A new year means a new chance for celebrities to make a mark on the red carpet.
From awards shows like the Golden Globes to prestigious events like the Met Gala, the biggest names in entertainment are gathering to vie for the most prestigious honors in Hollywood and music. At the same time, some are looking to earn a place in red-carpet fashion history.
Some have missed the mark. But a select few pull it off, which is why we're keeping track of the best-dressed celebrities on the red carpet this year. Here's who has made the list so far.

Her silk Armani Privé gown — designed with a high halter neck, floral appliqué, and daring cutouts — made a statement on the Golden Globes red carpet in January.
Gomez paired it with coordinating ruby-red heels, silver diamond Bulgari jewelry, and black nail polish that subtly matched the dress underlining.

The "Past Lives" actor wore a Loewe dress that was best appreciated when she posed to the side, revealing it was semi-backless.

The singer's Schiaparelli ensemble brought an element of fine art to the red carpet.
The strapless gown connected a black velvet bodice decorated with gold embellishments that traced the outline of a human body to a low mermaid-style skirt. According to the brand's Instagram, the design was a tribute to a 1938 collaboration between its founder, Elsa Schiaparelli, and the famous Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.
While it wasn't the most practical ensemble, given that Dua Lipa could barely sit in it, the struggle was well worth it.

The "Abbott Elementary" star put an original spin on the classic pinstripe suit at the Golden Globes. His tan-colored ensemble consisted of a slim-fitted jacket with oversize shoulder pads and flared pants.
He completed the look with a skinny black tie, a cream-colored floral boutonniere, and shiny black dress shoes.
Speaking to WWD on the red carpet, Williams said he was a big fan of the flared pants.
"I love a flare. I feel like women shouldn't be the only ones to have flow on the red carpet — men should have that chance as well," he said.
