From week to week, our sartorial radar is scanning every fashion moment – from the red carpet to candid home snapshots – as served up by our region's top stars and style icons. Peruse those crowned 'best dressed' by Vogue Scandinavia below

October may be deepening, but the fashion energy is far from fading. As front rows emptied and afterparties wound down, a handful of Scandinavian fashion insiders were still turning the streets into their own catwalks. With loud confidence, unapologetic silhouettes, and at least one unforgettable purple hat, the message was clear: this season, fashion isn’t just about staying warm, it’s about standing out.

Loreen looked ready to close the Vetements show in Paris herself, draped in dark layers and mystery. Meanwhile, colour queen Nina Sandbech, known for her fearless palette and sculptural accessories, stunned in a sweeping black cape and a striking violet Maison Krasnova hat. On those same Parisian streets, fellow Norwegian darling Darja Barannik kept it sharp in a grey zip-up jacket and navy wide-leg trousers: proof that Norwegian minimalism means business.

Scandi style may have a reputation for restraint, but Hanna MW is here to remind us that minimal doesn’t mean muted. With an expert balance of elevated basics and just the right dose of drama, she oozed effortless cool in an animal-print coat by Stand Studio. Across town, Alisha Boe brought sleek sophistication to the McQueen show, perfectly capturing the brand’s edgy yet refined aesthetic, and giving us major autumn style goals in the process.

Scroll on to discover the full roundup of this week’s best-dressed Scandinavian stars.
