“Go ahead, roll your eyes, but I’m going to nominate Harry Styles. Not One Direction Harry Styles, but movie-icon-in-the-making Harry Styles. I’m fairly certain Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk is going to make him a star, and if that means more Harry in more Gucci, then I’m on board.”

“The combination of Sasha Lane’s totally radical double-bun hairstyle and cobalt Louis Vuitton dress at the brand’s Spring 2017 show left me speechless. The on-the-rise actress proved over the latter half of 2016 that she has an innately risky fashion sense—and her choices paid off, from a chartreuse Valentino frock with a coordinating stole to a sheer LV top and skinny pants. Here’s to more Sasha in 2017!”

“Not just because she was our January cover, but I think Ruth Negga is going to kill it this coming year—in both life and fashion. She has the ability to wear such a variety of prints and bold colors and she always looks cool, dressed up or down.”

“I love a fashionable weirdo with a sense of humor, and Lil Yachty’s style totally speaks to all my off-kilter tomboy tendencies. He brings good jokes and good vibes to the idea of color-coordinating—exactly the kind of thing I want to bring to my own wardrobe in 2017. And given that he has a new album on the horizon, it’s likely there will be more winning LY looks for me to obsess over. I only wish I could pull off a colorful hairdo like he does.”

“I am personally inspired a lot by young women right now. I feel like the up-and-coming generation is full of talent, verve, style (of course), and a real sense of female empowerment. They lean on one another for support and so when one rises in the ranks, a slew of them come with. Hence, why I think in 2017 we are going to be looking to Yara Shahidi, Salem Mitchell, Girls Do It Better, Keke Palmer, SZA, Chloe x Halle, Kari Faux, Gabby Richardson, and Cardi B—just young women who are doing it differently. Still, I’m just as excited by the old guard, especially the rumored reunion of DC-3. I’ve had my eye on Kelly Rowland’s style lately—it may just give Bey a run for her money!”

“I think 2017 will bring a new slew of stars on and off the red carpet, but I will continue to be inspired by the perennially chic crew consisting of Amal Clooney, Kim Kardashian West, and Victoria Beckham. All are such strong, powerful figures who define fashion in very different terms. That mindset—and girl power—are the best accessories a fashion muse should have."

“I’m keeping an eye on former model turned actress Aomi Muyock. She was in the film Love and possesses a freakishly magnetic allure; she is sort of the Emmanuelle Seigner for this generation. Muyock was in Calvin Klein’s Fall 2016 campaign but I can see her having a major solo fashion breakout moment in 2017.”

“My 2017 style muse is Liz Uy, an incredibly chic editor from the Philippines who has continuously impressed me with her creative outfits. She manages to put together these really creative combinations in her personal wardrobe and the work she’s done for magazines. I’m a little obsessed with her Instagram and even though I probably won’t be spotted out in a perfectly put-together Vetements and Vuitton look, I’m glad there is someone out there who will.”
