Wouldn’t it be nice to move from the virtual confines of a remote red carpet to an awards ceremony attended by real people in the flesh? Well, as 2021 moves towards summer and the pandemic’s grip on our everyday lives lessens, we can expect to see a return to the glitz and glamor we miss so much. 

Still, even in the absence of showstopping awards ceremonies, some of our favorite celebs have kept us entertained by posting their sartorial choice to their respective Instagram profiles. So, without further ado, here are five men and women to keep an eye on in 2021 – in no particular order.

Priyanka Chopra

Indian stunner Priyanka Chopra took home the crown of Miss World in 2000 but has pivoted towards acting in recent times, with a starring role in The Matrix 4 in the books. Blessed with beautiful looks and sartorial style, it’s not hard to see why Priyanka is a favorite with directors the world over. 

Chopra has a good handle on haute couture, wearing designers like Ralph Lauren for red carpet appearances, while opting for miniskirts and two-piece outfits day-to-day. Keep an eye on her color choices: she often opts for striking reds, pinks and even in-your-face aqua. 

Bella Hadid

The Hadid’s have an enormous following, but with Gigi enjoying motherhood, it’s younger sister Bella who has been leading the fashion charge of late.

Look no further than her retro 1960s outfit worn to the Paris Fashion Week in early March, or the tasseled-top-meets-leather-bottoms look she debuted on her profile on March 15th, courtesy of design house Bottega Venetta. 

For up-to-date trends and showstopping style, keep the younger Hadid in your sights this year. 

Harry Styles

It’s all in the name, isn’t it? The One Direction crooner has style in spades and earns his place on this list for several notable outfits, including an attention-grabbing appearance on the cover of Vogue: the first man to be featured front and center in over 100 years. 

Marking the occasion, Styles wore a Gucci dress, and has explained that he likes wearing men’s and women’s clothes. 

“Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. What’s really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away. When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play.”

Hailey Bieber

Member of the Baldwin acting clan? Check. Married to one of the most famous musicians in the world? Check. An established model in her own right? Check. Hailey Bieber has a lot going for her, to the extent that you could forgive her for resting on her laurels, but the American beauty continues to push the envelope, recently rocking a mustard-yellow outfit from top to bottom while out on a trip with her husband. 

This isn’t the first time Justin’s better half has experimented with a solid block of color: for Paris Fashion Week she was decked in purple from head to toe. But if you think it’s only bright colors she’s in the market for, think again: look no further than the black skintight Saint Laurent latex leggings she wore with a black leather jacket in LA in November 2020; or the black leather midi dress by Magda Butrym she rocked a month before that.

Oh, Gal. Radiant, stunning, and a brilliant actress too: how can you not love the real-life Wonder Woman?
