The Best Fashion Instagrams of the Week: Dolly Parton, Selena Gomez, Janelle Monáe, and More

Another week has come and gone. Time is ephemeral, life but a series of fleeting moments, but thankfully, we have Instagram to preserve the highlights as we barrel toward the new year. Perhaps it is as a way of warding off existentialist musing that the stars post away—as they did this week, per usual, one constant amid the endless change.

This week seemed especially glitzy. Dua Lipa showed off a sexy chainmail number, which she paired with chain-link earrings. Elsewhere, at the Los Angeles premiere of Anyone But You, leading lady Sydney Sweeney was positively dripping in crystals in a custom Miu Miu dress. On the other side of the pond, Alexa Chung sang her heart out in a sheer crystal-embroidered minidress with tutu skirt from Simone Rocha, and Kiki Palmer added some sparkle to a black sweetheart strapless dress with XL hoop earrings. 

But it is winter after all, and some netizens cozied up in stylish knits. Elsa Hosk matched her oversized gray turtleneck to her socks (worn with Mary-Jane flats), allowing her red Birkin to serve as the sole pop of color. Meanwhile, Tracee Ellis Ross cocooned herself in one of the most sought-after pieces of the season, Jonathan Anderson’s oversized Loewe sweater. 

Below, see the best fashion Instagrams of the week from Janelle Monáe’s voluminous cape of rosettes by Mickalene Thomas, to Dolly Parton’s chic throwbacks.
