Zendaya

Listen, picking a favorite Zendaya look is like asking a parent to pick their favorite kid. Its cruel and unfair. However, if we were going to highlight one truly stellar moment, it would have to be her instantly iconic wet-looking Balmain dress at the Venice Film Festival. We are not worthy!

Zendaya and Tom Holland

We bow down to the first couple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who delivered a swoonworthy showing at the L.A. premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home with an assist from their stylist, Law Roach. And Zendaya's mask? Perfection!

Lady Gaga

We swear on the father, son and House of Gucci that we have never been disappointed by Gaga's red carpet game, but she took it to another level for this press tour.

Billie EIlish

We love a dramatic transformation and the Grammy winner delivered just that when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Met Gala rocking a glamorous peachy cotton candy gown with a flowing train by Oscar de la Renta. With her then-blonde hair styled into bombshell curls, Eilish was serving a Marilyn Monroe moment for the ages.

LIl Nas X

Forget looks, Lil Nas X served a whole performance with his outfit changes during his Met Gala debut, ultimately revealing a gold armor suit.

JoJo Siwa

Speaking of glam makeovers, one of 2021s unexpected delights has been seeing the Dance Moms star's style evolve from tween to Dancing With the Stars queen. And that journey started with her sophisticated yet still playful look at the 2021 American Music Awards.

Angelina Jolie and Family

It was a family affair for the ages at The Eternals world premiere when Jolie was accompanied by five of the six children she shares with ex Brad Pitt: Maddox, 20, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and 13-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Adding excitement to the kids' appearance was the fact that Zahara and Shiloh wore dresses their mother had previously worn to the 2014 Oscars and a charity event last July, respectively.

Even though she didn't win for her performance in Promising Young Woman, Mulligan was still so golden at the Oscars.

Timothee Chalamet

Oui oui, Chalamet just has that swagger to pull off anything and his silky silver suit for The French Disptach's premiere at the Venice film festival was a shining example.

Sarah Jessica Parker

We will forever be carried away by the looks SJP serves us and her whimsical and elegant frock and cape for the And Just Like That... premiere was another example of her mastery of the art of the red carpet.

Only the lovable Ted Lasso star could rock a tie-dye hoodie at the Golden Globe Awards.

Dakota Johnson

Johnson's metallic moment in a Gucci gown at the Venice Film Festival was easily our favorite installment in the 50 Shades of Grey film franchise.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

And the award for most interesting couple on any red carpet goes to the twin flames, who always deliver a headline-worthy appearance. But their outfits at the MTV Video Music Awards were the perfect mix of sex, drugs and rock and roll-inspired chic.

Our love for this man and the beautiful purple sherwani he wore with aplomb at The Eternals world premiere is, well, eternal.

We are green with envy that we did not get to witness Union rock the s--t out of this gown at the Fashion Awards.

Gwyneth Paltrow

For the Gucci Love Parade, the Goop founder brought back her iconic Tom Ford red velvet tuxedo, which she originally wore to the 1996 MTV Movie Awards. Twenty five years later, it's still just as powerful.

The Duchess of Cambridge had us shaken, not stirred when she broke out this glam Jenny Packham gown for the No Time to Die premiere.
