Another year comes and goes. So it’s only right that we look back and give flowers to the celebrities who have made us admire their looks all year. The people who pushed us to be bolder, smarter, to take risks – and most importantly, have fun with our wardrobe.
Here are 15 celebs who destroyed all of 2022.
Rihanna
Rihanna has single-handedly redefined maternity fashion with the reveal of her pregnancy. Struggling through the frigid winter streets of NYC in a corset, bright pink life jacket, and a perfect rhythm? Yeah, that’s the only thing Rihanna can do.
The mom-to-be also changed the way we view Instagram reveals, as Rih Rih opted to wear a casual soccer jersey for her.

Beyoncé
No one will say no to the 41-year-old music legend guiding us to “unleash our work” on ‘BREAK MY SOUL’ earlier this year. Just like no one can deny the amazing look Beyoncé served up for the showcase and release of her latest album. Renaissance – Queen Bey’s reign will never end!

Nicki Minaj
Fans went wild when Nicki Minaj showed up in this green Hanifa Official jacket, Roberto Cavalli bodysuit, Paris Texas dress and boots. Before that, Minaj also showed off her signature Barbie style in the music video “Blick Blick” with Coi Leray.

Lori Harvey
The pilates industry definitely has to thank Lori Harvey after the 25-year-old stepped onto the Met Gala carpet. And revealed fitness is the secret behind her steel abs. Since then, Harvey hasn’t left our necks – I mean, who else could dress up as Beyoncé for Halloween without missing a beat?

Mary J. Blige
At 51 years old, singer Mary J Blige looks better than ever and feels “wonderful”. Just look at that birthday dress – do we need to say more?

Ashanti
Ashanti’s sizzling bikini photos have certainly sparked some chatter between her former boos as well as internet users. And for good reason. At 42, the “Baby” vocalist still looks exactly the same as it did 20 years ago — let alone good wine!

Ciara
Ciara inspired everyone by cutting her hair into a short hairstyle, dyeing it brown and wearing a leopard print dress when she appeared at Billboard’s Women In Music Awards. The 37-year-old also inspired us to stick to his exercise regimen with his second knockdown earlier this month.

Issa Rae
Issa Rae looked absolutely stunning as she arrived at the NAACP awards in February. Rae stole the show when it came to ‘nets and balls’.

Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita Nyong’o will no longer have to walk the red carpet alone. In fact, only the star who always serves the red carpet has the right partner by her side. Nyong’o, we say, has definitely found hers.

Jayda Cheaves
We love a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum when it comes to fashion. And Jayda Cheaves is definitely that woman. After all, how else is the trend starting?

Yung Miami
As much as Yung Miami is still the subject of conversation this year – she’s in her pocket too, popping out with great care. Whether on stage or on the street, Caresha succeeds.
