All The Looks From marie claire’s Women Of The Year 2025 Red Carpet

The 2025 marie claire Women of the Year Awards set the stage for one of the most powerful and stylish evenings of the year.

Held at Bell Shakespeare and presented by Georg Jensen with support from Volvo, Olay, F5 Collective and Constellation Brands, the event gathered more than 150 of Australia’s most influential women for a night that honoured extraordinary achievement and equally extraordinary fashion.

The guest list read like a pantheon of cultural influence. TV icons Janice Petersen, Melissa Doyle, Lisa Wilkinson and Samantha Armytage mingled alongside advocates Grace Tame, Brittany Higgins and Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts, while Olay ambassador Pia Whitesell brought a quiet sense of sophistication.

Wherever you looked, the room was populated by women who have shaped the past decade – and those who are boldly architecting the next.

As guests settled in, marie claire editor Georgie McCourt opened the night with a line that captured its spirit:

“Our nominees tonight are women whose work is changing the world in big, loud ways and in quiet, essential ways. Their stories will stay with you long after this event, and they’re guaranteed to shift your perspective.”
