Three months later and we’re still not over it. On July 19th, Johannesburg lit up with pure splendour as GLAMOUR’s Most Glamorous Awards made their triumphant return — and what a night it was. Hosted at the breathtaking Langhams, the evening brought together South Africa’s style elite, creative visionaries, and tastemakers for a celebration that reminded us why fashion will always be art, attitude, and audacity combined.
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.
