Fashion in 2025 was driven by women whose style transcended trends and became cultural moments. From global icons to breakout stars, these women didn’t just wear fashion—they shaped the conversation around it. As voting for The Fabys 2025 is officially open, we’re spotlighting the women whose looks dominated red carpets, front rows, and timelines all year long.
Vote below and help decide who truly defined style this year.
Olandria Carthen
Alabama-born Olandria Carthen burst onto the national scene with a polished confidence that immediately translated beyond television into fashion influence. Styled by The Reismans, her looks favor sleek silhouettes, coordinated tailoring, and camera-ready glamour. Olandria has attended major fashion and media events and received multiple honors recognizing her cultural impact, including accolades at Harvard University, Femme it Forward, and Glamour’s Women of the Year celebrations—cementing her status as a rising style force with substance and visibility.
Rihanna
Rihanna’s 2025 style run proved (again) that she doesn’t follow fashion—she frames it. Styled by Jahleel Weaver, her looks balance couture-level construction with a sharp, modern edge, often anchored by bold silhouettes and purposeful styling choices that instantly become reference points.
Her Met Gala moment—custom Marc Jacobs and unmistakable Rihanna-level storytelling—was one of the year’s defining red-carpet statements.
