When it comes to slaying on the red carpet and Instagram, there are a few celebrities who instantly come to mind: Rihanna, Zendaya and Tracee Ellis Ross to name a few. But we’ve been paying closer attention to fashion’s next slayers like Yara Shahidi and Malia Obama to name a couple, and even a few dapper men who we’ll watching throughout the rest of the year, during Fashion Week and into award season. Introducing 17 stylish stars of 2017, we present to you the Fashion Freshman Class.
