As we count down to GLAMOUR's Most GLAMOURous 2026, we're taking a moment to revisit the glamour, style and unforgettable fashion moments that defined last year's awards. On July 19, Johannesburg played host to an extraordinary evening at the Langham, where South Africa's most stylish names, creative trailblazers and cultural tastemakers came together to celebrate fashion in all its bold, expressive forms. Three months later, it's still a night we can't stop thinking about.
Every year, GLAMOUR honours the boundary-pushers and trendsetters rewriting the country’s style story, and 2025 was no different. From red carpet royalty to streetwear trailblazers, this year’s recipients proved that glamour isn’t just about what you wear; it’s about how you wear it. It’s storytelling, identity, and unapologetic self-expression in its boldest form.
Each of these women embodies a unique chapter of South Africa’s evolving fashion narrative, whether it’s classic sophistication, avant-garde artistry, cultural pride, or digital-age innovation. From vintage blazers to sculptural silhouettes and head-to-toe sequins, they command attention effortlessly and authentically.
So here’s to our Most Glamorous 2025 recipients, the women shaping style history with courage, creativity, and confidence. Congratulations once again, your influence continues to shine brightly.
