10 Iconic Fashion Moments of 2022

A definite showstopper moment that transcended fashion this year was Bella Hadid in Coperni’s white spray-on dress. It was a magical moment where fashion, art and technology all converged. Iconic beyond doubt, the dress even became a favourite during the Halloween season.

No one rocked their pregnancy fits this year better than RiRi. Our favourite of the lineup? The iconic crystal Miu Miu set from the house's Fall/Winter 2022 show. But of course, when it comes to Rihanna, she made it her own. The self-made billionaire wore the dazzling set cropped to show off her baby bump and curves as a soon-to-be mom.

Arguably the biggest event in the fashion calendar is the Met Gala and this year’s theme – Gilded Glamour brought out many a glam celebrity. Undoubtedly, the star of the show was Blake Lively in her custom art-deco gown that was inspired by New York landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.

A Celine muse, Blackpink’s Lisa stunned when she showed up to the Homme Summer 2023 fashion show in a slinky, sparkly number. Sequined and sexy, her look on the red carpet was definitely an unforgettable moment she finally rocked a hairstyle that showcased her rarely-seen forehead.

When Florence Pugh turned up to Valentino’s Couture show in Rome this year in a bright pink semi-sheer gown, she was not expecting the frenzy it caused. Many naysayers took the opportunity to comment on her body, but the Don’t Worry Darling actress stepped up in a public Instagram post to put them to bed.

Two is better than one, and Gucci did a stellar job at showing us why with their Spring/Summer 2023 show. Inspired by his two mothers growing up – his mother and her twin sister, the show had us reflecting on multiple levels. Now that Alessandro Michele has departed from the Maison, we wonder how Gucci will transform and evolve.

Decidedly not a collaboration, the Fendace collection is where luxury powerhouses Fendi and Versace played with house codes like never before. The Maisons each adopted and swapped elements to create an enduring collection brimming with monograms, character and poise.

Another key player in the fashion world is Jennie from Blackpink. The "Human-Chanel" (as she’s been dubbed by netizens) dressed to impress again, at Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2023 presentation. She wore a fluffy cream dress with a matching longline cardigan and finished the cute ensemble with knee-high boots.

In the Sex and the City reboot series, ‘And Just Like That…’, Carrie Bradshaw (as played by Sarah Jessica Parker) was seen carrying a pigeon – more specifically, JW Anderson’s hyperrealistic Pigeon Clutch Bag in her hands on the streets of New York. Kitschy and campy, we love this surrealist moment.

At her wedding to Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian wore a custom mini Dolce & Gabanna dress inspired by Italian lingerie. But her ultra-long veil featured a giant depiction of the Virgin Mary, and the words “Family, Loyalty, Respect”. Talk about duality!
