Christian Siriano has dressed a plethora of A-listers over the years, but he doesn’t have any trouble picking favorites. On Wednesday, the designer and “Project Runway” mentor stopped by Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” speaking to host Andy Cohen about the best looks he’s designed for stars such as former First Lady Michelle Obama, Zendaya and Billy Porter.
Below, a look at Siriano’s celebrity-style countdown.

Siriano created a hot pink pantsuit for the “Euphoria” star, who attended a Humane Society benefit in 2016. “It was one of the first times she wore a really cool suit, something that was like masculine/feminine,” Siriano said.
Ever since, Zendaya has favored menswear-inspired ensembles, sporting suits by Valentino, Fear of God and Sportmax, to name a few.

Monáe turned heads at the camp-themed Met Gala when she wore a Siriano gown complete with a motorized blinking eye. The color block trompe-l’oeil piece was inspired by Pablo Picasso’s portraits.
“Particularly, I wanted to highlight Picasso’s African Period in the early 1900s,” Monáe told Vanity Fair back in 2019.

Siriano created this scarlet off-the-shoulder gown for comedienne Leslie Jones to wear at the premiere of “Ghostbusters” in 2016. Weeks before the event, Jones tweeted that she had trouble finding a designer to dress her for the premiere. Siriano gladly stepped in, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “I support all women no matter age or size.”
