Black, Bold & Avant-Garde: A Front-Row Night at the ELLE Style Awards

ELLE Style Awards 2025: A Night Where Avant-Garde Met Pure Glam

December 10, 2025 was that night — the kind you replay in your head long after the heels come off. I had the absolute pleasure of attending ELLE Style Awards 2025, a spectacular celebration marking 28 years of ELLE România on the local fashion scene. And trust me, they did not disappoint.

Hosted inside the iconic Palatul Parlamentului, the 13th edition of the awards brought together celebrities, designers, models, fashion lovers, and content creators for a night filled with glamour, music, and bold style moments — all under one powerful theme: Avant-Garde.

My Avant-Garde Moment ✨

For this unforgettable evening, I chose elegance with an edge. I wore a long black dress by Iselin Dimitri, featuring a daring open leg that perfectly balanced sophistication and confidence. I paired it with black gloves, black high-heel sandals, and kept the beauty look clean and effortless — fresh, natural makeup and curly hair styled to embrace texture and movement. Less “trying too hard,” more quiet drama.

A Celebration of Style & Creativity

The gala honored the most stylish personalities and creative professionals shaping Romanian fashion and culture. Among the winners were Mara Popa (Best Young Designer), INNA (Celebrity Style), Delia (Music Icon), and Zarug, who received the Spotlight Award for the social project Iubibil.

A special highlight of the night was Mădălina Ghenea, honored with the ELLE Woman Award for her international career and cultural impact.

The Vibe? Immaculate.

The evening was hosted by Roxana Voloșeniuc and Maurice Munteanu, while the energy peaked with an electrifying live performance by HVNDS. Fashion, music, creativity — all blended into one unforgettable experience.

Final Thoughts

ELLE Style Awards 2025 wasn’t just an event — it was a statement. A reminder that fashion is art, self-expression, and community. Being part of this celebration felt empowering, inspiring, and honestly… iconic. And if this is what 28 years of ELLE looks like? I can’t wait to see what’s next 🖤
