In the realm of fashion, the style-set is mostly dominated by women—an area that gives little to no room for men—yet Pharrell’s unparalleled style has catapulted him into the spotlight with his heavy-hitting fashion choices that have serious panache. The trailblazer has managed to harness his own distinct look and aesthetic, while also steering his career as a musician, a fashion icon and a designer—in addition to being Karl Lagerfeld’s muse for his Chanel campaigns. At this year’s CFDA Awards, Pharrell took home the coveted Fashion Icon Award for his continual evolution of style—here we look back at Pharrell’s standout style moments.
