From rocking red carpets to taking an unapologetic stance on female empowerment, these sistas came, saw, and have conquered the fashion game like nobody's business.

Here is a list of 10 stars whose fierce style has left an indelible mark on the world.

  • Rihanna

    RiRi has been coming from our necks since she stepped onto the scene in 2007. And nearly 20 years later, this Caribbean heartthrob is still pounding the pavement with her lyrics and undeniable sense of style.

    This moment occurred at the Met Gala in 2018 and quickly became one of the best looks of the night, and of all time.

    For the "Heavenly Bodies" themed party, she portrayed the Pope by donning an ensemble by Maison Margiela, as reported by Elle. She also wore a Cartier necklace, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Judith Leiber bag.

  • Zendaya

    Nobody does it like Z, and that's on period. This style star is a walking muse, and every fashion lover takes notes when she struts.

    During the New York premiere of her film "Dune: Part 2" which dropped earlier this month, she wore a white avant-garde gown accentuated with cutouts. The hem also featured gold designs.

    For the entirety of the press run for this film, she upped her game (if that's even possible) while reimagining what it means to be stylish.

    While in London, she took the red carpet out of this world when she stepped out in a butt-baring platinum bodysuit. The piece is so exclusive that her longtime stylist, Law Roach had to resurrect it from the Thierry Mugler vault just for the event.

  • Lil Kim

    We've been crushing on the Queen Bee of rap since the 90s. This purple ensemble is only one reason why.

    From the early days of her career, Kimmy has been a sexually liberated force, empowering women everywhere to embrace their sexuality and individuality.

    From spitting rhymes in the booth to causing a stir on the red carpet, Lil Kim continues to be a dominant player in the world of fashion.

  • Tracee Ellis Ross

    There's something special about the last name "Ross" because just like her iconic mom, Diana Ross, Tracee puts that 'ish on!

    At the Emmys in 2018, the "Black-ish- alum donned a strapless fuchsia gown with dramatic sleeves.

    Still, this moment wasn't a one-off. She's not new to this. She's true to this.

    Tracee has been serving looks before her days on "Girlfriends."

  • Jodie Turner-Smith

    Jodie Turner-Smith at Vogue World: London 2023.

    This queen broke the internet during this bum-baring moment. From stateside to across the pond, Turner-Smith's fashion defines limits.

    In September 2023, she rocked this Victor & Rolf top and thong along with matching footwear at Vogue World.

    At this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she sizzled while wearing a sexy black floor-length gown that highlighted her legs.

  • Michelle Obama

    Our forever FLOTUS knows she's that girl.

    Since her days at the White House with hubby and 44th POTUS, Barack Obama, she has inspired us by being her authentic self, even at 1600 Pennsylvania.

    During the Commander-in-Chief's Ball in 2013, she stunned in this glamorous red gown that accentuated her amazing arms and neckline.

  • Solange Knowles

    This singer is well-versed in writing rhymes that exemplify her Blackness while rocking pieces meant for archives after one wear.

    She wore this printed green dress to the Kenzo Menswear Spring Summer 2020 show at Paris Fashion Week. She also surprised the crowd by performing during its closing moments.

  • Da'Vine Joy Randolph

    This actor dominated the previous awards season with wins at the BAFTAS, Golden Globes, and the SAG awards.

    Her fashion is equally as victorious.

    Randolph served in this sultry black gown while at the Vanity Fair party after winning her first Oscar.

  • Fantasia

    Bending fashion rules is all about taking risks. This Emmy-nominated actor redefined the classic suit and tie look in this classy number while on the "Color Purple" press tour. Every look she wore during the press run was top-tier and unforgettable.

  • Diana Ross

    For over half a century, this living legend has been serving knock-out ensembles from the stage to billboards, magazines, and red carpets.

    She was bold and unapologetic with her fashion choices then, and today, she's maintained that same standard.

    In January, she was named the newest brand ambassador for Saint Laurent.

    Ross inspires all of us to find our inner fashionista and embrace it like a star.
