The Original family was the show's ultimate trendsetters, but who was the true ruler of the city when it came to fashion? Here are the ten best-dressed characters from The Originals, ranked.

Jackson first appeared in the first season of The Originals. A member of the Crescent Wolf Pack, he and his packmates were cursed to spend all month in their wolf forms except for when the full moon appeared before he later became Alphaby marrying Hayley.

Jackson's style was practical and simple due to the wolves living in the bayou.He often opted for plaid shirts, denim jackets, and open collars, and his long hair and stubble reflected his wild and wolfish nature.

Kol first appeared in the third season of The Vampire Diaries before meeting a fiery end at the hands of Elena and Jeremy Gilbert. However, the wayward Original was resurrected in The Originals, pursuing a relationship with young witch Davina Claire.

Kol's wardrobe reflects his charm and charisma. Despite being daggered for over a century the vampire is well-versed in modern fashion, with his stylistic decisions similar to his brother Klaus.

Camille was introduced in the first season of The Originals as one of the few human characters on the show. A gifted psychology student, Camille and Klaus go from sharing grudging respect to a passionate love affair. She was turned into a vampire by Klaus' vengeful ex-lover Aurora before dying from Lucien Castle's fatal bite.

Camille's bright blonde hair made her stand out from the rest ofthe characters and her style was an impeccable mixture of classy and practical. Camille's wardrobe changes after she becomes a vampire, with her opting for darker colors and leather jackets.

When viewers are first introduced to Marcel in The Originals, we see him as the confident King of New Orleans. He looks the part and his wardrobe supports this,with his clothesbeing modern and expensive-looking.

Marcel channeled his inner Original and wore leather jackets frequently, as well as full-sleeve shirts and cotton hoodies. His style was more modern than Klaus, reflecting the massive age difference between the two vampires.

Freya Mikaelson was originally introduced in the second season of The Originals as the estranged older sister of the Original vampires. She was taken by their evil aunt Dahlia after she made a pact with Esther which resulted in Freya spending over a thousand years as her aunt's slave and supply of power.

Freya makes up for lost time after breaking free from Dahlia and aligning with her brothers. Her clothes reflect her embracing modern society and forging her own identity, finally becoming free to be her own person and shape her own life.

Klaus was the protagonist of The Originals and one of the show's mostinfluential and iconic characters. He first appeared in the second season of The Vampire Diaries as a series Big Bad and has fulfilled an antagonistic role on both shows several times.

Klaus was alive for over a thousand years and picked up a few style tips over the millennium. His open shirt collars and jewelry hinted at his werewolf heritage, giving him a wild edge that contrasted with his brother Elijah's style.

Hayley was the mother of Klaus' daughter Hope and a powerful werewolf in her own right. Another member of the Crescent Wolf Pack, Hope's birth changed Hayley into a hybrid, making her one of the strongest characters in the show.

Hayley paid homage to her werewolf roots with her clothes, which had a flowing hippie vibe in the first season. Her wardrobe evolves as she spends more time in the bayou, becoming more sturdy and durable.

Until Freya's introduction in the second season, Rebekah was the only female member of the Original family. Like her brothers, she first appeared in The Vampire Diaries before traveling to New Orleans to look for her brother Elijah whilst Klaus schemes to take control of the city back from Marcel.

Rebekah's style was impeccably glamorous and sophisticated. She wore several stunning dresses throughout the show, showcasing an expensive taste in clothing and jewelry that reflected her age and experience.

Davina Claire was one of the most powerful witches in The Originals despite her young age. She initially channels the magic of three other witches in season one, after Marcel saves her from being sacrificed for the Harvest, and pursues a romantic relationship with Kol Mikaelson in the second season.

Davina is initially an unsure and insecure teenager at the beginning of the show. However, her style develops along with her confidence as the young witch forges her own identity. She wears several lace dresses with full sleeves that channel a witch-like aesthetic.

All of the Original vampires were pinnacles of class and sophistication, but none had a style quite like Elijah. He was the first Original to be introduced to viewers in the second season of The Vampire Diariesand was originally an antagonist before striking up a friendship with Elena. Elijah remains one of the most beloved characters in the franchise as well as the best-dressed.

Elijah was synonymous with his suits, which oozed elegance and sophistication. This stylistic choice highlights Elijah's desire to be the perfect gentleman and be better than his siblings, something his brothers and sisters resent him for.
