Ideal Materials for Laser / Energy Weapon Defense

In most future sci-fi settings, it is apparent that laser weapons (or as Star Wars likes to call it, blasters) and energy weapons in general would have replaced most standard ballistics for main infantry to use.

With that in mind, armour made to deal with physical weapons such as knives or guns would most likely no longer be necessary, and new armour would be made to instead deal with energy weapons as such.

I know that the ideal materials for such armour would be those that are heat-reflective, bear high melting points (for more powerful plasma / laser weapons), and radiation-reflective.

Notably, I especially want to have materials which are the best of their caliber, such as the most reflective material, or the material hardest to burn.

Thus, I ask, what ideal combination of materials could be used to form such an armour. Any material is fine, as long as no major unobtainium is involved.
