Few reality TV stars channel true bombshell energy like Love Island’s Olandria Carthen. At Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year Awards, held at The Plaza Hotel in New York City on November 4, she captivated the red carpet with one of the night’s most talked-about looks — and introduced an unexpected color trend for the coming season.
Old Hollywood Glamour Meets Modern Edge
Carthen paid tribute to the timeless allure of Pamela Anderson, one of Glamour’s 2024 Women of the Year honorees, wearing an elegant updo and smoky eye. Her beauty look perfectly complemented a fuchsia silk taffeta gown that radiated sophistication and confidence. Featuring a structured bustier, dramatic bustle, and rose-shaped draping, the ensemble was pure Old Hollywood with a futuristic twist.
The Rise of Berry Tones
The gown’s fuchsia hue wasn’t just a statement — it marked the beginning of a new red-carpet palette. From cranberry and plum to pomegranate and blackberry, Carthen’s look captured the full range of this season’s berry-inspired spectrum.
Fashion watchers agree: Winter 2025 will be defined by these rich, festive purple and pink shades. The Love Island alum didn’t just attend the event — she set the tone for every red carpet to come.
