The first month of 2024 is wrapping up, and although this not-so-dry January felt incredibly long, I’m thrilled to look back at some of the month’s best-dressed celebrities. Based on these, we’re off to a strong start, and there’s plenty to look forward to. Fashion month and award season have both kicked off, after all, with the Golden Globes, Emmys, and Critics’ Choice Awards all held this month, meaning there’s even more fodder than usual. From stunning crystalline gowns to shoppable yoga pants—plus Zendaya’s $2 socks—there’s a lot of fashion goodness to break down. Here, find the best-dressed celebrities of January.
