Davos 2026: Best Fashion and Style Status Symbols

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of eMed Population Health, was spotted at the event wearing a satin suit from Gabriela Hearst. The three-piece set, in its winter-white shade, featured a delicate floral print.

She wore the ensemble with ballet flats and chunky black glasses.

Iuliia Bazhan, a model and the founder of Evoautism, attended in a full Chanel getup.

She wore a jacket and miniskirt from the fashion house’s Coco Neige collection, a floor-length coat, and white boots with thick chain detailing.

One attendee, photographed by Business Insider, accessorized his navy jacket with a multicolored scarf, sunglasses with orange-tinted lenses, and blue leather gloves.

He also wore a thick gold ring and a giant watch.

One woman was seen in Davos wearing a bright-pink suit with a white mock-neck top. On its own, the outfit was chic and feminine — especially when paired with her Louis Vuitton tote bag.

However, she didn’t accessorize with heels or jewelry. Instead, she wore tan snow boots and brown leather gloves.

Malachi Ajayi, the cofounder at Telos House, said he’s a big fan of double-breasted suits and jackets. The suit is Paul Smith, and his leather gloves were handmade in Nigeria. (He also wanted us to note there was some freshly spilled coffee on his jacket in case anyone noticed.)

Ajayi’s style took the long way to get to Davos. He drove from London as part of a caravan, picking up folks along the way. It took 14 hours, which is still faster than Business Insider’s Dan Defrancesco took to get here by plane.

Of course, they’re doing so fashionably. One person wore dark-wash jeans with white socks, red sneakers, and a puffy coat that combined both colors with others across its statement print.

They also wore a thick red scarf and a lilac beanie.

Sarah Backhouse, an executive director at executive networking company World Fifty Group, matched the fur collar of her Frankie Shop coat with a cozy fur hat.

She accessorized the ensemble with Saint Laurent sunglasses and a Maison Goyard bag.

Wealth manager Andrew Gan gave his suit a Davos upgrade with a fur-lined coat and sunglasses as he headed to the Philippines House to moderate.

Nidhi Sinja, the head of marketing and communications for BCG North America, opted to carry a notebook in her quilted weatherproof Tory Burch bag.

She coordinated the look with a North Face coat and L.L. Bean boots, both in cream hues that matched her white purse.

Wendy Diamond is the founder and CEO of Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization. She’s also an investor and board advisor for numerous companies.

She wore a green satin suit, a statement charm necklace, and thick black boots. She told Business Insider that green is her “happy color,” and that she likes to wear bright colors when “the world is so dark.”

When the CEO of Philip Morris International US travels, even for long trips, she takes a carry-on. Her trick: Pick a color for the week and coordinate outfits around that, with travel-well fabrics. For Davos this week, the color is black.

Jonathan Nowak Delgado, a senior advisor at nonprofit ViaTalenta Foundation, per his business card, has a strategy to stand out at Davos: wear a mix of bold colors.

His outfit included a statement orange scarf, which his mother made for him.

One attendee photographed by Business Insider was seen wearing a tweed suit beneath a gray fuzzy coat and a thin, floral scarf.

In addition to the fabric layers, she wore black platform boots, white sunglasses, Chanel earrings, and a pink Prada handbag.

Jolie Hunt, the CEO of communications agency Hunt & Gather, has worn some of the event’s most statement-making looks.

On Monday, she donned a printed minidress from Balmain with sheer tights, paired it with Larroudé x Libertine pumps adorned with lips, and carried an Hermès Birkin bag.
