The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week

Our online fashion favorites from 1/6 - 1/12
The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week
By Raquel Iman · Updated January 12, 2026

If you don’t keep up with the Chinese Zodiac, you should. 2026 has been declared The Year of the Fire Horse, and we’re in for a wild ride. The fire horse is a daring and spirited animal that craves freedom — characteristics that can be seen in some of our best dressed from this week. From 3D denim to floor-skimming fringe, creatives aimed high and took big risks, laying the groundwork for a year filled with huge wins and unforgettable moments.

Paris-based digital creator and model Sissi Da Silva wore a light chestnut leather jacket, with an oversized clutch, glamorous shades, and brown boots. The twist came when long panels of denim were sewn from the midpoint to the hem of her skirt, creating a clever three-dimensional effect. 

Claire – a multi-hyphenate living in London and veteran GU listee – went comfy chic this week, pairing a shiny lavender jacket with a bright orange handbag covered in fringe and grey sweatshorts. The star of the show? Square-toe boots in green with tinges of yellow that complemented the other colors beautifully. A graphic tee, a plaid cap, and cool jewelry kept the look effortless and very cool.

Let’s be honest; Instagram can be the best place to find your next outfit. There is nothing wrong with grabbing a little inspiration from the Internet, and these creatives brought the best style this week.
