The 40 best dressed Londoners of 2024 (and the 20 worst)

We might be biased, but London really is the best dressed city in the world. To celebrate the finale of London Fashion Week’s fabulous 40th birthday we’ve rounded up our favourite style setters from the capital. The ones who make us rethink our party dresses, the ones who inspire us to try just a little bit harder in the morning, and those who we could happily stare at all day, such is their skill with a colour combination and jaunty shoe choice.

We may not have the financial might of New York, Milan and Paris but London has always punched above its weight when it comes to creative talent and stylish panache; Fashion Week’s 40 years is complete testament to that. Style is, of course, entirely subjective. But in our subjective opinion, these are the purveyors of the best looks in town.

Emma Corrin, actor

This Miu Miu muse has carved out a singular style. Knickers on
