2026 is racing onwards, and we're still catching our breath after a jam-packed March. From the Oscars and the SAG Actor Awards to Paris Fashion Week, there was no shortage of sartorial successes. Celebrities were vying for the awards across various industries and categories, not forgetting the top prize of all: a spot on Best Quality Designer Handbag 's best dressed list. 

Awards season might be over, but there's still plenty going on in the diaries of the stars. Now, with Spring in full swing (in theory, at least), we're looking forward to more iconic celebrity looks. 

Let's take a look at the best-dressed celebrities from April 2026…
