GLAM Guide: What to wear to Glamour's Most Glamorous awards

This Saturday, 19th of July we once again host our GLAMOUR's Most Glamorous awards event and this year we bring the fashion and drama to the City of Gold, Johannesburg. 

This event is one of the highlights on our events calendar as this award is an acknowledgement and celebration of individuals who have an incredible sense of style and own their unique aesthetic with boldness and confidence. Fashion is in no way frivolous but a suit of armour and a sound that heralds your arrival without us having to utter a word. With this in mind we offer some inspiration on what to wear to this prestigious event. The colour theme for this year's celebration is pink and gold, pink being a colour that has always been synonymous with the GLAMOUR brand and gold signifies opulence and elegance. 

As this is a red carpet event we encourage you to bring the drama without looking tacky. Remember it's not only what you wear but how you wear it and the confidence you exude. Tracee Ellis Ross is a celebrity whose impeccable style consistently hits the right style notes. Her effortless grace and flawless appearance make her a true icon of red carpet elegance. Her Emmy's pink look from Valentino will forever be a favourite. The volume of the dress was balanced with her simply styled hair, which was slicked back in a bun, and understated makeup brought symmetry to the look and ensured a chic overall ensemble. 

Khloé Kardashian's look for the nuptials of Lauren and Jeff Bezos was a beautiful sequinned baby pink floor-length gown with a feather cape exuding an aura of elegance and red carpet du jour.  If pink or gold is not your preference but you want to respect the theme, consider opting for a black look. This is a timeless and elegant hue for any red carpet event and add touches of pink or gold to your look. Accessorising your look with gold statement jewellery or even pink, think gorgeous Swarovski pink diamonds will ensure you are on theme. 

We look forward to seeing what our amazing guests will be rocking this weekend.
