The Fashion-Forward Women Who Slayed 2018 in Style
So many celebs dressed to impress this year, but there were a few standouts who consistently made a memorable impression on the red carpet and on the street.
Whether it involves an evening gown or a low-key denim ensemble, these stars made a statement wherever they went. See our picks for the best-dressed A-listers of 2018.
Priyanka Chopra
All eyes were on the Quantico actress this year! The former Miss World got hitched to Nick Jonas following a fast track to romance that had everyone gushing. For their wedding celebrations, which spanned over multiple days, Chopra served many looks, including a stunning custom Ralph Lauren gown she wore for the couple's Christian ceremony. Next to her dressier ensembles, we absolutely love Chopra's street-style outfits, which constantly experiment with of-the-moment trends and color while still maintaining polish.

Zendaya
A true style chameleon, The Greatest Showman actress can pull off literally any type of design flawlessly. She's daring, never boring, and makes the most challenging trends -- from colorful feathers to immense volume -- her own. In other words, she wears the clothes, not the other way around.

The musician-turned-actress affirmed her status as a bona fide movie star not only from her laudable performance in A Star Is Born, but also on the red carpet. Pulling out all the stops, Gaga served some of the most memorable, enchanting fashion moments of the year in jaw-dropping gowns at the film's premieres.

Bella Hadid
The model is literally a pro at looking good in anything she wears, from edgy athleisure to haute couture. One day she'll step out in a chic, street-style outfit with vintage accessories sprinkled in and at night she'll turn up in either a sexy, sheer number or a breathtaking formal gown. Hadid keeps us guessing and we prefer it that way.

Zoe Kravitz
The innate cool-girl aesthetic is in her blood as the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, but the Big Little Lies actress' sense of on-point style is all her own. Kravitz's looks this year boasted a series of standout Saint Laurent black dresses only the fashion darling can elevate to another level.

Since then, Markle has brought modern flair to traditional royal style via a host of varying outfits -- from fancy gowns to skinny jeans. She adores shoulder-baring necklines and sleek silhouettes courtesy of a combination of luxe designers, affordable brands and sustainable lines.
