Vanity Fair 2026 best-dressed lists

Overview

Vanity Fair has resumed its tradition of releasing best-dressed lists after a six-year hiatus. The 2026 selection evaluates cultural figures across various categories, including ‘perennials’, ‘professionals’, and ‘originals’.

Among the honorees in the ‘originals’ category is Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope. The publication highlighted his unconventional style, which involves pairing traditional cream-colored cassocks with Nike sneakers and baseball caps. He appears on the list alongside other figures such as Spike Lee, Björk, and Rosalía.

Leo XIV placed sixth in the ‘originals’ category, a group recognizing ten individuals for unique and innovative personal styles. The magazine noted that his fashion habits date back to his time as Robert Francis Prevost, known as ‘Father Bob’, prior to his election on May 8, 2025. This recognition follows previous fashion accolades for the Pontiff from Vogue and The New York Times in 2025.

Recent reports further note that while the Pope maintains his casual sportswear pairings, he has also been recognized for reviving certain traditional liturgical elements, such as the red papal mozzetta.
