Ed Sheeran has smashed records, sold out stadiums, and won more awards than he can probably count—including four No. 1 albums and multiple Grammys. But this week, he added an unexpected new title to his collection: fashion icon.

On Friday, April 25, Sheeran took to Instagram to celebrate being named to a best-dressed list—though he didn’t say exactly which one. Dressed in a sharp pink suit at the TIME100 Gala in New York, he posted a photo from the event with a cheeky caption: “Made the best dressed list last night at the @time gala.”

True to form, he didn’t take himself too seriously. Swiping through the post reveals a series of throwback photos showing Sheeran’s more questionable fashion moments—from a lime-green zip-up hoodie with baggy jeans to a skull-print tee layered over a neon green long-sleeve.

A 15-Year Style Evolution

While Ed might not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking of high fashion, his transformation is undeniable. In the 15 years since his debut, he’s gone from cozy streetwear to red carpet-ready—and fans are loving the glow-up.

His presence at the TIME100 Gala wasn’t just about fashion. Sheeran was honored as one of the most influential people of 2025, standing alongside names like Snoop Dogg and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ. He even graced the cover of TIME Magazine, with a tribute penned by actor Chris Hemsworth, who wrote:
“His songs, his voice, his lyrics—they belong to all of us. Wherever you are, whatever you’ve been through, his music feels like it was written just for you.”

New Era, New Music

Adding to the excitement, Sheeran recently dropped his new single Azizam on April 4—a first taste of his upcoming album Play. One thing’s clear: whether it’s music or menswear, Ed Sheeran is constantly evolving—and we’re here for it.
