Another year has come and gone. So it’s only right that we look back and give flowers to the celebs that kept us in awe of their looks all year. The ones who pushed us to be bolder, brighter, to take risks — and most importantly, to have fun with our wardrobe.
Here are 15 celebrities that slayed all of 2022.
Rihanna single-handedly redefined maternity fashion with just her pregnancy reveal alone. Strutting through the cold winter streets of NYC with a belly chain, bright pink puffer jacket, and a flawless beat? Yes, that’s only something Rihanna could pull off.
The mother-to-be changed the way we view Instagram reveals as well, as Rih Rih chose to sport a casual football jersey for hers.
No one was going to say no to the 41-year-old music legend instructing us to “release our jobs” on ‘BREAK MY SOUL” earlier this year. Just like no one was going to deny the amazing looks Beyoncé served up for the rollout and release of her latest album Renaissance — the reign of Queen Bey will never end!
Fans were left in a frenzy when Nicki Minaj popped out in this green Hanifa Official coat, Roberto Cavalli bodysuit, and Paris Texas skirt and boots. Prior to that, Minaj also served up her signature Barbie style in the “Blick Blick” music video alongside Coi Leray.
The pilates industry definitely has Lori Harvey to thank after the 25-year-old stepped on the Met Gala carpet. And revealed the fitness activity to be the secret behind her steel abs. Since then, Harvey hasn’t taken her foot off our necks — I mean, who else could dress up as Beyoncé for Halloween and not miss a beat?
At 51 years old, songstress Mary J Blige is looking finer than ever and feeling “amazing.” Just look at that birthday dress — need we say more?
Ashanti’s spicy bikini pictures have definitely sparked some conversation among her former boos and internet users alike. And for good reason. At 42 years old, the “Baby” singer still looks exactly as she did 20 years ago — talk about fine wine!
Ciara inspired everyone to cut their hair into a short bob, dye it brown and rock a cheetah print dress when she appeared at Billboard’s Women In Music Awards. The 37-year-old also inspired us to stick to our fitness regimens with this second slay earlier this month.
Lizzo stole Halloween when she surprised the internet with her Chrisean Rock costume. No one could have done a better job.
Issa Rae looked absolutely stunning when she made her way to the NAACP awards in February. Rae stole the show as the talk of the ‘net and belle of the ball.
Lupita Nyong’o will no longer have to walk the red carpet alone. In fact, it’s only right for the star who always serves up a red carpet slay to have the right partner by her side. Nyong’o, we say, has definitely found hers.
We love a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum when it comes to fashion. And Jayda Cheaves is definitely that woman. After all, how else are trends started?
From lavish birthday parties to the stage to the red carpet, Latto never fails to deliver.
Chloe Bailey has fearlessly owned her sexy this year. This 24-year-old is living life on her terms, being fearless in her skin, and inspiring us all to do the same.
As much as Yung Miami has stayed the topic of conversation this year — she’s also stayed in her bag, popping out with look after look. Whether it’s for the stage or for the streets, Caresha slays.
JT redefined birthday shoots with her latest one. From the beach blonde, bleached eyebrows, whipped creme ensemble, and cake on the side — what else is really missing?
