From the red carpet to the street, from music videos to stage performances, from concerts to festivals, the most stylish celebrities capture the world’s attention with their style, fashion choices and flair.
In this blog article, we will look back through the lens of time to the most stylish celebrities since the year 2000.
Why the year 2000 you ask?
I chose the year 2000 as a starting point because not only was it the turn of the millennium and the beginning of a new century, but it also introduced the era of the super celebrity.
The worldwide web, more commonly referred to as the Internet, was beginning to boom and with this expanded reach for entertainers and other industry creme de la creme, came superstardom.
For the first time in the history of the world, we could admire and draw inspiration from our favourite actors, musicians and entertainers from across the world.
The world of fashion and style, like many other industries, benefited hugely from this global audience. Without further ado, here are the most stylish celebrities since the year 2000.

Few musicians are as evocative, as influential, or indeed as talented as Beyonce.
And less than few entertainers can hold a candle to her stage performances. She is a songstress unlike any the world has seen, or will see for many years to come.
Her songs can make you weep, jump in joy or brood in fomented distress. And her fashion sense is just as evocative.

Catherine, Princess of Wales’s wardrobe is made of elegant, modest, and traditional silhouettes. As becoming a princess married to the heir of the British monarchy.

Known for her bold and outrageous fashion pieces, her exhilarating music and her ability to continually reinvent herself in an industry where old is most often not considered gold.

No other female entertainer holds a candle to Lady Gaga’s red-carpet fashion pieces.
She has kept fashion pundits and fans alike guessing at what she is going to spot and she always goes beyond and above expectations every time.
At the 2010 MTV Music Videos Award show, Lady Gaga wore a meat dress, a literal dress made out of meat!
And to the surprise of no one, the dress was bashed and condemned by Animal rights groups and at the same time declared the top fashion statement of 2010 by Time Magazine.
An entertainer through and through, Lady Gaga will keep churning out the looks and we’ll keep appreciating them.
Or at least the world of fashion will.
Harry Styles
Harry Styles is an English singer. He rose to fame as a member of the boy band One Direction.
The amazing thing about One Direction is it was formed by five former contestants of the British music competition The X Factor, each of whom had been eliminated at some stage of the competition.
Being eliminated from the X Factor didn’t deter them from pursuing their dreams, and One Direction, their brainchild, has become one of the biggest boy bands of recent times.

And doing so with grace and elegance;
In 2018, Harry Styles’s position as a fashion icon was cemented when Gucci made him the face of their tailoring campaign.
And he has continued to inspire many while earning a gazillion fans worldwide with his music and his style.
