Hollywood Stylists Rank 2026's Top 26 Red Carpet Looks

The Hollywood Reporter's inaugural stylists' survey ranks the top 26 celebrity looks of 2026, based on votes from over 50 of Hollywood's leading stylists. The list highlights emerging designers like Matières Fécales alongside established houses, with Zendaya's feathered gown taking the top spot. The survey reveals key trends, including feathers, sheer fabrics, cutouts, and two-piece looks dominating red carpets. Zendaya's "Ange" gown by Matières Fécales, styled by Law Roach, was the most-voted look, followed by Emma Chamberlain's hand-painted Mugler Met Gala dress and Chase Infiniti's sequined Thom Browne creation. Other notable entries include Nicole Kidman in Chanel, Rihanna in Maison Margiela, and Charli xcx in Saint Laurent. The list also features men's fashion moments, including Paul Anthony Kelly's Celine homage to JFK Jr. and Pedro Pascal's unconventional Chanel tuxedo shirt at the Oscars. Ties were broken using stylist rankings, with the methodology prioritizing vote counts. The survey reflects fashion's growing idolization of Zendaya, who could have claimed multiple spots, and highlights the influence of stylists as the industry's primary tastemakers.
