The Most Stylish Icons of 2024: A Year in Fashion

Throughout 2024, CNN Style spotlighted the most buzzworthy celebrity fashion moments each week, ranging from Heidi Klum’s unforgettable E.T. Halloween costume to the viral Harris-Walz camo caps on the campaign trail.
The styles on display were as varied as they were memorable—spanning bold red carpet appearances to unexpected streetwear statements (like Rosalia’s surprising straitjacket look in New York). While not every outfit was universally admired, they all turned heads, capturing the spirit of fashion’s boundary-pushing ethos.
To celebrate a year of remarkable style, we’ve compiled a list of 2024’s top fashion highlights.
Zendaya led the fashion game in 2024, earning the most "Looks of the Week" nods. From her stunning appearance at the "Dune: Part Two" premiere in February to channeling Cher’s glamour at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in October, she continually set the bar high. So impactful were her fashion moments that Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar hinted in September at writing a film inspired by her and her trusted stylist, Law Roach, according to Vanity Fair Spain.
