Keep Your Eye on These 14 Breakout Style Stars of 2016 — They're Here to Stay

This year's breakout style stars range from actresses to models, but they all have one uniting quality: a sharp fashion sense. Whether they've won an Oscar (Brie Larson) or landed major ad campaigns (hi, Stella Maxwell), they have dressed to impress each time, creating distinctive personal styles everyone else will try to emulate come 2017.

Among the 14 stylish ladies are young stars like Millie Bobby Brown and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Laura Vassar Brock. Kaia Gerber even made the list again because we think 2016 was most definitely her year to shine, and she has a model of the year award to prove it. Read on to see who you need to keep an eye on as we head into the New Year, because these style stars are here to stay.
