2023 was a year of bold looks onscreen, with showy styles on TV and glitzy looks across film. This year, we were introduced to the bright pink world of Barbie, where we saw some of the iconic doll’s best looks come to life through Margot Robbie, but that wasn’t the only notable stylish release of the last 12 months— we also saw the Victorian Era turned on its head in Poor Things, witnessed Leonard Bernstein’s evolution in Maestro, and more.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the very best looks from 2023 releases, highlighting ten films and shows with some of the very best costumes.
The selection features plenty of period pieces — Priscilla and Daisy Jones & the Six among them, but it also weaves in some more modern costuming, like the outfits seen in And Just Like That… and Past Lives, two releases both set in New York City that portray the city and its style in their own unique terms.
Any show or movie is made richer with complex, intentional costuming, and the ten releases below show just that. Read on to see our picks for the best style on screen this year, in no particular order.
