaining about her pink Glinda gowns, here we are putting one on our list of faves. But this is pretty and delicate in a way some of her poofier gowns never managed. It’s genuinely chic.
Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka at the Cannes Film Festival


Because sometimes, a queen’s gotta remind everyone that she’s a goddamn queen, alright? Speaking of which…
Catherine Princess of Wales at the Windsor Castle State Banquet in Phillipa Lepley


On the most literal of red carpets, the Princess of Wales delivered a slightly surprising twist on her royal style, debuting a new maturity and regalness as she moves up that royal ladder.
Seth Rogen at the Emmy Awards in Etro

Because he’s a boo who never fails to bring it.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Valdrin Sahiti


Does flawlessness need further explanation?
Lily Collins At the Plaza in Balenciaga


We don’t expect a ton of agreement on this one, but Lily Collins has shown a willingness to work the kinds of high-fashion looks that most stars would avoid, if only for the difficulty involved. This is dramatic and practically screams Parisian fashion, which is the entire point of it.
Colman Domingo in Valentino at the Academy Awards


A forever king of the red carpet. No man is doing it like this man does it every time.
Cynthia Erivo in Louis Vuitton at the Academy Awards


Surprise, part two! Yes, in retrospect, it would seem almost inevitable that the Wicked ladies would wind up on this list. Despite our constant complaining about their theme-dressing, there’s no denying they brought high drama to the red carpet on a rigidly consistent basis. This is the best of Cynthia’s witch gowns. And finally…
Zendaya in Louis Vuitton at the Met Gala


There could be no other. While she had a relatively quiet year on the red carpet, Zendaya had no problem reminding us of why she rules it.
