everyone who's anybody

All notable individuals

Everyone who's anybody refers to all the important, influential, or socially prominent people in a particular context: Everyone who's anybody will be at the gala.

The phrase implies that those not included don't matter—a way of establishing who counts and who doesn't.

Often used with slight irony or to mock social pretension.
