Cutest Couple: Charli XCX and George Daniel

First a chic London courthouse wedding and later an all-out affair in Sicily: The two-part wedding of Charli XCX and The 1975 member George Daniel cemented them as this year’s “It” couple.

Life of the Party: Justine Skye

Justine Skye emerged as one of the most ubiquitous partygoers of the year, with a second half push that leaves us exhausted just recounting it. Skye was omnipresent and worldwide, from New York (Valentino’s handbag party, Chanel’s Premiere Galon watch event and Bleu fragrance party, Messika’s cocktail at The Frick in New York, just to name a few); Miami, for Art Basel parties like Ferragamo’s, and the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha.

Most Likely to Succeed: Chase Infiniti

After bursting onto the scene in the Apple series “Presumed Innocent,” Chase Infiniti stole the show — and the press tour, thanks to her TikToks — of awards-season frontrunner “One Battle After Another.” A stellar red carpet run has already made her a Louis Vuitton ambassador. 

Most Popular: Romy Mars

It’s Romy Mars’ world and we’re all just living in it. 

Most Unique: Timothée Chalamet

Just when we thought he couldn’t beat last year’s eclectic press tour for “A Complete Unknown,” Timothée Chalamet took to the top of the Vegas Sphere, released a track with U.K. rapper EsDeeKid and staged a parody of a marketing meeting, all in the name of promotion for “Marty Supreme.” No one is doing it like he is. 

Biggest Overachiever: Josh O’Connor 

With four movies this year — “Knives Out,” “The Mastermind,” “History of Sound” and “Rebuilding” — Josh O’Connor was this year’s most booked and busy.
