It was a big year for music and fashion. Here is our list of the freshest artists of 2017.
1. Cardi B
It’s been a good year for Cardi B. She topped Billboard 100 with her single ‘Bodak Yellow’ and become the first female rapper to hit number 1 since Lauryn Hill in 1998. Her rise to the top has not gone unnoticed in her fashion statements. From Fashion Nova to Christian Siriano, Cardi uses her fashion to embrace her personality. But we can’t bring up Cardi B without discussing that Cinderella moment at Rihanna’s Diamond Ball. Her team had to leave her in the trunk in order to fit the gown.
2. A$AP Rocky
He is on top of the charts and on top of our list for best dressed in 2017. A$AP Rocky has been the face of numerous fashion campaigns from Alexander Wang to Dior. From street to high fashion, no matter what he wears we can’t get enough.
3. Rihanna
Rihanna released hit singles, a highly popular cosmetic line, and still found time to dominate the fashion world. RiRi goes for the bold and daring fashion statements and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We can’t talk about Rihanna’s year in fashion without mentioning that turquoise dress by Italian designer, Alberta Ferretti. Riri wore the dress in the ‘Wild Thoughts’ music video. And we have to mention that Crop Over Festival outfit she shook IG with.

4. Drake
The Canadian rapper knows how to work the stage and fashion. We love Drake’s stylish yet slick effortless fashion sense. Whether on the sidelines of the basketball court or performing on stage, Drizzy’s got it going on.
5. Beyonce
The Lemonade singer knows how to dress to impress. There’s no reason to question Queen B’s style so here is some of her best-dressed moments of the year.
6. Big Sean
Sean Don kicked off 2017 deciding that he wouldn’t go unnoticed. The Detroit native took the best of every casual look and detailed it with the freshest kicks and flyest overcoats. Whether he paired up with his girl Jhene for a couple’s formal look or stood solo, Sean definitely stood out in 2017.
My whole family depending on me, I smile thru the pressure. #DiorHomme

7. Migos
You can always expect the group to make a statement on the charts as well as together on a red carpet. From casual to formal, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff always detail their 2017 looks with ICED-out jewerely.
