Celebrity calendars had been pretty quiet over the past few years, with months of lockdowns and quarantines postponing premiers and red carpets, and instead events needing to be held ‘behind closed doors’ (no fun at all), so celebrity fashion was forced to take a bit of a backseat too.
But 2022 brought the return of all things fabulous – The Oscars! The Grammys! The Met Gala! – and thank goodness.
Big-name events returned to how we remembered them from years gone by, with red carpets galore ready to whet our appetite with glorious outfits after two years of starvation. And celebrities were happy to oblige.
The Meta Gala, of course, is where famous faces really get to stretch their legs in terms of fashion forward thinking, with stars such as Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain and Jodie Turner-Smith leading the pack with their take on the ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme based on the museum’s In America: An Anthology of Fashion exhibition.
The Oscars, too, provided a backdrop for some of the biggest fashion moments of the year, both on the red carpet and at the after party. Lupita Nyong’o stunned in a gown that looked like the golden gong itself, whereas Uma Thurman and Zendaya wore their own takes on the white shirt and skirt combination.
One of the breakout style stars of the year, Anne Hathaway, took us on a real tour de force of trends with a kaleidoscope of colour and even a reference to her The Devil Wears Prada character Andy Sachs.
But it's not just the women raking in the style points at star-studded events this year, the men are at it too.
Michael B. Jordan’s canary yellow suit quite literally lit up the Black Panther 2 premiere red carpet, and Brad Pitt chose some bold looks at a series of events for his film, Bullet Train, over the summer, with his take on the vibrant coloured linen two-piece and a skirt suit.
Elsewhere, Timothée Chalamet’s tight relationship with designers was apparent once again at several events, from his backless red Haider Ackermann jumpsuit at the Venice Film Festival, to his take on the tuxedo at the 2022 Oscars: a sparkling Louis Vuitton jacket, sans shirt beneath, of course.
As the 2022 season is coming to a close, we take a look back at the best celebrity fashion looks of the year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military on Saturday shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast after it traversed sensitive military sites across North America. China insisted the flyover was an accident involving a civilian aircraft and threatened repercussions. President Joe Biden issued the order but had wanted the balloon downed even earlier, on Wednesday. He was advised that the best time for the operation would be when it was over water, U.S. officials said. Military offi

A former Brampton fire captain has been charged with second degree murder in connection with the death of his wife in the Blue Mountains. James Schwalm, 38, of Collingwood, was arrested on Thursday, according to the Ontario Provincial Police. The body of his wife, Ashley Schwalm, 40, also of Collingwood, was found inside an SUV after the vehicle crashed on Jan. 26. Bill Dickson, manager of media relations for the OPP, confirmed on Friday that the two were married. The OPP said in a news release
Turns out Russia is overselling its "unstoppable" hypersonic missile. Why? Because Mach 5+ missiles still can’t handle the heat, according to a U.S. report.
Brazil sank a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean off its northeast coast, the Brazilian Navy said, despite warnings from environmentalists that the rusting 1960s French-built ship would pollute the sea and the marine food chain. The 32,000-tonne carrier had been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because it was an environmental hazard and the ship was towed back to Brazil. The carrier was scuttled in a "planned and controlled sinking" late on Friday, the Navy said in a statement, that would "avoid logistical, operational, environmental and economic losses to the Brazilian state," it said.

It’s neither good nor bad, just there, always present by my side. It’s the sight of Pamela Anderson, emblazoned on a promotional coffee mug for her 1996 film Barb Wire, sitting atop the checkout counter at a local video rental store. The sight is burned into my brain as plainly as the ink from the pens that the mug housed, which stained
A massive Chinese surveillance balloon that moved across the continental U.S. this week has been shot down. The Pentagon has confirmed the balloon was being used for surveillance, disputing China's claim that it was a civilian aircraft used for meteorological purposes. Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said the balloon didn't pose a physical or military threat, and once it was detected, the U.S. took steps to protect against foreign intelligence collection of sensitive information.
A relative discovered the bodies and then climbed through a window of the house to save the child who'd been alone inside without heat for up to 48 hours, authorities said
