If Detroit is the Motor City, then when it comes to fashion, our Best Dressed honorees are driving in the fast lane – with no turn signals and plenty of flair. From boardroom boldness to brunch-ready brilliance, this year’s list proves that style in the D isn’t just worn – it’s wielded. These fashion phenoms don’t follow trends; they bend them into origami swans and then wear them to diner. Here is one of the 11 metro Detroiters on Hour Detroit’s Best Dressed list, class of 2025, who were all shot on location at Detroit Foundation Hotel.

Getting to know the style of Holly Campbell

Fashion style: My fashion style is timeless with a twist. I know the rules of classic style, but I’ll break them when I want to. I like to save space for drama, play, and fashion as art statements.

The one piece in my closet I can’t live without: I could list so many things, … but my jean jacket always wins. It’s the piece I grab without thinking — dressed up, dressed down, or anything in between. That said, I’m keeping everything else, too.

If my wardrobe had a theme song, it would be … The Sex and the City theme song has been my ringtone for longer than I can remember. I’d say it fits pretty well.

Favorite places to shop locally: I shop anywhere and everywhere. If it has clothes, I’m there. From thrift stores to high-end boutiques, I’ll find something I love. Somerset Collection knows me well. I’m from Dallas, so I’m a Neiman’s girl, but Saks and Nordstrom are not ignored. I love J. Crew, Anthropologie, Reformation, and Veronica Beard, among others.

Favorite designers/brands: Picking just one designer is almost impossible, but Victoria Beckham occupies a significant space in my closet. She nails the balance between chic and cool. Her designs make you feel like you just stepped off the runway, even on a normal Tuesday.

A look that always gets compliments: When planning looks, I always try to incorporate something unexpected or wear a piece in a unique way. People notice when you think tastefully outside of the box.

Style icon: My ultimate style icon is a mash-up of Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, Carolyn Bessette[-Kennedy], Cindy Crawford, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Zendaya. Equal parts ease, polish, glamour, creativity, and fearless edge.

Fashion advice: The best fashion advice I can offer is to make sure your clothes fit you properly. Know your measurements; one size does not fit everyone in that size the same. A little tailoring is magic. It transforms any piece, regardless of price range, from ordinary to amazing!
