The 5 most stylish celebrities of 2023
Rappers and actors dominate the ranking
December 14th, 2023
Every year sees the consecration of new personalities, mostly belonging to the music, cinema, or sports sectors, which manage to generate a strong attraction for a significant portion of the public. 2023 will probably be remembered as a flourishing year for the film industry, witnessing the rise of a new generation of celebrities. In this generational shift in the celebrity system, actors are making a mark not only for their immense acting abilities but also for their recognizable style captured by paparazzi during daily occasions. In previous years, figures like Shia LaBeouf, Jacob Elordi, and Timothée Chalamet had emerged as style icons in Hollywood, but in 2023, they have yielded the throne to new names. The music industry, with its celebrity couples and others, also witnesses several artists emerging as acclaimed style icons. Here are the top five stylish celebrities who have left their mark in 2023. The names were chosen by nss, but declaring the winner is up to you, readers; you can do so on our social channels.
1. A$AP Rocky and Rihanna
This special ranking is opened by the most iconic celebrity couple of the moment, formed by A$AP Rocky and Rihanna. Perfectly matched on any occasion, from gala events to Sunday walks, the two have experimented with every style, showcasing furs and gold jewelry, as well as diverse silhouettes—from regular fit suits to looser ones, encompassing Ivy League style to total looks by Bottega Veneta and Rick Owens. A$AP and Rihanna can feel free to wear whatever they want, whenever they want—they certainly won't hesitate in front of the mirror.
2. Rosalía
Rosalía is one of the most popular artists of the last two years, thanks to her musical style and the incredible vivacity she exudes during live performances. Unlike many celebrities who go viral with increasingly low-profile outfits, Rosalía approached the fashion system during the FW23 show by Louis Vuitton, curated by Colm Dillane. During the event, she performed wearing a total grey look adorned with leather gloves and boots. Considering the latest photos that capture her with Jeremy Allen White, as well as the looks that populate her Instagram profile, we expect to see the artist featured in new candid shots highlighting her true style.
3. Jeremy Allen White
Jeremy Allen White is the third personality in our ranking. The star of the successful series The Bear, with his aesthetics, popularized white t-shirts from Merz b. Schwanen, a simple yet essential item in a man's wardrobe. The James Dean of today has an authentic style: the styling of The Bear perfectly reflects the outfits he wears every day, where white tank tops and short-sleeved shirts are indispensable elements.
4. Pedro Pascal
Would you ever have imagined seeing the daddy of Generation Z wearing a dress? Well, Pedro Pascal decided to surprise everyone by accepting to wear one, providing an unexpected and seemingly contradictory image compared to the perception many have of him. The credit goes to Pierpaolo Picciolii, who showcased the new version of Pascal during the Met Gala 2023. Since then, unexpectedly, Pedro Pascal has transformed from a daddy to a fashion daddy, debuting looks on Saturday Night Live and at the premieres of The Last of Us and Ahsoka, all featuring a common accessory: chunky leather boots. These, paired with unlikely color palettes, complete the aesthetic evolution of Pedro Pascal. In case anyone doubted the actor's coolness factor, he has now perfected every aspect of his style.
5. Paul Mescal
Irish, passionate rugby player, and now also an actor in Ridley Scott's upcoming Gladiator. What more could we ask for from Paul Mescal? Nothing, especially since he has been recognized as one of the many personalities who have redefined the aesthetic codes of menswear. Despite recent shots circulating online portraying him in essential yet elegant looks, where loafers and tailored pants are certainly not to be missed, we will never forget him as the pioneer of the crewneck, shorts, and sneakers style: Shia LaBeouf, it's time to make room for Mescal.
