Vanity Fair has released its list of the world’s best-dressed people and, while you’ll see plenty of the usual suspects (European royalty, Jenna Lyons), there were a few surprising additions. Topping the list for the ladies (and beating out Taylor Swift) is the U.K.’s first lady Samantha Cameron. ABT Principal Dancer Misty Copeland earned the number three slot in the top 10, followed by HRH the Countess of Wessex, the ever impeccable Amal Clooney, Rihanna, Charlotte Casiraghi, HM Queen Letizia of Spain, investment manager Mellody Hobson and Tiffany & Co.’s design director Francesca Amfitheatrof.
You can count Stavros Niarchos III, Jonathan Ive, HRH Prince Harry and Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson among some of the best dressed guys of 2015. A few noted names on the list of the best of the Hollywood set were Eddie Redmayne, Emma Stone, Fan Bingbing, Emma Watson, Michael Fassbender and Diane Kruger. For couples, Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter top the list with Thom Browne and Andrew Bolton following the Hollywood couple. Also included are Matt Bomer and Simon Halls.
Azzedine Alaïa, Jenna Lyons and FKA twigs made the “originals” list and Caroline Issa, Zac Posen, design darlings Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow, Victoria Beckham and more round out the list of best-dressed professionals.
While we were happy to see that a few people we thought should have been included last year were added to this year’s list, there are still some we think Vanity Fair forgot. Below, a few celebrities that we think should definitely have been included for 2015.
VF best dressed wishlist 2015

Kate Mara
Kate is a lover of fashion and a red carpet favorite. She is consistently sleek and chic and her new pixie cut is to die for.

Sonam Kapoor
Bollywood actress Sonam is a major fashion risk-taker and not afraid to dazzle us with an elaborate train or a voluminous hemline.

Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn has stepped out as her true self in a big way and is certainly living up to the lofty sartorial standards of the Kardashian-Jenner crew. Her penchant for elegant, timeless pieces is setting the pace for stylistas everywhere.

Eva Chen
There's a reason why "Eva Chen Pose" is a thing. Besides the fact that the woman is always clad in the dopest accessories, her maternity swag was a street style photographer's dream.

Zendaya Coleman
Zendaya is one of our red carpet favorites and it's puzzling that the ever-stylish teen is missing from this year's list. She nails it every time in the style and beauty departments (hello, locs at the Oscars!), so we hope that next year she finds her rightful place among the world's most stylish.

Idris Elba
Besides being devastatingly handsome, actor, DJ and professional handsome man Idris always looks sharp — whether he's wearing a tailored peacoat or spinning tunes in fashionable streetwear.

Emmy Rossum
Count on Emmy to bring a dreamy, sometimes playful elegance to any red carpet look.

Solange Knowles
It is truly a travesty that once again, Solange's unique, colorful sense of style and edge-pushing sophistication has been left off Vanity Fair's best-dressed list. Who could have rocked this sculptural Giles dress better than her?

Cate Blanchett
Cate always manages to make a fashion-forward look seem like a classic. Indeed, there are few outfits from her that we haven't absolutely loved.

Naomie Harris
Naomie always manages to wear something unique and directional with every turn on the red carpet. She definitely deserves some recognition for her impeccable taste.

David Gandy
There isn't a man on earth who can wear a suit like David can.

Kiernan Shipka
Kiernan is one of the most stylish teens in Hollywood and always manages to look sophisticated and playful without looking too juvenile or too grown-up.
