Eau d'Italie Eau de Toilette by Eau d'Italie: Vanity Fair’s Best-Dressed 2018

Dive into the style secrets of this year’s fashion trendsetters with our annual best-dressed list, featuring a sheikha, an N.B.A. star, and a certain royal newlywed, among many more.

What is personal style? A distillation of mood, influences, and wardrobe to create the outward version of your best inner self.

As fashion has democratized, so have our wardrobes. Traditional dress codes for gender, occupation, and occasion no longer apply.

Men wear ruffles, dresses, and heels—N.B.A. stars carry some of the most lusted-after designer bags—and women rock men’s suiting and combat boots like a “proper lady” should.

Whether you favor a signature uniform or a daily dose of artistic expression, we hope this year’s list of fabulous honorees inspires you to take some risks and be fashionably fearless!

We gathered together a style brain trust from a swath of creative industries—themselves all possessed of effortless style—and asked them, along with V.F.’s executive fashion director, Samira Nasr, to nominate the most fashionable folks who catch their eye.
