Every year, GLAMOUR’s Most Glamorous Awards celebrate the women rewriting the rules of style in South Africa. These are not just trend followers or red carpet regulars, they’re the pioneers, risk-takers, and fashion storytellers using clothes as a canvas for identity, culture, and confidence. Whether it’s bold minimalism or maximalist flair, their style is never accidental. It’s intentional, authentic, and impossible to ignore.
This year’s winners represent the full spectrum of modern glamour: from polished elegance and digital-age cool to proudly African designs and unfiltered individuality. Most Glamorous 2025 isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about celebrating women who show up exactly as they are, and look unforgettable doing it. Whether walking into a boardroom, performing on stage, or simply documenting their everyday looks online, these women are shaping the visual language of South African style in real time.
Among the standouts? Actress and media powerhouse Thando Thabethe stunned in sculpted tailoring that exuded precision and power, while Naliyani Uma—the people’s favourite—charmed in her signature blend of vintage and modern, showing once again that fashion doesn’t have to shout to make a statement. Together, this year’s winners remind us that glamour is not a dress code. It’s a declaration.
