Pontiff makes surprise appearance on magazine's first international style list in a decade

 

Pope Leo XIV has been named among the world's best-dressed people in Vanity Fair's 2026 list, marking an unexpected inclusion alongside Hollywood stars and global pop music celebrities.

The magazine recently published its list of the 70 best-dressed people in the world, the first such ranking it has released in a decade.

Among the expected actors, entertainers and fashion figures, the 70-year-old leader of the Catholic Church emerged as one of the list's most surprising selections.

Vanity Fair praised Pope Leo XIV for elevating papal style "to heavenly heights".

The magazine highlighted a scene from a Vatican-produced documentary in which the pontiff is briefly seen wearing a pair of Nike trainers beneath his traditional white papal robes.
