anybody who is anybody
All who matter
Anybody who is anybody refers to people who matter socially—the important, influential, or fashionable members of a group.
The phrase typically describes who attends events or follows trends: Anybody who is anybody will be at the gala.
It carries a whiff of snobbery, implying that those absent don't count.
