From dancing in music videos to taking over the spotlight, DaniLeigh’s perfectly undone curls and immaculate braids are as much a secret weapon as her voice and energy are.

A protégé of Prince before his unfortunate passing, she’s elevated to the top of the music industry and snatched up a PUMA partnership in the process.

All while comfortably maneuvering the ever-evolving street fashion scene with an attitude reminiscent of the Purple One.

 

#7 Kate Middleton

The Duchess of Cambridge can essentially do no wrong.

Ever since coming into the spotlight, she’s not only stuck to the beautiful, tried-and-true elegant hairstyles, but also manages to mix things up with subtle colors and chic hair do’s that never feel out of place.

Matched by her bright and polished sense of fashion, Kate’s versatile styling stays true-to-self and keeps us coming back for more.

 

#6 Jaden Smith

Being in public eye since childhood, Jaden morphed from the Karate Kid to a multi-faceted artist and mogul right under our nose, all while redefining the landscape of men’s styling with a humble attitude and his dreads in hand (honestly, we don’t know).

The androgynous, daring and weird hair colors, matched by the inspirational styling as captivating and moody as his music, the young Smith has truly cemented his place in the world as a millennial style icon.

 

#5 Zendaya

Cara Delevingne has been consistently smashing out signature looks alongside designer labels since her early modelling days in the 2010s.

Ever since her arrival in Hollywood, Cara’s been reinventing her style and fearlessly experimenting with different hairstyles and color.

Dua Lipa’s brilliance is rooted in innovative experimentation that bring back the style of yester-years with refreshing twists.

Wait, is this about her hair or Future Nostalgia? She has already single handedly revived the 'top deck' colour while comfortably tip toeing between blonde and brunette; she even joined the mullet club early this year and gave Joe Exotic a run for his money.

The London pop sensation also wonderfully mixes street wear with designer to create vibrant, punk-esque aesthetics similar to her vocals: slightly edgy, soft yet well-defined with an air of undeniable coolness.

 

#1 Lady Gaga

We never really know what to expect from Lady Gaga or her stylists. Equal parts genius and strange, she takes no prisoners when it comes to pushing the boundaries of creativity.

Even before The Fame, Gaga’s daring and experimental attitude would shine through every aspect her work, whether it’s music, style, films or other medium.

Over the years, she relentlessly reinvents her aesthetic by bringing those imaginative, head-in-the-cloud ideas to life no matter how controversial or welcomed.

An individualist by nature, her attitude is appreciated at Chumba and her aesthetics, whether hair, fashion or artistry are no doubt as inspirational as they are notoriously disruptive.

 

Honorable mention: The Beckham's

 The Beckhams might not be actual royalty, but that never stopped them from looking regal.

Ever since Posh and Beck made their marks on the world gloriously in their own rights, they’ve become something of a designer royalty and grooming god respectively as they look and feel right at home in front of the cameras.

Needless to say, together they’ve inspired many of us to elevate our styles and men to get regular haircuts since 2002.

Widely regarded as fashion and cultural icons, the Beckham's not only don the most sophisticated styles, they take cues straight from the front rows of London Fashion Week and do so with a seriously impressive attention to detail that brings their best hairstyles and threads to life.
