2022 was full of crazy fashion moments, from Heidi Klum’s dedication to Halloween to Rhianna making pregnant bellies the ultimate fashion statement. And that’s not to mention Kim Kardashian’s Marilyn Monroe moment on the Met Gala carpet. Come join us for a look at the most talked about style statements of 2022 that sparked conversations around the world.
1. Rihanna’s pregnancy reveal
When she stepped out sporting a hot pink bulge, Chanel Barbiecore padded parka, tons of jewelry, and ribbed boyfriend jeans, the world collectively fell in love. She had an effortless, radiant glow and really committed to that revealing New York outfit, even though it was snowing outside. And that was just the beginning: For the rest of her pregnancy, she rocked some seriously jaw-dropping looks, like that see-through lingerie outfit from Dior and a latex crop top from Gucci.
2. Nicole Kidman’s barely-there pleated moment
When Nicole Kidman graced the cover of Vanity Fair in a skin-baring pleated Miu Miu bra and miniskirt, the internet didn’t know what to think. Some thought the schoolgirl look was creepy, while others commented that Kidman was too old to wear the outfit. However, just as many people loved the cover, it left the web completely divided on this jaw-dropping ‘tweak’. Although her stylist had put away a different outfit, Kidman struggled to pull off 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 pulled from a museum to risk harming Kim Kardashian on a red carpet. According to Kim, she was following a strict diet and exercise plan before wearing the dress. Both the diet and the wearing of the dress earned the reality star some criticism, but there’s no denying that her outfit made all the headlines and turned heads all night long.
4. Lil Nas X Peacock with Black Feathers
It’s safe to say that Lil Nas X stole the show at the VMAs, where he wore a stunning halo-inspired headpiece paired with a feather-adorned black hoop skirt. The theatrical look was styled by Harris Reed, who did a similar look for Iman at the 2021 Met Gala. The singer looked like an absolute king and turned heads throughout the night, which was no surprise.
5. Bella Hadid’s spray dress
Technology and fashion are reaching new heights, and Coperni’s Paris Fashion Week show proved it in 2022. Bella Hadid closed out the runway in a white Fabrican gown that was sprayed all over her body in front of the crowd. Many people say that this is the fabric of the future, which makes it a historic moment for fashion people.
Harry Styles is never one for a low-key fashion moment, and he really rocked it in this rainbow sequined Gucci jumpsuit, which was a standout moment in a sea of colorful New York concert looks. In 2022, he did a residency at MSG, released his third album, and headlined Coachella for the first time. We can’t wait to see what the 2023 outfits look like!
7. Florence Pugh pink nipple free
Florence Pugh looked so pretty in pink when she wore this fairytale tulle dress from Valentino. It was 100% transparent at the top, showing everything and making everyone nervous. While we think this dress was a beautiful fashion moment, it received some backlash, as women’s bodies always do. In an Instagram post, she responded with the perfect clap before ending by asking people why they are so afraid of breasts.
8. Timothee Chalamet in fierce backless halter style
Gender fashion is so decade-old, and Chalamet proved it with her backless red silk Haider Ackerman look, which featured a unique scarf-style neckline. Many thought the outfit was too much, but the actor has always blurred gender lines with his looks just like Harry Styles has, and we thought it was a fun and flirty way to defy convention and express his style.
9. Brad Pitt in a skirt
This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve obsessed over Brad in a skirt. Do you remember “Troy”, anyone? He wore it at the Berlin premiere of his movie “Bullet Train,” which makes sense since many European guys are wearing skirts more and more. Crafted in brown linen and designed by Haans Nicholas Mott, we have to say that it looked pretty chic. His confused explanation to Variety magazine, when asked, was. “I don’t know! We’re all going to die, so let’s screw it up.”
10. J.Lo’s crazy wedding dresses
After calling it quits 20 years ago, it makes sense that Bennifer would want to have a big wedding celebration after finally getting back together. After having a private ceremony, they held the most luxurious event possible in Georgia. At the ceremony, J.Lo wore a whopping three custom Ralph Lauren dresses, and we don’t want to know the price. The first was a high-necked column gown with a ruffled train, the second was a pearl-filled chandelier-inspired look, and the third was a seductive mermaid style with a sheer organza hood.
11. Heidi Klum does the worm
Halloween outfits definitely count as 2022 fashion moments, and no one did it better than Heidi Klum, who is always fully committed when her October 31 party approaches. From the creepy to the sexy, she’s done it all, but we never could have expected her to scurry away in this hilarious earthworm that left her armless and unrecognizable.
