The list also included characters, things and animals that seem synonymous with 2024 such as viral baby pygmy hippo Moo Deng who captured hearts online.
Clarence Ford speaks to Barbara Friedman, Primedia Plus' Digital Content Editor, about trending online stories.
The New York Times recently released its list of the '63 most stylish people of 2024'.
The list expectedly included celebrities like Colman Domingo, Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple, influencers like Campbell Puckett and more.
Surprisingly, the list also included characters, things and animals that seem to be synonymous with 2024.
The list also features the Seine River in France and New York City mascot 'Ellie the Elephant', while baby pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng (who went viral for her rare birth and just being cute) also made an appearance.
Under Moo Deng’s inclusion, NYT simply wrote: “She bit. She screamed. She conquered hearts the world over.”
NYT’s fashion news editor Anthony Rotunno had said in the list’s introduction that the 63 names, which were placed in no particular order, “emerged as those that may come to mind when asked to picture 2024”.
Reiterating that style is “subjective”, Rotunno added: “Each made us look, think and talk about the clothes we wear, the ways we live, or the approaches we take to personal style and self-expression."
Proving that style is indeed subjective.
