As we head closer to our much-anticipated fashion awards — GLAMOUR’s Most Glamorous, set to take place this Saturday, 19 July 2025 — the countdown is officially on… and so is the prep. Beyond the fashion moments, one thing remains: your beauty look deserves just as much of the spotlight.
When it comes to GLAMOUR’s Most Glamorous, there’s no such thing as playing it safe. Think bold makeup looks and out-of-the-box hairstyles. If you’re looking for inspiration to bring your glam game to the forefront, we’ve got you covered — from head-turning hair ideas to underrated features like the eyes and lips.
This season, radiant skin has become the ultimate power move in any beauty look. If your goal is to go less matte and more lit-from-within, skin prep is essential. A nourishing serum, dewy primer, and your favourite highlighter will give you that effortless glow worthy of every camera flash.
Nothing screams carpet-ready like a bold eyeshadow moment. When it comes to makeup, don’t hesitate to elevate the eyes. Metallics are trending right now — and even if bold blues, purples, and greens aren’t your thing, you can still make a statement with softer shades in molten bronze, champagne, or rose gold. Take it further with a modern update to winged liner — think graphic flicks and negative space. Seal the deal with fluttery, wispy lashes.
If you’re not big on eye makeup, make your statement with a bold, glossy lip. You can’t go wrong with a vinyl-red pout, paired with sleek brows and blushed-up cheeks. It might be the more comfortable choice — but it gives instant star power. Alternatively, if you want to keep it neutral, lean into a ’90s supermodel nude with a sharply defined lip line.
As for hair, it’s safe to say glossy, sculpted styles are having a major moment. Think polished buns with a twist, sculpted ponytails, high-glam waves, and braided looks all elevated with eye-catching accessories.
