Bernie Sanders

After the planet’s most unlikely influencer wore a pair of recycled wool mittens made by one of his Vermont constituents to Joe Biden’s inauguration, demand for quirky knitwear skyrocketed. But don’t sleep on the rest of the Green Mountain State’s contributions to fashion. “We have some good coats as well,” the senator told CNN.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna

America’s hottest couple were the last guests to arrive on the Met Gala red carpet, and undeniably the coziest: Rocky was draped in a repurposed quilt (originally made by a SoCal grandmother) and a custom silk taffeta tux, both by ERL, and Rihanna was cocooned in Balenciaga couture.

Daniel Craig

The bow tie, the gold Omega watch, and the bespoke Anderson & Sheppard tux—apparently sewn directly onto Craig’s body—are all par for the course for 007. The surprising cranberry velvet is what ranks this among the year’s best outfits.

Lakeith Stanfield

This safari-style jumpsuit made waves because it was part of Saint Laurent’s womenswear collection—and because it was undeniably the flyest look at the Oscars.

The ethereal actor wore billowing trousers and jumbo poet sleeves by Schiaparelli as a reminder to us all: Don’t be afraid to size up.

Slinky, sexy, just-right flared trousers and disco-ball bling— this Balmain suit on the second overall pick is a downright fearless NBA draft-night look.

Because sometimes running errands requires a wild outfit.

Kid Cudi

For most male-identifying celebrities, wearing a skirt on SNL would have been plenty. But Cudi kept his gender-fluid Kurt Cobain tribute going with a full-on wedding dress designed by ERL at the CFDA Fashion Awards.

Big fashion accessories of 2021: pearls. Skirts. And, obviously, a custom-made green-faced robot baby to accompany you to the Met Gala.

Jake Gyllenhaal

There is a world in which wearing a baby-pink tuxedo qualifies exclusively as a stunt. This…is not that world.

Haim

The dream of ‘90s Gap is still alive, and it is strong with the Haims (who are in fact wearing the quiet luxury brand of the moment: The Row).

Post Malone

A flex: wearing hard-to-get Chrome Hearts at all. A Post Malone-grade flex? Getting Chrome Hearts to custom-make you a leather trench coat to wear while performing at the Grammys.

What’s that famous Coco Chanel saying? Before you leave the house, add one thing you could have plausibly stolen from a Muppet?

Justin Bieber

Did Justin Bieber just revolutionize business casual? Or is he just giving us one more reason why Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia is our designer of the year.

Jack Antonoff

The super-producer wears Gucci like a pro, which is to say: he wears it with exactly the same spirit and attitude as he does the gnarliest vintage tees in his closet.

A very modern kind of team uniform by the great Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton.

A$AP Rocky

A white tee with jeans is foolproof. A white tee with jeans and, uh, a pearl necklace-turned-wallet chain? Slightly higher degree of difficulty.
