Vogue’s 12 Best-Dressed Women of 2021
There have been some truly memorable fashion moments this year; from Amanda Gorman’s Prada headband to Kim Kardashian’s haute Balenciaga morph suit. But when it comes to consistently delivering smash hits, these are the women you can always rely on. Despite uncertain times, Zendaya managed to out-gown everyone, Lady Gaga redefined Old Hollywood style with her stripper boots, and Angelina Jolie became a vintage influencer. Here, the 12 stars who decorated our days with really good fashion.

Moss rang in 2021 with a supermodel moment on the cover of British Vogue. A visible underwear moment, to be precise. From then on, it was classic Mossy in action: all eternally chic slips, bootcut jeans made bohemian with velvet blazers, and wildly cool Ibiza kaftans no one else could possibly pull off. Quintessential Kate might never reinvent the wheel, but she’s our favorite reminder that the classics never date, and stealth luxury is often the chicest kind. As Edward Enninful said of his friend in his January 2021 editor’s letter: “There will always be Kate Moss.”

2021 saw Gucci’s new poster girl engage Old Hollywood Gaga – previously seen trailing a spray of pink plumes behind her on the 2018 promo trail for A Star is Born. Channelling the “painful Italian glamour” she does so well, Lady Gaga took on her House of Gucci press duties with the same commitment she brought to the role of Patrizia Reggiani (translation: not breaking character for a year and a half). Stripper heels and glittering Valentino ballgowns aside, 2021 was also the year that Gaga sang President Biden into office wearing a bullet-proof Schiaparelli dress dotted with a dove brooch. A history-making moment if ever there was one.
