Myha’la
Sculptural Luar! Bejeweled Miu Miu! Myha’la might be new to the red carpet, but she’s burst onto the style scene with undeniable confidence. The actor—who gained attention for her roles in Bodies Bodies Bodies and Leave the World Behind—has been captivating audiences once again as Harper Stern in the chaotic corporate drama Industry. Her fashion focus? She never shies away from theatrical silhouettes and blingy finishes, whether it’s crystals or feathers.
Eva Victor
French-American actor Eva Victor earned her first Golden Globe nomination for her standout role in Sorry, Baby (which she also wrote and directed—no big deal). Even cooler than being a triple threat? She has all the makings of a true fashion star. Her leather Loewe suit at the 2025 Gotham Awards was a standout, and her halter Loewe gown at the Governors Awards perfectly captured minimalist chic.
Archie Madekwe
English actor Archie Madekwe (best known for Saltburn and Midsommar) had another eventful year in Hollywood in 2025. He served as both producer and leading man in Lurker, playing a rising pop star who gains a stalker fan. To match the buzzworthy project, he and stylist Felicity Kay have mastered the art of cool, contemporary menswear on the red carpet. He embraced exaggerated lapels and leather blazers instead of the expected wool, creating hip, fun looks with a sense of British cool that never feels stuffy.
Renate Reinsve
The Norwegian actor earned critical acclaim this year for her performance in Sentimental Value (a role that also scored her a 2026 Golden Globe nomination). On the red carpet, she’s proven she has all the qualities of a leading lady. She’s worn an architectural red satin Louis Vuitton gown at the Gotham Awards and a one-shouldered leather gown—also by Louis Vuitton—at the Governors Awards. Her outfits are always dramatic, yet executed with a clear, controlled vision—and we are completely here for it.
Chase Infiniti
Thanks to her breakout role in One Battle After Another, Chase Infiniti landed her first Golden Globe nomination—and her fashion choices have been just as captivating, thanks to the masterful styling duo Wayman + Micah. Whether it’s avant-garde Iris van Herpen ruffles or a mint-green pleated column gown by Louis Vuitton, she favors looks with a strong, powerful shape. She chooses ensembles with a commanding presence, much like her on-screen persona.
Tom Blyth
The English actor’s Hollywood résumé continues to grow. In addition to leading the series Billy the Kid, Tom Blyth has a slew of exciting projects on the horizon, including the 202…The ensemble-cast film People We Meet on Vacation showcases his style. His red carpet looks embody the polished, cool English gentleman—think classic suits, sharp trench coats, and a few snazzy pleated trousers. It all makes us want to join him for high tea on a rainy London day, or for a walk across Hampstead Heath when the sun comes out.
Irish star Jessie Buckley is a major contender for the 2026 awards season thanks to her role as Agnes in Hamnet. While her wardrobe in the film is Shakespearean, Buckley’s red carpet style feels thoroughly modern. Working with stylist Danielle Goldberg, a master of stealthy chic, she favors quietly elegant looks where the finer details reveal themselves slowly. Once you notice them, you’re enchanted. She isn’t afraid to have fun, either—just look at the bold, tiered, feathered Roksanda gown above.
What happens when you star in one of the biggest TV shows of the year? You get a blockbuster-worthy red carpet wardrobe to match, of course. On the Stranger Things season five press tour, Caleb McLaughlin truly came into his own, taking a fun and distinctive approach to suiting up. He’s rocked cool military-inspired jackets from Wales Bonner and classic pinstripe suits from Thom Browne. Someone’s done their fashion homework—and we can’t wait to see what’s next from the 24-year-old.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2023’s Bottoms, Havana Rose Liu has stayed busy with starring roles in Lurker, Tuner, and the recent holiday film Oh. What. Fun. Her approach to red carpet dressing? Call it New Hollywood—a fresh, youthful take on classic Old Hollywood glamour, complete with plenty of elegant Chanel. Whether it’s a simple but unexpected cutaway or a playful pannier silhouette, Liu knows how to make an exciting impression.
Christopher Briney skyrocketed to heartthrob status on the hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty—and his sleek suiting only added to the appeal. He strikes the perfect balance between classic and cool, often spicing up tailored two-pieces with unexpected touches: a chunky square-toe shoe, or a leather Saint Laurent bomber jacket thrown over the top. He’s mastered dapper dressing with a twist.
