As anticipation builds for GLAMOUR Women of the Year 2025, one partnership continues to shine at the heart of the celebration: Bernini, returning as the official sponsor for the landmark event. Known for its elegant sparkle and unwavering commitment to uplifting women, Bernini’s presence at WOTY is more than a branding moment, it is a reflection of shared values, aligned purpose, and a mutual commitment to spotlighting women who redefine culture with confidence, creativity, and authenticity.
In this conversation, Bernini shares why the collaboration with GLAMOUR remains so meaningful, what Women of the Year represents for the brand, and what they are most excited to toast to when the 2025 celebration unfolds.
Why have you chosen to partner with GLAMOUR for WOTY 2025?
Bernini and GLAMOUR share a beautifully aligned vision: honouring the women who shape culture through confidence, creativity and an unmistakable sense of authenticity. Partnering for Women of the Year 2025 feels less like a decision and more like the natural continuation of a relationship built on mutual respect. Both brands champion women who live beautifully, their way, with quiet assurance, effortless elegance and a spirit that refuses to dim. It’s a collaboration rooted in shared values and a deep admiration for the women who inspire us daily.
What reasons does your brand have for viewing awards like WOTY as significant, and why do you prioritize supporting women overall?
Women of the Year is far more than an awards ceremony; it is a moment of recognition, reflection and reverence for the women who lead with grace, intent and purpose. For Bernini, creating spaces that elevate women isn’t an initiative, it’s a core part of who we are. We believe in celebrating authenticity over perfection and substance over spectacle, acknowledging the women who move through the world with quiet power and inspire others to find their own. That is what makes WOTY so significant to us: it mirrors the true essence of the Bernini woman.
What are you looking forward to regarding the event?
We are looking forward to an evening that celebrates women in all their brilliance, from the trailblazers and creators to the connectors, nurturers and visionaries. Women of the Year captures everything Bernini stands for: genuine connection, effortless sophistication and unapologetic authenticity. It is a night to lift a coupe to the women shaping our world and to toast to life’s most beautifully real moments, accompanied by the delicate, celebratory bubbles of Bernini, born from real wine.
