Without a doubt, 2023 has been Sofia Richie's year. Sure, she's been in the spotlight for years, but ever since her wedding to Elliot Grainge in April, which took social media by storm, she—and her impeccable sense of style—have been the talk of the fashion world. In fact, we were lucky enough to have her as our Who What Wear cover star in August.
Richie's elegant and timeless yet trend-forward aesthetic has had a major influence over what people wear since she rose to It-girl status in the spring, and that's showing no signs of changing. From her Chanel-clad wedding to her off-duty looks consisting of Khaite and The Row (and more Chanel), Richie delivers one chic outfit after another. So needless to say, it was a challenge to narrow it down to her ten best outfits of the year, but narrow it down I did.
Scroll on to find out what I think are Richie's top ten looks of the year (so far) and shop pieces inspired by her luxuriously cool style. (For the record, I didn't include her wedding-day outfits in this ranking, as they kind of have an unfair advantage.)
The lone denim outfit that made the top ten, this look is a gem. The way the cropped jacket and wedge heels dress the casual jeans up is, making them appropriate for day or night. On Sofia Richie: Destree jacket; Anine Bing jeans; Hermès bag; Bottega Veneta Croc-Effect Leather Pumps ($1150)
Richie loves a maxi dress. This luxe Khaite sweaterdress and belt were particularly luxurious, and confirm that off-the-shoulder is indeed back. On Sofia Richie: Khaite dress and belt
This Chanel set is all the things—fun, comfortable, glamorous, and cool. On Sofia Richie: Chanel top, pants, and shoes; Hermès bag
Just in time for fall, Richie wore this elegant top-and-skirt combination, pairing the burgundy in her wisp of a shirt with a similarly-hued bag. It was *chef's kiss*. On Sofia Richie: Tae Park top and skirt; Hermès bag; The Row Lana Patent-Leather Pumps ($1090)
Richie went full-on Chanel for an event for the brand. The playful, youthful look stood out among a sea of Chanel. On Sofia Richie: Chanel jacket, shorts, shoes, bag, and earrings
For the Prada show during Milan Fashion Week, Richie wore the brand head-to-toe. She clearly wears Prada well, and it was the pop of red for me. On Sofia Richie: Prada coat, turtleneck, pants, Arque Bag ($2700), Patent Leather Slingbacks ($1200), and Oval-Frame Sunglasses ($520)
For one of her pre-wedding looks on the French Riviera, Richie wore this Posse linen set that sparked a bevy of orders for the exact same one. On Sofia Richie: Posse Emma Linen Vest ($210) and Emma Linen Maxi Skirt ($249); Chanel bag, necklace, and scarf; The Row shoes
Another absolutely stunning wedding week look was this fringed Khaite dress which she paired with bright white pumps. It doesn't get more elegant than this. On Sofia Richie: Khaite dress and shoes; Chanel bag
One of Richie's outfits during the most recent NYFW included this epic Alaïa skirt. I love that she opted to pair it with a simple white tank and ballet flats. On Sofia Richie: Alaïa Archetypes Gingham Silk Midi Skirt ($2540); Hermès bag; Manolo Blahnik Ballerimu Suede Bow Ballerina Flat Mules ($745)
The top spot goes to this simple, cool-girl bridal look that Richie wore the day before her wedding. I call this quiet luxury, but make it fun. She looks so comfortable and chic (and fun fact: The dress is actually a vest). On Sofia Richie: Proenza Schouler dress; Chanel bag and shoes
Richie seems to be quite fond of this collab, as she should be.
The pumps everyone wants this season.
The vest that started it all.
A Sofia Richie holiday party dress if I ever saw one.
I can picture this tiny It bag on Sofia Richie's arm.
I could see Richie wearing these with all of her Chanel jackets.
Speaking of tweed jackets, this one would look perfect with the aforementioned jeans.
An affordable bag that's fit for an It girl.
Richie is the new face of David Yurman.
I'm shocked this isn't sold out yet.
This lightweight coat is perfect for L.A. girls like Richie.
If Richie is going to wear a denim jacket, it's certainly going to be as polished as this one.
This would fit right in with Richie's off-duty wardrobe.
