Since people were allowed to leave their homes this year, celebs went really hard on their ‘fits in 2021. After spending 2020 in loungewear, it’s only fair everyone got some high glam back in their lives. But, you and I weren’t the only ones breaking out fire looks over the past 12 months — your favorite actors and singers got in on it, too. So, before launching into 2022, here are some of the best celebrity outfits from 2021.
For a casual walk around Manhattan in September, Lizzo served legs for days in an extravagant fur coat that looked like it was right out of Cruella de Vil’s closet. She took it to the next level (if that exists) with a sparkly sash that read, “Don’t be a drag, just be a queen.”
Audrey Hepburn references were plentiful in 2021, but Dixie D’Amelio took the cake with her Breakfast at Tiffany’s Met Gala look this year. The fur hat was so dramatic and over-the-top, I still think about it to this day.
Another necessary 2021 Met Gala look to mention is Rihanna’s Balenciaga parka gown. It looked like her husband mysteriously died on a skiing trip and his will left her all the diamonds.
You can’t have a best-dressed list without Zendaya. The Lola Bunny voice actor looked so cute and playful in her matching Moschino set at the Space Jam premiere. Colorblocking was a favorite style in 2021, but nobody did it better than Zendaya.
