Between red carpets, swanky events, and IRL sightings, here are the best-dressed celebs of the week.
Who: Mary-Kate (L) and Ashley Olsen
When: July 26, 2016
Why: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen still manage to nail twin dressing, but these days it's not just a throwback to their coordinated outfits of yore. The designers attended the opening of their first Elizabeth and James store in Los Angeles, wearing chic—and surprisingly sweat free—summer coats.
Who: Rihanna
When: July 29, 2016
Why: Sure, fur in the middle of summer is kind of ridiculous, but Rihanna has us thinking otherwise. She paired her Marques'Almeida set with a Fendi fur stole, a Dior bag, and heels by Dsquared2.
Who: Zendaya
When: July 23, 2016
Why: Despite the mystery surrounding Zendaya's role in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film, there's absolutely no question that the girl dresses damn well. She made her debut appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego wearing a playful dress by Kenzo.
Who: Lupita Nyong'o
When: July 23, 2016
Why: Lupita Nyong'o also injected Comic-Con with a little fashion know-how this week, wearing Givenchy. The graphic dress is just another example of her standout style.
Who: Mila Kunis
When: July 26, 2016 i
Why: Mila Kunis attended the premiere of her film Bad Moms in Westwood, California looking like a badass mom herself. She owned her pregnancy in Atelier Versace, breaking maternity style boundaries alongside stylish moms-to-be like Blake Lively and Olivia Wilde.
Who: Emma Roberts
When: July 22, 2016
Why: Emma Roberts gave us a lesson in mixing statement pieces this week, wearing a leather-trimmed floral dress by Giamba and earrings by Sachin & Babi.
Best Dressed: July 21, 2016
Who: Celine Dion
When: July 22, 2016
Why: Celine Dion continues her unstoppable style tour with seven fire looks in 24 hours (!). Our fave of the lot—which also wins her best dressed of the week—is this sequined outfit. With the help of her stylist, Law Roach, Dion paired the outfit with Giuseppe Zanotti booties and a plain white tee.
Who: Cynthia Erivo
When: July 18, 2016
Why: As long as the lingerie-as-outerwear trend continues the way Cynthia Erivo does it, we hope slip dresses never fall out of style. The Hellessy dress she wore to the New York premiere of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is hands-down the best.
Who: Sofia Boutella
When: July 20, 2016
Why: For the premiere of Star Trek Beyond, Sofia Boutella showed us how to rep the film in the chicest way possible, adding a Starfleet command pin to her Elie Saab dress.
Who: Naomie Harris
When: July 21, 2016
Why: We like to call Naomie Harris a sleeper style star: someone who always pulls out the best looks in simple and understated ways. Example? This mixed-lace dress by Self-Portrait and her Edie Parker clutch. She consistently toes the line between on-trend and classic—something we love to see.
Who: Alexa Chung
When: July 16, 2016
Why: Alexa Chung strolled around NYC this week in our ideal summer outfit: a striped cotton dress, flat heels, and a straw bag. Add a bathing suit underneath and this outfit will take you from the city to the coast.
Who: Zoe Saldana
When: July 20, 2016
Why: Saldana comes in a close second for best dressed of the week. The ultra-flattering Givenchy Haute Couture dress and array of rings she wore to the red carpet premiere of her upcoming film Star Trek Beyond was...well, beyond.
Best Dressed: July 15, 2016
Who: Zendaya
When: July 14, 2016
Why: Stepping out on the orange carpet at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards was Zendaya, slaying as usual. And it's no surprise that the singer/songwriter/actress knows how to work a statement top, given the help she gets from stylist-of-the-moment Law Roach. This Moschino bow look is a gift to us all, winning her the title of the best dressed celeb of the week.
Who: Alicia Vikander
When: July 11, 2016
Why: Alicia Vikander is proving that the thigh-slit is alive and kicking, stepping out in Louis Vuitton at the Jason Bourne premiere in London. The antithesis of a typical sequined gown, the matte silver color and soft ruffle accents of this dress are offset by Vikander's muted accessories and tousled ponytail.
Who: Ciara
When: July 13, 2016
Why: Ciara stole the show at The 2016 ESPYS in Los Angeles, California wearing Roberto Cavalli Couture. The plunging neckline and baby pink skirt is feminine yet sultry, which is the very definition of Ciara.
Who: Kristen Stewart
When: July 13, 2016
Why: Kristen Stewart continues her streak of making Chanel look badass, this time at the New York City premiere of her film Cafe Society. Her dreamy lace-up dress, complete with leather arm warmers and ruffled Chanel logos, befits Stewart's fearless wardrobe personality.
Who: Gabrielle Union
When: July 12, 2016
Why: Gabrielle Union looked bangin' in a high-slit dress at the ESPY Awards this week, but it's her daytime look to the pre-party that we're coveting. Wearing Sophie Theallet, Olgana Paris, and Anita Ko jewelry, Union proves that gray plaid (usually reserved for a stuffy suit) can definitely be sexy.
Who: Winnie Harlow
When: July 11, 2016
Why: Model Winnie Harlow wore a Fausto Puglisi riff on ladylike tweed at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors: All Hail The Queens event in NYC. But with its ultra-mini hem, this look is anything but sweet, and that's how we like it. She styled the micro dress with thigh-high gladiator heels, also worn by our best dressed gal Zendaya. Great minds really do think alike.
