Best Celebrity Red Carpet Moments of 2017
When it came to red carpet style, 2017 was more epic than ever. There were sheer gowns, jackets as dresses, and even a princess moment here and there. There were hot pinks and bright reds; not-so-basic blacks; rainbow-colored feathers and more. With Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and Kaia Gerber at the helm, this past year might just go down as one of the most stylish ever. Though it wasn’t easy to choose, we’ve narrowed the best red carpet moments down to a stellar 12. Find our favorites of the year, right here.
Chris Polk/AMA20171/13Selena Gomez
We can’t get enough of Selena’s timeless and classic style, but she floored us all when showing up at the American Music Awards in a dress that looked like an edgy leather jacket with no pants.
Gregg DeGuire2/13Zendaya
Zendaya is constantly surprising us when it comes to her fashion choices, but we’re still totally obsessed with her hot pink gown, worn at this summer’s premiere of Spider-Man.
Pascal Le Segretain3/13Bella Hadid
In Cannes this year, Bella bared it all in a light pink silk gown with a jaw-dropping, up-to-there slit. At moments, she even had to hold it down to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.
Chris Polk/AMA20174/13Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee proved that you don’t need to wear a gown on the red carpet to make a statement, showing up in a killer black suit on the red carpet at the American Music Awards, complete with daring cropped bustier.
Neilson Barnard5/13Kendall Jenner
Kendall has had her share of headline-making red carpet looks but, perhaps, none as daring as her totally sheer gown at this year’s Met Gala in New York City—the ultimate fashion showcase of the season.
Karwai Tang6/13Kaia Gerber
Kaia’s best look of the year was at the recent London Fashion Awards, showcasing one of the biggest trends of the coming season: cascading ruffles.
Emma McIntyre/AMA20177/13Yara Shahidi
Yara went all out at the American Music Awards, wearing a look that was a far cry from the more often worn gown. The star stunned in embellished shorts, knee-highs, and a trench.
Neilson Barnard/NBCUniversal8/13Millie Bobby Brown
Millie can wear pretty much anything and look stunning, but our favorite look of the year was, hands down, her embellished mini dress at the Golden Globe Awards in January.
Theo Wargo9/13Kylie Jenner
Before going fairly social media silent, amid pregnancy rumors, Kylie went out with a bang in a sheer custom Versace gown at NYC’s Met Gala.
Jason LaVeris10/13Zoe Kravitz
Zoe proved the right way to wear a rainbow and still look elegant is by way of a feather gown. With such a bold color palette, she kept her silhouette simple and tailored, winning best dressed of the night at the Emmys—if you ask us.
Victor Chavez11/13Bella Thorne
Though Bella Thorne is most often known for her barely-there daytime looks, taking to social media to promote the most jaw-dropping of the bunch, she looked elegant in a daring red silk gown to promote he GQ Mexico cover in October.
George Pimentel12/13Elle Fanning
Elle has more fun with fashion than most, trying some of the most head-turning looks out there. She had her total princess moment, though, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
