The 2025 Elle Women in Hollywood Celebration never fails to deliver a buffet of personalities, fashion philosophies, and those little style detours that make this event such a fun one to cover. Here is a look at those who joined Renate Reinsve.
Silver Siren
Chase Infiniti wore a stunning Ralph Lauren silver halter embellished gown that was giving futuristic metallic minimalism. She has such a cool, effortless vibe about her. And here she allowed the gown to do all the talking while keeping the beauty look fresh. This is one of my favourite looks from her this year, along with the Iris van Herpen.
Victorian Drama Redux
Emily Blunt had a chance to redeem herself after the Governor Awards, and she did just that with this Ralph Lauren ivory velvet halter dress featuring a ruffled, near-Victorian collar. The black lace ribbon eased in the rest of her accessories. Add in the Bvlgari jewellery and you get a look that we know she can deliver.
Shimmer With Confidence
Jayme Lawson’s fashion instincts have been sharp all week, and this Antonio Grimaldi Fall 2025 Couture look follows that trajectory. The long-sleeve embellished top contrasted with the asymmetric mini-skirt and trailing chiffon panel, created a look that felt daring but still elegant. She’s having a moment, and I adore watching her lean into it.
Classic Aniston
Yes, it is another black dress for Jennifer Aniston, but this Ralph Lauren halter was radiating from every angle. She knows what works for her, and she works it with ease. The texture kept it from falling into boring territory.
Mysterious Minimalism
Jessie Buckley appears to be in her quiet era considering this Ralph Lauren look. Being honoured last night likely played a role in her decision to dial down the her usual boldness. The beaded bolero-style jacket layered over soft, gathered trousers created something quite intriguing—a little austere, but it suited the moment.
Anyone For Tennis?
Mandy Moore’s classic Ralph Lauren striped suit transported me straight back to those two weeks in June for the Wimbledon championship. There’s something about cream pinstripes, a loose tie, and relaxed tailoring that feels summery. Suddenly I’m in the mood for strawberries and cream.
Floral Exuberance
This floral Richard Quinn Fall 2022 dress is such a strong look for Melissa McCarthy in terms of colour, style, and personality. The vivid orange blooms against the black background were joyous, and I love that she doubled down with the orange platform boots. It’s maximalism with intent, and it felt refreshing on this carpet.
Velvet With A Twist
I know what you’re thinking. This purple velvet Ralph Lauren long-sleeve gown feels unusually covered for Rita Ora.
But the open back delivers a sultry edge that keeps her signature energy intact. The rich colour photographs beautifully, and the minimal styling lets the texture do the talking.
Soft Crimson Ease
I wasn’t onboard with Rose Byrne’s silver Calvin Klein look at the Governor Awards, but I’m starting to notice a clear trend when it comes to her in Ralph Lauren. Strapless, bedsheet-adjacent dresses. This flowing red gown, tied delicately at the bust, leans into romantic simplicity. With Bvlgari jewels to complete things, she looked elegant and relaxed—much more aligned with her natural sensibility.
Minimalist Chic
Stacy Martin kept things pared-back and chic in a black Louis Vuitton dress with a slight fluted hem.
Style Déjà Vu
I love Teyana Taylor, I really do, but I’ve reached saturation point with this type of look. She has range—serious range—so seeing her in yet another hooded, draped, body-skimming gown from the Balmain Resort 2026 collection with the brand’s signature buckle, I was underwhelmed. She can pull off anything, so can we move from this?
Embellished Elegance
Kerry Washington is on a roll with Zuhair Murad. This time she chose a stunning embellished corset paired with fluid wide-leg trousers from the Spring 2026 collection. It felt chic, modern, and a refreshing alternative to a gown on this carpet.
Dramatic Noir
Wunmi Mosaku wore Ralph Lauren, choosing a black gown with sheer cape sleeves that gave her look a dramatic softness. It was understated but deeply striking—she’s glowing.
