In 2022, TikTok may have been the most popular influencer of them all—but we’re probably a bit biased; social media is our job. All things considered, there is no denying the influence of the social media app. But if you’re trying to define this past year through TikTok’s lens, there may be no better, more succinct way to do it than by looking at the posts that you, our @voguemagazine community, devoured by the millions.
The überviral Kardashian/Jenner/Barker clan made the Top 10 list three times, which comes as a surprise to no one. In the fashion sphere, however, an unexpected accessory proved its runaway appeal: Condom gloves, as seen on Botter’s spring 2023 runway, will forever have us perplexed and inspired to stay weird.
No Vogue recap is complete without a nod to the Met Gala, of course. And the numbers don’t lie: The largest fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute reigned supreme and collectively delivered the most viral moments of the year, thanks, no doubt, to the next-level red carpet looks. We look forward to seeing how our favorite stars are going to interpret next year’s theme.
What will 2023’s Top 10 list include? Only time will tell. You know you love us. Xoxo, Vogue Social.

We posted this 2021 throwback ahead of the 2022 Met Gala because we literally couldn’t stop talking about this moment between Meg Thee Stallion and livestream host Keke Palmer. We would be at our desks singing it every day: “It’s Meg Thee Stallion, you know it’s your girl!” Now it’s in our heads again.

Our hearts are with every social media manager who survived the Kim and Pete relationship of 2022.

Were they balloons? Were they condoms? Our hands are tied and covered in mysterious blue goo when it comes to this hotly debated topic from Botter’s runway. Who says fashion can’t be fun (and slightly naughty)?

If you somehow escaped this video of Bella Hadid having a dress spray-painted onto her body on the Coperni runway…first of all, we take that personally. Second of all, here’s your chance. (Unofficial third of all: Seeing your Halloween costumes gave us life.)

We’d love to be a fly on the wall during date night with Brooklyn and Nicola. The cheese wheel is mandatory, thanks!

Not many people know this, but the hallway where stars wait to hit the Met Gala red carpet is where the real show begins. You never know who you’ll find—or who they’re standing next to. The Kardashian/Jenner/Barkers do tend to stick together.

No, we were too stunned to speak. That is all.

We here at Vogue Social love Jenna Ortega, and not to say we’re psychics, but we knew she’d nail her role as Wednesday—we maybe even had a neck-roll vision about it. Before her spooky debut, we got to hang out with her in Paris ahead of Valentino’s spring 2023 runway show. The supporting character? Her custom chunky platforms.

A brave foray into the viral TikTok trend of “Most Likely To” actually worked. Luckily, we got the chance to kick it off with a pretty solid group. Watch it back if you’re wondering.
