Cardi B
Cardi B has had quite an eventful year! From giving birth to her third child, to taking Paris Fashion Week by storm, we couldn’t get enough of her fashion-forward ensembles this year. The Bronx-native has really come into her own skin, and it’s great to see how her style has evolved over the years. Her ability to transition from streetwear to haute couture in such a seamless way makes Cardi B a fashion chameleon. From Kollin Carter curating the hottest looks, and Tokyo Stylez giving her hair the perfect tease, to her make-up artist Erika La Pearl serving a nasty beat, Cardi B’s glam team is a triple threat.
Beyonce
After her Renaissance tour last year, one would have thought that Beyoncé would have taken a break, however that’s quite the contrary. From releasing her first country album Cowboy Carter, to debuting her hair care line Cécred, and presenting a Whisky brand entitled SirDavis, Queen B is still on her throne. We have to give her credit for fully stepping into character this year with some of the chicest cowgirl looks from designers including Louis Vuitton, Luar, Balmain, and Versace. If anyone’s sure to keep us on our toes, it’s Beyoncé who keeps the tracks coming, and the looks flowing.
Keke Palmer
Watch out ya’ll because KeKe Palmer is confidently stepping into her girl boss era, and she’s on the brink of taking over the entertainment industry. From acting and podcasting, to rocking some of the most tailored and polished looks, it’s clear to see that she can pull off anything. After all, designer Sergio Hudson did proclaim Keke Palmer as his muse, which say’s quite a lot. What we adore most about her style is her ability make a statement and her willingness to take risks. We don’t think there’s ever been a time when we didn’t seeing Keke slaying from head to toe.
Blake Lively
“It Ends With US” actress Blake Lively is undeniably a glamour girl, and her style can be best described as timeless and elegant. It’s evident that she knows what looks best on her model physique, and whether she’s wearing an all white monochromatic look, or walking the red carpet in a floral number, Blake always seizes each moment. In addition to her fabulous outfits, she is also involved in sustainable initiatives including her clothing brand “WearLively” that uses recycled materials to make high quality fabrics. We love a fashionable and eco-friendly gal!
Ciara’s glow up is so real, and we just love that for her! If anyone’s family goals, it’s her and Russell Wilson and their beautiful children. From attending football games to red carpets, and jet setting in some of the most fashionable looks, CiCi is forever leveling up. For someone who gave birth to her fourth child back in December 2023, her snatch back game is too real. Her sporty chic wardrobe that consist of streetwear and urban influences, set’s her style apart from the rest. If there’s one aspect we love most about Ciara’s style it’s the fusion of femininity and athleticism.
JLO
Jenny From the Block does not play when it comes to showing up and showing out, and Jennifer Lopez has been a showstopper all year long. Despite filing for divorce from her estranged husband Ben Affleck, based on how incredible she looked on the carpets and while doing press for her latest films, one would have never noticed.
