2017 In Review

The Definitive List of the 25 Best Red Carpet Looks Of 2017, from Emma Stone in Valentino to Solange in Gucci

For every dull A-line dress in 2017 there were also plenty of standout moments that celebrated fashion with a capital F. This year, those moments came thanks to celebrated actresses, like Big Little Lies co-stars Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Nicole Kidman, the latter who had something of a momentous 2017, appearing in a multitude of projects that kept her a step-and-repeat regular. It was also a breakout year for newcomers, including Spiderman: Homecoming stars Laura Harrier and Zendaya, who made the Marvel universe a bit more chic with their fashion-forward approaches to red carpet dressing. Also coming off a particularly stylish year were Hollywood's favorite star, such as Brie Larson, Margot Robbie, and Emma Stone. Here, take a look at the 25 best red carpet looks from the past year.
