anybody who's anybody
All notable figures
Anybody who's anybody refers to people who matter socially—the important, influential, or fashionable members of a group: Anybody who's anybody will be at the gala.
The phrase implies that those absent or uninvolved are nobodies, not worth considering.
Often used with slight irony or to mock social pretension.
