Celebrity calendars had been pretty quiet over the past few years, with months of lockdowns and quarantines postponing premiers and red carpets, and instead events needing to be held ‘behind closed doors’ (no fun at all), so celebrity fashion was forced to take a bit of a backseat too.
But 2022 brought the return of all things fabulous – The Oscars! The Grammys! The Met Gala! – and thank goodness.
Big-name events returned to how we remembered them from years gone by, with red carpets galore ready to whet our appetite with glorious outfits after two years of starvation. And celebrities were happy to oblige.
The Meta Gala, of course, is where famous faces really get to stretch their legs in terms of fashion forward thinking, with stars such as Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain and Jodie Turner-Smith leading the pack with their take on the ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme based on the museum’s In America: An Anthology of Fashion exhibition.
The Oscars, too, provided a backdrop for some of the biggest fashion moments of the year, both on the red carpet and at the after party. Lupita Nyong’o stunned in a gown that looked like the golden gong itself, whereas Uma Thurman and Zendaya wore their own takes on the white shirt and skirt combination.
One of the breakout style stars of the year, Anne Hathaway, took us on a real tour de force of trends with a kaleidoscope of colour and even a reference to her The Devil Wears Prada character Andy Sachs.
But it's not just the women raking in the style points at star-studded events this year, the men are at it too.
Michael B. Jordan’s canary yellow suit quite literally lit up the Black Panther 2 premiere red carpet, and Brad Pitt chose some bold looks at a series of events for his film, Bullet Train, over the summer, with his take on the vibrant coloured linen two-piece and a skirt suit.
Elsewhere, Timothée Chalamet’s tight relationship with designers was apparent once again at several events, from his backless red Haider Ackermann jumpsuit at the Venice Film Festival, to his take on the tuxedo at the 2022 Oscars: a sparkling Louis Vuitton jacket, sans shirt beneath, of course.
As the 2022 season is coming to a close, we take a look back at the best celebrity fashion looks of the year.

Republicans in North Carolina and nationally are assessing the potential fallout for former President Donald Trump from a bombshell report alleging that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the party's gubernatorial nominee, posted disturbing and inflammatory statements on a forum of a pornographic website. CNN reported Thursday that Robinson, behind an anonymous username he allegedly used elsewhere, made the comments more than a decade ago, including supporting slavery, calling himself a "black NAZI" and recalling memories of him "peeping" on women in the shower as a 14-year-old. ABC News has not independently verified the comments were made by Robinson, and he insisted in a video posted to X prior to the story's publication that "those are not the words of Mark Robinson."

An 86-year-old woman who had suffered a suspected heart attack waited 25 hours in a hospital corridor for a ward bed - before giving up and going home. Maria Bodea, 86, had a suspected heart attack failure at home and was taken to St Helier Hospital, Sutton, London, by ambulance. But there were no ward beds available and the gran-of-two was put on a trolley bed in a corridor with up to 20 others, her family say. Widow Maria and her daughter Sanda Ghiurcusor, 57, were stationed next to a door leading outside, forcing them to wear wooly hats to keep warm. A spokesperson for Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust said: “While we always do our best for our patients, these are not the conditions we want to care for them in and we are really sorry that Mrs Bodea did not have a good experience. “When our services are exceptionally busy, as they are at the moment, we sometimes have to care for people in other areas of the hospital until a suitable bed becomes available - this is always only a temporary measure and patients are supervised by clinical teams at all times.”
