The Best Black Fashion From Vogue World 2025

Lizzo, Angela Bassett and Damson Idris were just a few of the stylish Black stars who were spotted at Vogue World 2025.

The only thing better than a high-end fashion show is a high-end fashion show that features some of Hollywood’s hottest actors as runway models. The Paramount Studios lot turned into a runway on October 26, for Vogue World 2025, the star-studded annual celebration of the intersection between fashion and film. Some of the industry’s biggest costume designers paired up with luxury fashion houses, including Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu, and the result was a stunning display of Hollywood style.
