The actress and poker champ was celebrated for her distinct style and impact on reality TV
Jennifer Tilly has been named one of the New York Times’ 50 Most Stylish People of 2025, landing an impressive No. 2 spot on the annual list that highlights standout figures from across entertainment, fashion, and culture. The actress, poker champion, and longtime fashion enthusiast was celebrated for her distinct style, humor, and recent impact on reality television.
Tilly, who is known for her memorable presence at poker tables and red carpets alike, gained fresh attention this year with a standout guest appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The Times described her performance as “a mix of sharp wit and unmatched fashion sense,” noting that her wardrobe offered a fresh look for the show’s loyal fanbase.
The recognition comes during a milestone year for Tilly, who recently marked the 20th anniversary of her World Series of Poker (WSOP) Ladies Championship victory. That win, in 2005, paired with more than $1 million in live tournament earnings, has cemented her legacy in the game — but her visual presence has also become part of her identity.
From flashy sunglasses and cowboy hats at the WSOP in 2010 to bold designer outfits on poker broadcasts like High Stakes Poker, Tilly’s style has never gone unnoticed. She’s managed to blend Hollywood glam with poker grit, carving out a unique space that bridges two very different worlds.
On Instagram, Tilly shared her excitement about being included on the list, writing that she was “honored” to be recognized alongside such high-profile names. She was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame in 2024, celebrating not just her playing career but also her influence on how women are seen in the poker world.
Tilly remains active at the 2025 WSOP, competing in high-stakes events and continuing to be a visual standout both on and off the felt.
