The most outrageous celebrity fashion moments of 2022

If nothing else, 2022 has proven that Rihanna is the world’s hottest mom, Kim Kardashian can still break the internet and Heidi Klum remains the undisputed queen of Halloween.

Among the Grammy-winner’s stunning maternity wardrobe, skims mogul Marilyn’s moment at the Met Gala and supermodel squirm-worthy worm outfits, there were plenty of iconic fashion moments that went viral this year.

From jaw-dropping red carpet looks to runway shows made for social media, take a look back at the style trends everyone’s talking about in 2022.

Rihanna’s perfect pregnancy shows

The Bad Gal kicked off the year on a high by announcing she’s expecting her first child with partner A$AP Rocky in January — and flaunting her baby bump in a pink Chanel puffer coat paired with baggy blue jeans and plenty of designer bling. (Highlights include a vintage Christian Lacroix cross pendant and an archival Chanel chain belt.)

And while Rihanna set the stage for her first pregnancy look, she never let her foot off the gas in the months that followed, stepping out in a series of amazing outfits, from Gucci Dior lingerie to a latex crop top from Gucci.

Nicole Kidman’s polarization

None of the magazines that hit newsstands this year sparked as much satirical controversy as the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, which featured Nicole Kidman in Miu Miu’s It-Beaty strappy bra and micro mini dress on the cover.

The 55-year-old Oscar-winning student’s tanned look divided social media in February, with some labeling it “horrible” and “disgraceful” while others called the cover “absolutely disservice”.

Kidman later revealed that stylist Katie Grand had a specific outfit for her, but Miu Miu “coached” her to wear a different sensuality.

Julia Fox’s DIY Denim Duds

In the year 2022 was a banner year for the “Uncut Gems” museum, a whirlwind with Kanye West – a $100,000 dress day, matching moments at Paris Fashion Week and birthday Birkins – making her a star to watch.

“Julie” may not have been around for more than a month, but Fox has continued to prove she’s a fashion force, daring to wear everything from a flaming “pyro coat” to the world’s lowest pants in the following months. .

She also proved herself to be an artisan, creating a cropped skirt from a beach towel and – our favorite – a denim bandeau and hip-burner from a pair of high-rise jeans.

Harry style rainbow sequins

It is “Harry’s house” and we all live only in it. In the year 2022 marks Styles’ third studio album, a 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden and his first headlining gig at Coke. And while a string of colorful outfits have been the expected star of his NYC shows, nothing has captivated fans quite like the rainbow Gucci jumpsuit he chose for his performance at the Desert Music Festival in April.

Kim Kardashian’s Marilyn Moment

Less than a decade after she graced the cover of Vogue’s Met Gala red carpet, Kardashian’s become one of the most anticipated arrivals at the annual event — and this May, she’s got everyone talking by showing up in a Marilyn Monroe “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress. From 1962

Hollywood historians were horrified to see Monroe’s dress pulled from the museum and exposed to damage; Others criticized Kardashian’s “strict” pre-gala diet and exercise plan to fit the historic outfit. Still, there’s no denying that her appearance at the Met night dominated headlines.

Florence Pugh’s nipple-free Valentino

Like her colleague Style, Pugh spent most of 2022 wrapped up in the drama surrounding “Don’t Worry Darling,” but she did manage to deliver some headline-making fashion moments — chief among them the oh-so-barbicore gown she wore to the Valentino Haute Couture show in Rome in July. It was, this was totally over the top.

As the trolls descended, Pugh defended her dress in a lengthy Instagram post, writing, “Not the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman has been told what’s wrong with her body by so many strangers. It’s scary how rude some of you guys can be.”

The actress added, “Why are you afraid of breasts?”

Brad Pitt windbreaker

The Hollywood hunk confirmed that real men will be wearing dresses at the premiere of “Bullet Train” in Berlin in July, beating the summer heat with a brown linen version of Hans Nicolas Mott that took social media by storm.

Asked to explain the ‘ideal’ leak, Pitt told Variety, “I don’t know! We’re all going to die, so let’s mess up.

Jennifer Lopez’s triple wedding dresses

After two decades of separation, Bennifer finally made it official – first in a private ceremony in Las Vegas and later in a ceremony in Georgia.

For the latter’s “I Do” in August, J.Lo wore not one, not two three Custom Ralph Lauren gown: A turtleneck column with a plunging train, a chandelier-inspired look dripping with pearls and an elegant mermaid style with a keyhole neckline and a white organza hood.

Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled” Min

The pop phenom proved she can still light up the place (and keep her Swifties on their toes) when she made a surprise appearance at August’s VMAs in a crystal-encrusted Oscar de la Renta creation.

In addition to making sure all eyes were on the star, the sparkly dress pulled double duty as an Easter egg: the same night Swift will be announcing a track from her new album titled “Midnights” — what else? – “In the Jewel”

Lil Nas X Shiny Feathers

The “Old Town” slayer is no stranger to stealing the spotlight on red carpets, but her hair-doing VMAs ensemble by Harris Reid — consisting of a towering halo-style headpiece and hoop skirt, both adorned with jet-black feathers — may have been. It was his best look so far.

If the theatrics look familiar, it’s probably because Red did a similar head-turning get-up for Iman in gold at the 2021 Met Gala.

Timothée Chalamet’s backless midi jumpsuit.

Few young stars have as much fun with fashion as Chalamet, who appeared at the Venice Film Festival premiere in September.

Fans were quick Praise the “feeling”. The actor’s style has always blurred gender norms, but in 2022 he stepped into something much skinnier.

Anne Hathaway’s Salute to Andy Sachs

Hathaway made plenty of headlines in 2022, but none as viral as her selection for the Michael Kors show at Paris Fashion Week in September, which was similar to her “Devil Wears Prada” feature. The closing scene of the 2006 flick.

Adding to the striking resemblance, the actress teamed a brown croc-embellished leather coat and a black turtleneck dress with Andy-style bangs – and inspired the story’s icy Editrix Miranda Keisley as she sat front row with Anna Wintour. Above all, it was cherry.

Hathaway later said her “DWP” honor was “coincidental,” but we’re not buying it.

Bella Hadid’s spray-on dress

Fashionistas can be very stylish, but jaws dropped at the Copernicus show during Paris Fashion Week, when Hadid shut down the catwalk in a white body-spray dress in front of the crowd. Could this material be the fabric of the future?

Heidi Klum works the worm

The supermodel has dreamed up some pretty creepy (and sexy) Halloween costumes for years, but in 2018 She may find herself in 2022, walking the red carpet at the annual bash dressed as a giant earthworm.

“It’s hard for me to move. I don’t really have limbs,” she told Page Six Style at the time. “I need someone to help me get up when I’m down. I’m stuck in it, you know? It feels a little claustrophobic.

Somehow, Klum’s look became even more outrageous when she shed her skimpy dress to reveal a shimmering nude mesh dress.
