DC’s Most Stylish People of 2025

This look: “It’s really about the pink scarf, which was a gift from a dear friend. It’s an elegant and alluring piece. The cream Aritzia suit is a versatile canvas. I like to get a lot of miles out of my clothes, and it works for any number of occasions.”

Favorite occasion to dress for: Going out to dinner.

Feels her best when wearing: “Something that feels totally like me but also a little like Zendaya—she is unapologetically herself.”

Go-to shopping: “Uniqlo and Gap for basics, Shopbop and Bloomingdale’s for sales, eBay and Poshmark for consignment.”

Three favorite things: “Black Zara trousers that fit really well. A black Sergio Hudson dress I’ve worn a million times. And a perfect gray cardigan I found in Paris.”

This look: “This custom jeweled blazer by Charm and jeans mixes old-school Liberace extravagance with a modern accessibility.”

Inspiration: “Retro elegance. I’ve always been drawn to fashion from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. I love the intentionality and thoughtfulness put into everyday style.”

Style icon: “Actor Ncuti Gatwa, in my opinion, is the best-dressed man alive. I love how he plays with masculine-versus-feminine, his use of color, fun textures, and tailoring.”

On shopping: “I’ve repurposed vintage items [and] created bespoke ensembles from talented tailors.”

Three favorite things in his closet: “My vintage cocktail rings, funky Visvim boots, and Jo Malone scent combo—Myrrh &Tonka with Mimosa &Cardamom.”
