Most Iconic Fashion Moments of the Year so Far
Kim Kardashian Wears Marilyn Monroe’s Dress to the Met Gala
As a woman not shy to controversy, Kim Kardashian stated that she lost 16 pounds and bleached her hair for 16 hours to be able to achieve Marilyn’s figure and iconic hair colour in time for the event in New York this year. Since then, people have claimed that she caused permanent damage to the dress despite Kim only wearing it for about 4 minutes.
Kim Kardashian in Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr President” Dress
Now, it may become the norm for celebrities to be able to wear iconic and historical pieces - who knows, we may see a Kardashian in one of Catherine the Great’s gowns in a few years.
Sydney Sweeney Wears Custom Y2K Miu Miu Set to 2o22 MTV Movie Awards
You may recognise this sparkly ensemble from a famous moment on Miu Miu’s runway in the 2000s where two models briefly fought each other.
It was most likely this reason that she wore the outfit to accept her award for the best fight in the TV show Euphoria. The bold baby pink sparkling skirt, bare midriff, and the barely-there top was an iconic outfit choice.
Kendall Jenner Establishes the Maxi Dress for Spring and Summer
The image of Kendall Jenner wearing a blurred multi-coloured maxi dress went viral earlier this year.
Much like last year's image of Kendall wearing the House of Sunny lilypad dress, the image set this year’s spring and summer trends back into motion. She paired it with platform leather flip-flops, another wardrobe staple from this year.

Addison Rae’s Addidas Holy Trinity Bikini
Another fashion scandal was caused by none other than ex-Kardashian protege Addison Rae.
The Tik Tok influencer posted a picture of herself in one of Adidas’ most daring products to date: a bikini with the writing ‘father’, ‘son’, and ‘holy spirit’ written on each bit of fabric.
The image received a huge amount of mixed opinion - some called it daring and bold, yet others deemed it sacrilegious and even offensive. Either way, it was a very outrageous move by Miss Rae.
Balenciaga 2022 Couture Collection
The Spanish-turned-French designer is no newbie to head-turning designs, captured perfectly in its fall 2022 collection, modeled by the likes of Naomi Cambell and Kim Kardashian.
The clothing was striking, primarily dark and channeling bold silhouettes. Many show clips went viral after it was clear that the runway was too small to allow models to walk elegantly.
Tiffany and Co’s London Exhibition
The American jewelry mogul launched a free experience in London’s Saatchi Gallery to mark its 150th anniversary since its first store opened in London.
The exhibition boasted millions of dollars worth of diamonds, including the famous Tiffany Yellow Diamond, worn by Audrey Hepburn in the cult classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It remains the largest yellow diamond ever discovered.
Blake Lively’s Transforming Met Gala Look
For the gilded glamour theme, Blake focused on the influence of New York and its architecture, resulting in a performance of a red carpet walk in May 2022 at the Met Gala.
The dress transformed from a blue to a bright copper orange, representing the rust forming on the Statue of Liberty.
Her look went viral for the right reasons - on theme, unique, and testimony to those who call her the queen of the Met Gala.
