What makes the perfect red-carpet look? At Glamour US’s annual Women of the Year Awards, the answer is, well, glamour itself: that impossible-to-define balance of elegance and wit that elevates an outfit into an ensemble. Attendees often don’t simply dress to dazzle; many looks have messages literally woven in, like Mariska Hargitay’s “B” necklace in 2023 and Busy Philipps’s “Abortion Is on the Ballot” clutch the year before. And 2025’s red carpet is especially meaningful, with attendees like Ms. Rachel sending strong messages.

So while we’ve gathered to celebrate luminaries including outspoken actors, world-class athletes, boundary-smashing musicians, and entertainers who refuse to stay silent about their beliefs, there’s also plenty of room to obsess over every sartorial detail. See all the biggest fashion moments from the 2025 Glamour US Women of the Year Awards below.
