The fashion world has changed a lot over the past 25 years. Brands have come and gone. Clothes have become loose, then tight, then loose again.

Brands once considered the "big guys" of street culture are now appearing on the catwalks of Paris and Milan Fashion Week. Yet the trendsetters remain largely unchanged.

When ranking the best-dressed stars of the 21st century, Complex magazine said: "We didn't just look at the number of amazing outfits they wore.

We also consider: Do they have longevity or are they just a flash in the pan? Does their style evolve over time? Do their clothing choices set trends and influence the public? Do brands recognize them and want to work with them?"...

Top 3 best dressed stars of the 21st century

Topping the list of 25 best-dressed stars of the 21st century is Kanye West. According to Complex , like his music , the rapper's fashion style has had many memorable periods.

The red suit in Runaway, the Celine blouse at Coachella, the diamond-studded Balmain jacket with Fear of God pants at Met Gala, or the leather skirt and Givenchy T-shirt for Watch the Throne… are all unforgettable marks.

Putting aside his private life's turmoil, audiences agree that Kanye West has created his own fashion era. His unexpected and bold style has helped the rapper stand out and leave a cultural mark over the past 21 years.

The other two faces in the top 3 are none other than the married couple ASAP Rocky and Rihanna. From the first time he heard ASAP Rocky rap in 2011, he called himself "the most handsome guy" and rightly so. ASAP Rocky has always stood out from the crowd, leading the "street goth" style and bringing brands like Black Scale and Hood By Air to prominence.

ASAP Rocky's style remains timeless, from AWGE shows in Paris, viral moments at the Met Gala, to collaborations with brands like Ray-Ban and Puma.

Rihanna, on the other hand, shines whether she's walking down a paparazzi-filled sidewalk, walking the Met Gala red carpet, or appearing at the Super Bowl. Her 20-year career has left a global mark, from her glamorous stage outfits to her everyday streetwear.

In the early 2010s, her rebellious personality became more evident: oversized clothes, "don't care" style replaced sequin dresses or pop princess blazers.

Rihanna has not only influenced fashion but has also turned her style into a FENTY empire, which includes lingerie, shoes and cosmetics, dominating department stores. Even after a period of rest due to motherhood, she has maintained her individual, rule-breaking style and is loved by the public.

Who is the only Asian star present?

A familiar face in the lists of best dressed and most attractive stars over the years is David Beckham (ranked 8th). Victoria Beckham's husband is not only a football icon but also a global fashion icon.

The former footballer has the ability to break all the fashion rules, making Adidas shoes or football kits attractive. Off the field, David Beckham has become an inspiration for audiences with his elegant suits and most recently has been a leader in country fashion, with a classic British gentleman's touch.

The only Asian face on the list is none other than G-DRAGON (ranked 16th). G-DRAGON’s style has been constantly attracting attention since his early days as a group with Big Bang. He performed in Alexander McQueen skull scarves and Comme des Garçons T-shirts, naturally bringing high fashion and streetwear to a new generation of audiences.

In 2016, G-DRAGON became Chanel’s first Asian global ambassador. He has also collaborated with brands like Nike and Jacob the Jeweler to create custom pieces that reflect his unique vision and signature.

Justin Bieber is ranked 23rd. Along with his growth from teen sensation to admirable hitmaker, his style has also changed. Recently, Justin Bieber has been leaning towards a comfortable style, clearly shown through his own brand Skylrk with loose-fitting clothes and beanies, in contrast to the elegance of his wife, Hailey - Photo: VOGUE

Kim Kardashian ranked 24th. In nearly two decades in the public eye, Kim Kardashian has gone from a backstage stylist to a beauty billionaire. Her SKIMS empire, which combines shapewear and nude-toned activewear, is a testament to her fashion influence - Photo: WWD
