From Lila Moss to Julia Fox, these are the breakout style stars of 2022.
Over the years, new waves of emerging style muses overcomes the fashion industry with the promise of star quality and high influence. Otherwise deemed as the It girl, these high society fashion figures go beyond the typical influencer, as there is this extra flair about them that keeps the masses engaged and wanting to be just like them. It's the indescribable It factor that these style stars bring to the forefront that makes you understand why they are sitting front row at every major fashion show and being invited to the most exclusive parties and events.
We have witnessed stars catapult from It girl to household names, respectively, such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Adut Akech, Kaia Gerber, Emma Chamberlain, and the list goes on. Now, we are once again watching as the new crop of It girls arise to fame, and this year especially has brought in quite the lineup. From Julia Fox to Leni Klum, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up the top fashion It girls of 2022.
Julia Fox
There's no question that 2022 was the year of Julia Fox. The "Uncut Gems and things like that" star became a quick internet obsession with her viral memes and daring fashion looks. A true fashion muse, Fox has been embraced by multiple brands after being spotted sitting front row for designers such as LaQuan Smith, Elena Velez, Iris Van Herpen, Alexandre Vauthier, and Jonathan Simkhai. On top of her relationships with esteemed designers, Fox has also attracted attention with her iconic DIY outfits. On TikTok and Instagram, the star has dropped numerous tutorials following how she has reworked and revamped some of her most memorable looks.
Ivy Getty
Oil heiress and granddaughter of philanthropist Ann Getty, Ivy Getty is the embodiment of a fashion It girl in a traditional sense. Her sense of style is a balance of elegance and edge. One of her biggest standout fashion moments came from her attendance at the 2022 Met Gala, where she wore a gorgeous custom Oscar de la Renta gown. With access to any designer in the world, Getty keeps it fresh by wearing various labels such as Area, Blumarine, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, and Ralph Lauren. The socialite was also in attendance for the Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2022 collections with appearances at Balmain, Rick Owens, and Giambattista Valli.
Tish Weinstock
Beauty journalist Tish Weinstock knows a thing or two about style. As a storyteller herself, Weinstock shows an unprecedented ability to utilize her clothes as an expressive form of communication. Her style is a bit more understated with sheer dresses, slip dresses, and neutral colors taking the forefront—though it's not any less impactful or influential. Most recently, the tastemaker attended the 2022 British Fashion Awards in an off-white appliqué dress accessorized with ballet flats and a multi-layer choker.
Naomi Biden
Whoever said that politics and fashion can't merge? It certainly wasn't Naomi Biden. Oldest granddaughter of President Joe Biden, Biden has become quite the fashion darling. The style muse just recently had one of the biggest weddings of the year dressed in a custom Ralph Lauren gown. While she tends to keep her life relatively private, from the fashion choices we are graciously allowed to witness, her style can be described as nothing less than a chef's kiss.
Matilda Djerf
Fashion influencer and entrepreneur Matilda Djerf has managed to build an empire at just 25 years old. The Swedish style muse has gathered a massive following with 2.8 million Instagram followers and over 1.2 million Tik Tok followers. As one of the most recognizable influencers on social media, Djerf has also found great success with her brand Djerf Avenue. With her laidback style and cool girl aesthetic, Djerf is the perfect embodiment of the modern-day fashion influencer and is unquestionably a major fashion It girl from this year.
Anna Delvey
Faux socialite turned criminal turned actual socialite Anna Delvey has become one of fashion's biggest obsessions. Fresh out of jail from serving time for swindling some of the world's wealthiest people, Delvey hasn't let her criminal record stop her from making headlines. Even while being on house arrest, Delvey has taken advantage of every opportunity to gain publicity with designers following her lead. Utilizing her ankle monitor as an accessory, the fake heiress has been spotted decked out in designer items such as her statement black Manolo Blahnik heels. With the multiple profiles and continuous attention she has received, it seems like Delvey's influence isn't leaving anytime soon.
Lila Moss
She may be a nepo baby, but don't underestimate the talent of Lila Moss. Daughter of legendary supermodel Kate Moss, Moss has begun to follow in her mother's footsteps as she climbs the fashion ladder. The young model has walked for esteemed labels such as Tommy Hilfiger, Fendi, Versace, Richard Quinn, and Coperni. Moss also showed up and showed out on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet where she shined in an embellished nude Burberry dress. At the pace she's going, we wouldn't be surprised to see the starlet claim high-fashion model status like her mother did sooner rather than later.
Iris Law
Daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, Iris Law is no stranger to the spotlight. Her unique sense of style shines through with her constant play on textures, prints, patterns, and colors. Even from a professional light, the influencer has turned heads as she has worked with brands such as Missoni, Moschino, Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, and Versace. Whether she's serving looks on the red carpet or showing off her style with a cute selfie, Law knows how to provide some serious fashion inspiration.
Lourdes Leon
She may be the daughter of Madonna, but this material girl is creating her own material world. Rather than following the musical footsteps of her mother, Lourdes Leon has made major headway in the modeling industry. The fashion star has worked with a number of labels including Burberry, Mugler, Swarovski, Versace, and Savage x Fenty. The model has also walked in Paris Fashion Week and most recently made an appearance at the opening of the Thierry Mugler: Couturissime exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum.
Pritika Swarup
At 25 years old, Pritika Swarup is not just an influencer, she's an inspiration. As a full-time model, fashion influencer, and entrepreneur with her beauty brand Prakti Beauty, Swarup is a Gen-Z business mogul. When she's not running her company or turning heads on the red carpet, you may be influenced by her relaxed day-to-day style. Even when dressed up, Swarup's style is effortlessly chic with her preference for simpler silhouettes and minimal accessories.
Leni Klum
Don't let her young age fool you, Leni Klum is quickly becoming a fashion force. Daughter of iconic supermodel Heidi Klum, 18-year-old Klum is putting in the work to pave her way in the modeling world. The rising model has attended Milan Fashion Week, modeled for Dior Beauty, and walked the runway. She's a definite Gen-Z It girl, and we should expect to see a lot more of her in the future.
Zaya Wade
As the daughter of former basketball star Dwyane Wade, Zaya Wade knows what it's like to have all eyes on her. In recent years the emerging style muse has taken a more serious interest in the world of fashion and shows it through her chic sense of style on Instagram. The rising It girl sat front row during Paris Fashion Week at the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2023 show. She has also sported looks from Gucci, Stella McCartney, Tory Burch, and Fendi. At 15 years old, Wade is already finding her own unique style — and it doesn't hurt that she has stepmom and style icon Gabrielle Union to look up to for inspiration.
Amelia Gray Hamlin
Another nepo baby that has paved her way in the modeling world, Amelia Gray Hamlin is the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna. While she may have grown up on reality TV, it is fashion that truly has her heart. With her bleached brows and pouty lip, the model and influencer has walked on the runways of Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel, Richard Quinn, LaQuan Smith, Balenciaga, and Vivienne Westwood.
Mia Regan
Mia Regan is the embodiment of Gen-Z fashion. Regan's distinct style stands out with her bold colors, daring patterns, and playful accessories. While she may be the on-and-off girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, Regan has stayed close with Victoria Beckham after dropping a six-piece collaborative capsule collection with the designer. If the approval from the style maven herself doesn't convince you of Regan's It girl status, then maybe the fact that she has sat front row for Stella McCartney, Gucci, Prada, KNWLS, and Nensi Dojaka tells you everything you need to know about her spot in the fashion world.
