Emma D’Arcy
“House of the Dragon” breakout star Emma D’Arcy is one to watch. They scored their first Golden Globe nomination this year for their portrayal as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the HBO show. D’Arcy is also making waves on the red carpet — like the time they wore a custom look from Acne Studio’s spring 2023 collection, pictured here at the London premiere of “House Of The Dragon” on August 15, 2022. Oh, and if you’ve heard anything about a negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it, you have D’Arcy to thank for that.

Taylor Russell
Actress Taylor Russell may be Hollywood’s hottest red carpet star. Russell turned heads last year when she hit the press circuit for her film “Bones and All,” starring alongside Timothée Chalamet. During the 2022 Venice Film Festival, she won the award for Best Young Actor for her role in the film. And she’s not afraid to take fashion risks, wearing Balenciaga, Schiaparelli Haute Couture, Alexander McQueen and more. She’s also the global ambassador for Loewe. Here, she’s wearing a Tom Ford-era Gucci archival coat from the spring 2004 show that screams early aughts. She paired with light-wash denim and strappy sandals for the 2022 Gotham Awards.

Conan Gray
Conan Gray is pushing the envelope when it comes to menswear fashion. The singer attended the CFDA Fashion Awards on November 7, 2022 in New York City, wearing a head-to-toe Coach ensemble that featured leather shorts and heeled Mary-Janes. Last year, Gray embarked on his first-ever world tour where he was seen on stage in a range of vintage looks, wearing lace, sheer shirts, sequin vests and more.

Fletcher
Fletcher ended 2022 on a high note. The singer, who released her debut album “Girl of My Dreams” in September, took the stage to perform on NBC’s Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party special in a custom LA Roxx ensemble that she co-designed. Plus, she joined Cyrus for a duet during the show wearing Cucculelli Shaheen. Most recently, Fletcher made her acting debut playing herself on the “The L Word: Generation Q,” and next up she’s joining Panic! At The disco on tour.

Austin Butler
Austin Butler will be one to watch this 2023 awards season. The actor who played Elvis in the Baz Luhrman film has since been nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama at the upcoming Golden Globes. He’s also in prime position to receive an Oscar nod for his performance in “Elvis.” With many red carpets to come, Butler will surely amp up his suiting where he often skips a tie and opts for embellished blazers and the occasional Cartier pin.

Haley Lu Richardson
Haley Lu Richardson has been the talk of social media, mostly for her portrayal of the character Portia in Season 2 of HBO’s “White Lotus. (And for twerking on “The Today Show.”) In the series, Portia dressed in wacky looks that mish-mashed trends — wearing bucket hats, strange patterned tees, baggy pants, zebra bikini tops and more outfits that had the Internet in a frenzy. Off screen, however, Richardson has honed her own style that perhaps takes Portia’s love of color and eclectic design to the next level. The actress has been seen in Moschino, Rodarte, Loewe, among other designers.

Jasmin Savoy Brown
Jasmin Savoy Brown is about to have a busy March. The actress will be back on screen with the return of Showtime’s “Yellow Jackets,” and in theaters for “Scream VI.” Brown has stood out from the pack on the red carpet as of late by wearing unique pieces, such as this Alberta Ferretti ensemble at The Hollywood Reporter Emmy Party. Other standout looks last year included her Christopher Kane Emmys dress.

King Princess
You may know King Princess from the music festival rounds or her own The Hold On Baby Tour, but she’s also a front row fixture. Here, the budding rock star attended the Thom Browne Fall 2022 runway show on April 29, 2022 in New York City. She’s also been spotted at fashion shows for Gucci, Rodarte and Saint Laurent.

Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega gave glamorous red carpets a gothic makeover last year as she was busy promoting her hit Netflix series “Wednesday.” The actress was seen in edgy ensembles such as this lace Versace look, complete with a black veil and platform pumps. Next up for the rising star? Ortega can be seen reprising her role as Tara Carpenter in “Scream VI.”

Renée Rapp
What can’t Renée Rapp do. The emerging talent made a name for herself playing the role of Regina George in the Broadway musical “Mean Girls.” It was also announced in December that she’d be reprising the role in the upcoming film adaptation. Plus, she’s gaining notoriety for her role in Mindy Kaling’s HBO Max comedy series “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” What’s more, Rapp is the next rising pop star. In November, her EP “Everything to Everyone” was released to much fanfare.
