2022 was filled with insane fashion moments, from Heidi Klum’s dedication to Halloween to Rhianna making pregnant bellies the ultimate fashion statement. And that’s not even mentioning Kim Kardashian’s Marilyn Monroe moment on the Met Gala carpet. Come with us to take a look back at the most talked about style statements of 2022 that sparked conversations worldwide.
1. Rihanna’s pregnancy reveal
When she came out rocking the bump in a hot pink, Barbiecore puffer parka by Chanel, tons of jewels, and ribbed boyfriend jeans, the world collectively fell in love. She had an effortless, radiant glow and was truly committed to that NYC reveal outfit, even though it was snowing outside. And that was just the start – throughout the rest of her pregnancy, she wore some seriously jaw-dropping looks, like that sheer Dior lingerie get-up and a Gucci latex crop top.
2. Nicole Kidman’s barely-there pleated moment
When Nicole Kidman graced the cover of Vanity Fair in a skin-bearing Miu Miu pleated bra top and micro-miniskirt, the internet did not know what to think. Some thought the schoolgirl look was creepy, while others commented Kidman was too old to wear the outfit. However, just as many people loved the cover, leaving the web completely divided on this jaw-dropping ‘fit. Although her stylist had set aside a different outfit, Kidman fought to wear the Miu Miu pieces.
3. Kim K’s Marilyn Moment
While some people were upset that Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress was taken out of a museum to risk damage for Kim Kardashian on a red carpet. According to Kim, she was on a strict diet and workout plan before wearing the dress. Both the diet and the wearing of the dress earned the reality star criticism, but you can’t deny that her outfit was all over the headlines and commanded attention all night long.
4. Lil Nas X peacocking in black feathers
It’s safe to say that Lil Nas X stole the show at the VMAs, where he wore a towering, halo-inspired headdress paired with a black feather-adorned hoop skirt. The theatrical look was designed by Harris Reed, who made a similar look for Iman at the 2021 Met Gala. The singer looked like an absolute king and turned heads all night long, which wasn’t a surprise.
