On the Hollywood red carpet, we expect our A-listers to dress impeccably and always look timeless and glamorous, but how boring Will it be so? Luckily, some celebrities got this fun memo this year. People as diverse as Alexander Skarsgard and Rihanna embraced eccentric whimsy, emerging and recurring with edgy looks that were wild and completely unexpected.
Think of your 2025 review as a lesson in embracing your individuality. While other stars wore suits and went nude; these fashion mavens donned outfits that were decidedly more polarizing. Remember when Jaden Smith wore an entire castle on his head? Or when Emma Stone goes camping and pulls popcorn out of her Louis Vuitton pocket? (But no, don’t call her a popcorn actress.)
What other factors contributed to Wackadoodle being axed this year? There were some dramatic pregnancy displays, Chippendale-style halter shirt and tie combos, and even some vintage fashion. In other words: This is the year stars aren’t afraid to turn heads or get a laugh—thank God, because it’s safe to say we all need it.
