Best Dressed Women At Fashion Weeks & Other Events – Charm

Last week was a powerful reminder that fashion is a living language that speaks far beyond dresses and designer labels. It is a conversation about presence, storytelling, and intent. From the political stage in Washington, D.C. to the streets of Fashion Week, the best-dressed women showed that style can be both cinematic and deeply personal. These moments unfolded like masterclasses in how to command space, turning fabric into an extension of personality. Every look carried its own weight—at times political, at times playful, but always unforgettable.

The Looks

At the Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, former Vice President Kamala Harris walked hand-in-hand with her husband, Douglas Emhoff, in a gown that was equal parts celebratory and symbolic. Designed by Sergio Hudson, her burgundy sequin dress shimmered with confidence, reflecting the light at every turn while never sacrificing refinement. More than just eveningwear, it was a statement. Indeed, a reminder that political figures, especially women of color in leadership, wield fashion as a form of soft power. In Harris’s case, elegance merged seamlessly with message. She didn’t merely attend the event; she arrived in a look that spoke of grace, resilience, and quiet authority.

Over at Milan Fashion Week, Serena Williams, ever a fixture on best-dressed lists, embraced glamour with an unexpected edge at Gucci’s high-profile event. She wore a black sheer gown layered over a delicate bodysuit, striking a precise balance between subtlety and spectacle. With every step, the feather-trimmed hemline rippled like smoke trails. Serena’s fashion has always thrived on defiance, and this moment was no exception. Once again, she proved that red carpet style doesn’t have to play it safe—it can be bold, textural, and unapologetically playful.

Then in Paris, Jodie Turner-Smith lit up the Tron: Ares promo trail in couture that looked as though it had stepped out of another galaxy. Drawn from Schiaparelli’s aptly named “Schiaparalien” collection, the metallic, sculptural number captured Daniel Roseberry’s obsession with blending old-world craftsmanship and space-age fantasy. On Jodie, the look was transformed—fierce yet ethereal, modern yet timeless. She didn’t simply wear couture; she embodied it, reaffirming her place as one of the most consistently best-dressed women across the Fashion Week’s stages this season.
