Fashion’s game of musical chairs continues: This morning, it was announced that Jonathan Anderson is departing his post as the creative director of Loewe. Anderson first joined the Spanish luxury brand in 2013, showing his first collection during the spring 2015 season. For over a decade now, Anderson has infused the house with a distinctive point-of-view—and his approach to celebrity red carpet dressing has been equally as identifiable. In honor of the news, Vogue is looking back at some of his very best moments over the years.
Creating custom looks for A-listers such as Zendaya, Greta Lee, and Ayo Edebiri, Anderson has encouraged stars to embrace quirkiness and irreverence—both of which have infused the step and repeats with a sense of off-kilter fun. It is, perhaps, what we will miss most about his tenure at Loewe. Where other stars have adhered to the glitzy gowns and classic suits that you expect to see in Hollywood, Anderson has marched to the beat of his own drum instead, serving up everything from voluminous three-dimensional gowns (see: Greta Lee at the 2024 Met Gala), to whimsical suiting punctuated with turnip embroidery (see: Mike Fast at the Met that same year).

What else made the cut for Anderson’s Loewe red carpet highlights? There was Zendaya’s whole Challengers press tour, for which he outfitted the star in perfect method-dressing looks such as tennis-themed evening gowns (and tennis ball heels, too!). At the designer’s fashion week shows, he has also treated VIP guests as his muses—dressing Chloe Sevigny in fur coats and silk bows, and Maude Apatow in his balloon-embellished dresses. These are not your regular LBDs, after all: You could always count on Anderson to infuse looks with a sense of humor.
One can’t forget his many winning moments dressing performers for the stage, too. He created one of the most viral tour looks in recent times: When Beyoncé performed her Renaissance tour in 2023 wearing his bejeweled catsuit with surreal printed arms all over it. That same year, Anderson also dressed Rihanna for the Super Bowl—and fans will never forget when she announced her second pregnancy in his red flight suit and molded breasplate.
