A good sweater just hits different than a blazer or a coat. You look put together and completely relaxed at the same time, and honestly, that’s the whole appeal. This year celebrities went all in on that idea, bold graphic prints on morning talk shows, soft oversized knits on prestige dramas, a little bit of everything in between. Here’s every celebrity sweaters and knitwear trend worth talking about right now, and why each one earned its spot on this list.

Dorinda Medley Floral Sweater
The Traitors US brought back some familiar faces this season, and Dorinda Medley showed up in a floral sweater that’s very her. Soft knit, a scattered floral print, colors that stay muted instead of loud.
Nothing about it looks styled for the cameras, and that’s exactly why it works.
Emily Tennant Flower Sweater
A Season to Blossom gives Emily Tennant a flower-print sweater that matches the show’s whole cozy, seasonal vibe. Light knit, soft colors, the print spread out evenly instead of bunched up in one spot.
Sara Paxton Leopard Print Oversized Sweater
Grey’s Anatomy has always used clothes to tell you something about a character, and Sara Paxton’s leopard print sweater in season 22 does exactly that. Dropped shoulders, ribbed cuffs and hem, a fit that’s roomy on purpose. The print itself is sized just right, big enough to notice without turning busy.
Oversized graphic knits basically took over this year. Leopard print might be the most-requested version of that whole trend, and I think it’s because the print reads bold on its own without needing a loud color behind it too.
Sometimes the simplest move, just sizing up, is what makes a print actually land.
Whoopi Goldberg Sun Print Oversized Sweater
Whoopi Goldberg wore this sun print sweater on The View and it instantly became one of her most talked-about looks all season. Deep navy background, a giant vintage sun graphic front and center, orange and yellow tones that pop hard against all that dark.
The knit has real weight to it too, oversized by design, not by accident.
Whoopi always brings bold energy to her outfits, and this one is peak Whoopi. It somehow reads relaxed and intentional at the same time, which honestly isn’t easy to pull off.
Tina Fey Turkey Sweater
The Four Seasons gives Tina Fey a turkey-print sweater for a holiday episode, and it’s classic novelty-sweater energy through and through. Front and center print, but the fit stays close enough to the body that it never tips into full costume mode.
Sunny Hostin White Knicks Sweater
Sunny Hostin showed up on The View in a white sweater with Knicks branding, a nice nod to her well-known basketball fandom. Clean base, small team graphic, plain crewneck.
You don’t need head-to-toe merch to show team spirit, apparently. One clean sweater does the job just fine.
Kelly Reilly Grey Sweater
Under Salt Marsh puts Kelly Reilly in a grey sweater built more for warmth than for looks. The knit runs heavier than a typical crewneck, which actually suits the show’s moody, coastal setting way better than something lighter would.
Will Forte Fair Isle Crewneck Sweater
Will Forte wears a Fair Isle crewneck in The Four Seasons, and honestly, this pattern has been a winter staple for decades now. Geometric knit across the chest and sleeves, in exactly the muted, wintry colors this style has always used.
Fair Isle never really disappears for good. It just comes back around every few years, and this happens to be one of those years.
Christa Miller Pink Sweater
Shrinking puts Christa Miller in a pink sweater, soft, fitted crewneck shape. Simple, clean, no extra detail, letting the color carry the whole thing on its own.
TJ Palma Knit Sweater
Love Island: Beyond the Villa keeps TJ Palma’s wardrobe casual, and this knit sweater fits right into that off-duty energy. Relaxed fit, simple ribbed trim, easy to throw on without overthinking it.
Kim Matula Knit Sweater
Kim Matula wears a classic, easy-shaped knit sweater in The Way to You. Nothing flashy here, just a solid, versatile piece that could work in pretty much any scene the show needs it for.
Keke Palmer V-Neck Sweater
The Burbs puts Keke Palmer in a v-neck sweater, clean and structured, the kind of shape that photographs well against almost any background. The v-neck gives it a slightly more polished edge than a plain crewneck would.
Keke Palmer almost never misses on wardrobe. This quiet, understated piece backs that up again.
Kristin Davis Leopard Print Sweater
The Are You a Charlotte? podcast gave Kristin Davis a leopard print moment that fits right into the animal print wave hitting several shows this year. This print sits smaller and more refined than an oversized graphic version, closer to a classic print than a loud statement.
Deena Nicole Snooki Shop Sweater
Jersey Shore Family Vacation brought back the Snooki Shop branded sweater, a nod to Deena and Nicole’s ongoing merch line inside the show. Bold lettering, bright color blocking, exactly the loud, fun energy the franchise has leaned on for years.
Braden Rumfelt Beige Sweater Jacket
American Idol dressed Braden Rumfelt in a beige sweater jacket, kind of a hybrid piece splitting the difference between a cardigan and an actual jacket. The knit runs heavier than a typical sweater, with a more structured shape through the shoulders.
Sweater jackets like this have been trending as the middle option. Warmth without fully committing to a coat.
Josh Crane-Martin Cat Print Sweater
Beef’s second season dresses Josh Crane-Martin in a cat print sweater, playful and a little offbeat. Honestly, that fits a show that’s never been scared of mixing dark comedy with genuinely weird wardrobe choices. The print scatters across a simple knit base.
Christa Miller I Love LA Red Sweater
Later in Shrinking, Christa Miller switches to a red sweater with “I Love LA” lettering across the front, a real shift from her earlier pink look in the same show. Red base, bold white text, classic tourist-shirt energy reworked into knitwear.
Kelly Clarkson Beige Knit Sweater
Kelly Clarkson wore a three-quarter sleeve beige knit pullover on her talk show, dropped shoulders, ribbed cuffs, plain crewneck. Nothing about it fights for attention.
Sometimes the best daytime TV outfit is just the one that feels comfortable and easy. This sweater checks that box completely.
Honestly? You could wear this on a random Tuesday and feel totally normal in it.
Celebrity Sweaters Worth Copying This Year
Whoopi Goldberg‘s bold sun print and Kelly Clarkson’s simple beige knit sit at opposite ends of a spectrum, and that range is really the whole point of this list. Some celebrity sweaters this year go loud, the sun print, the turkey sweater, bright colors that demand attention. Others prove a plain, well-fitted knit still does plenty of work all on its own.
If there’s one thing to take from this list, it’s that celebrity knitwears and Sweater trends this year reward personality over perfection. A sweater doesn’t need to be complicated to be memorable. It just needs to look like something a real person would actually want to wear on a cold morning.
