I’m well aware that September is saturated with fashion news and trend reports ripe for the picking, so I’ll get to the point: Between runway shows debuting spring/summer 2025 collections, buzzy award ceremonies, and international film festivals, this was a great month to be a celebrity stylist. And a high pressure one, too. September is like the style gauntlet, the time of year that challenges our wardrobes the most. Below, I’m judging how well some of the biggest stars fared. Here’s my best-dressed list for September.
Amal Clooney
When: September 26
Where: The Clooney Foundation for Justice’s 2024 Albie Awards in New York City
What: Cartier
Why: A vision and a visionary.
Miley Cyrus
When: September 25
Where: New York City
What: Khaite
Why: I’ve been a ride-or-die fan of hers since the Disney Channel days, but I will admit, I’m glad we left the space buns in the past.
When: September 24
Where: New York City
What: Aligne
Why: Holmes always impresses me with her cozy outfits that transcend trends and fads.
When: September 17
Where: The Reformation x Kacey Musgraves collection launch party at the Bowery Hotel in New York City
What: Reformation
Why: Musgraves co-designed this dreamy collection with the sustainable fashion brand, so it’s only right that she got to show it off.
Yseult
When: September 16
Where: Performing on The Tonight Show in New York City
What: custom Acne Studios
Why: A performer as bold and dynamic as Yseult needs an ensemble to match.
Bella Hadid
When: September 12
Where: New York City
What: Kemo Sabe boots
Why: If I was told to dress for a rodeo in the streets of Manhattan, I’d be scared and confused. Hadid, on the other hand, passed with flying colors.

Why: Hello, new fall bag.
Addison Rae
