Vanity Fair Relaunches the Best Dressed List for 2026

337

Today, for the first time this decade, Vanity Fair released its Best Dressed List and it’s everything we could have hoped for and more! The 10 honorees, and those in the categories accompanying them, were hand-selected by the staff of Vanity Fair from hundreds of suggestions and following weeks of deliberation.

Unlike best dressed lists from other titles, Vanity Fair selected its honorees from a vast ecosystem that includes entertainment, politics, sports, fashion, tech, and even the higher powers in Vatican City.

Within its overarching Best Dressed List, Vanity Fair also identified categories for best dressed, including: perennials, those whose style is enduring; professionals, the industry’s alpha dressers; originals, the most outlandish, innovative dressers; duos, linked ensembles; and the future, the rising generation of style-forward individuals.

Do we agree with every name on the list? Hardly! But that’s part of the fun. Check out all the honorees below.
