Get ready to ditch the winter blues! The 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, held at The Plaza in New York City on November 4th, wasn't just a celebration of extraordinary women; it was a vibrant forecast for the upcoming winter fashion season. And guess what? The red carpet was practically glowing with a single, unexpected color trend that's about to take over.
Reality star Olandria Carthen, channeling major bombshell vibes, stole the show with a look that paid homage to classic Hollywood glamour. Think a Pamela Anderson-inspired updo, a smoky eye, and a breathtaking fuchsia silk taffeta gown. The dress itself was a masterpiece, featuring a bustier, a bustle, and rose-structured draping. But it was the color that truly set the stage for the evening's biggest trend.
So, what's the buzz? We're officially entering the winter of the berry tone! Carthen's gown, with its almost holographic sheen, perfectly encapsulated the spectrum: cranberry, plum, pomegranate, blackberry – all the festive purple hues you can imagine.
But it wasn't just Carthen. The red carpet was awash in variations of this rich palette. We spotted silky lilac looks, moody red-wine lace, and floor-length lavender sequins. It's clear: these Glamour guests were ready to party in purple, and we're taking notes for our own holiday festivities!
Here are some of the Women of the Year attendees who embraced the berry trend:
- Jasmin Savoy Brown
- Myha’la
- Mary Holland Nader
- Huma Abedin
- Karen Pittman
- Isabella Briggs
- Olivia Ponton
- Crystle Stewart
- Meredith Duxbury
Now, here's where it gets interesting... While the berry tone is undeniably gorgeous, some might argue it's a bold departure from the traditional winter color palette. What do you think?
