Entertainment had a 2021 comeback, welcoming the return of red carpets. With its revival, a new wave of young celebrity style stars were born, while a handful of established ones took the year to further evolve. Even though many of the most lauded celebrities occupy fields adjacent to or altogether outside of the fashion industry, many of them still find their way into the hearts of fashion enthusiasts all over with showstopping red carpet and street style moments.
With a year in fashion that felt most centered around individuality and experimentation, the outfits from Hollywood were wide-ranging, simultaneously providing inspiration, kick-starting trends, and sparking sartorial debates. Stars like Ella Emhoff emerged into the spotlight almost entirely unexpectedly, while others, like fan-favorite CFDA award winner Zendaya returned to continue a portfolio of ‘fits that began long before red carpets shut down in 2020. If looking back at some of the year’s most influential faces of fashion indicates anything, it’s just who exactly you should be paying attention to in the year to come. From Alexandra Shipp to Timothée Chalamet, here’s everything you need to know about the stylish bunch ahead.
