When it comes to trends and stars 2023 has been quite the force, delivering many viral moments from red carpets to runways.

Analysing the latest fashion trends, lingerie brand Pour Moi studied global Google searches this year to reveal whose style sent fingers running through the web.

Throughout the year, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift dominated the news as they left many countries where they toured experiencing inflation. Beloved style icon Rihanna continued to push boundaries with her pregnancy fits and work in the beauty industry. However, only one could take the top spot and it was Cruel Summer singer Taylor Swift.

With a staggering 1-million Google searches for her outfits and fashion style, Swift has been firmly in the spotlight this year, kicking off her Eras tour and stepping out with a long list of celebrity friends for dinners and nights out. Her style is revealed in her eye-catching embellished tour ensembles and understated casual outfits.

In second place is Kendall Jenner, with the supermodel’s fans keeping up with her off-duty model attire. Her sisters Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian also feature in the top 20 style icons list, ranking 15th and 16th respectively.

After giving birth to her second child, Rihanna ranks as the 13th most-searched-for celebrity style icon this year. Her maternity style has been well documented, and she hasn’t shied away from showing off her bump, with her red carpet looks featuring form-fitting dresses and bump-bearing looks. Slightly above her is Break My Soul hitmaker Beyoncé in eighth place.

Princess Diana’s former chauffeur has broken a 30-year-silence about his royal service to tell how his life was ruined by rogue BBC reporter Martin Bashir falsely claiming he was leaking confidential information. In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Steve Davies revealed how Bashir’s lies poisoned the Princess against him and destroyed his career as one of the Royal Family’s most trusted drivers. And he lambasted the Corporation for failing to tell him for years that he was another victim of the web of deceit Bashir spun to secure his 1995 Panorama interview with Diana.

Ministers are set to consider a coroner’s recommendations on ‘cancel culture’ at universities after a third-year Oxford student killed himself when he was ostracised by fellow undergraduates. Nicholas Graham is writing to the Department for Education over the death of Alexander Rogers, 20, who took his own life when he found himself frozen out by his friends in what appears to be a phenomenon sweeping campuses. The Oxford coroner is highlighting the findings of a serious incident review which found students could ‘rush to judgment without knowledge of all the facts’ and then ‘shun those accused’.

Is the Keir Starmer Cabinet a government of adults, or a collection of college activists who have never grown up? The new Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, accused the Prime Minister outright of being a student politician during their first Commons clash last week, and the jibe seemed to hit home. It is not just that the Labour Government has been entangled in avoidable scandals because so many of its members were too immature – and so easily seduced by offers of luxury goods, free tickets and other shiny gifts.

Yes, it is fun watching silly Leftists wailing and gnashing their teeth over President Trump’s victory. It is yet more evidence that such people have no real idea what is going on in the world. But that does not prove that Mr Trump’s election is good news for the rest of us. Leave aside his deep personal unpleasantness, which is beyond dispute. Such nastiness is not unknown among Leftists and liberals. We have no real idea what he will do, because he does not know either. Despite being the most cunning politician in the English-speaking world since the death of the late Princess Diana, Mr Trump (like her) is not especially intelligent or well-informed. It is a sad fact of politics that the most astute people are seldom the brightest, while the cleverest are usually bad at the feral behaviour which gets yo to the top.

As a schoolgirl, growing up in a small Derbyshire village in the Noughties, Tia Billinger had big dreams. Dazzled by the stars burning bright in her young eyes, she lapped up reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity and The X Factor.

As a schoolgirl, growing up in a small Derbyshire village in the Noughties, Tia Billinger had big dreams. Dazzled by the stars burning bright in her young eyes, she lapped up reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity and The X Factor. This was exactly the kind of fame the pretty blonde teenager grew up craving; the kind that comes from exposure and hype rather than any discernible talent. To be fair, such a desire is hardly unusual among young people today. But Tia’s longing for fame and attention was to take her in an extreme, horrifying direction – one which, as the Mail has discovered this week, has been almost unbelievable for those who remember her as a sweet schoolgirl, utterly devoted to her privately educated long-term boyfriend.
