What? Did you actually think that the red carpet awards season was over? Think again because the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards, hosted by my very pretty Ugly Betty king, Michael Urie, served up not-to-be-missed pop culture moments on a platter. My personal favorite moment was when Jools Lebron made the stage all mindful and demure, but perhaps I’m biased since that’s one of my top parasocial pals.
The best part about the GLAAD Awards is that the event somehow manages to find the perfect way to blend celebrating the cause (LGBTQ+ rights and representation, duh) and, well, entertainment. I mean, watching a bisexual baddie like Doechii give yet another highly deserved awards acceptance speech in another highly fashionable avant-garde moment? That’s primetime TV, baby! If I had to summarize last night’s fashions in one phrase, it would be: buttoned to the TOP! And I mean that in the best way possible. Presenting the best and worst celebrities from the 2025 GLAAD Awards red carpet without further ado.
Doechii
Immediately yes to Doechii in this unbuttoned Maison Margiela madness.
JoJo Siwa
Honestly, ATP, she’s just being Miley Jojo. There’s not much more to it than that.
Cynthia Erivo
Not Cynthia’s biggest slay, but a buttoned-up, purse-first slay nonetheless!
Bobby Berk
Bobby said to the TOP with his sexy choir robe, and shockingly, I think it works.
Raven-Symoné
I love this locked-in top so much I need to borrow it, and those glasses, actually!
Sophia Bush
No notes for the lady in red.
Marissa Bode
A little bit Wicked, a lot Bridgerton, I see the vision, girl.
Cooper Koch
His new show just came out, he’s trending, and I’m very into this baby ascot.
Jools Lebron
Even though Jools was clowning on TikTok about how 2002-coded this layering situation was, it stuns on camera, so a win is a win.
Dylan Mulvaney
She’s giving Victorian-ghost-I-actually-wouldn’t-mind-haunting-me realness.
Lis Nas X
This is something Carrie Bradshaw would wear on the streets of Soho, and that’s obviously a compliment from a fellow maximalist.
Maren Morris
More high necklines! Maren’s look is angelic. Boring but angelic.
James Charles
This fit is one trench away from going yassified Inspector Gadget, no? The lacing up the back is cute, though!
Michaela Jaé Rodriguez
Obsessed with this ballerina ass vibe!
Megan Stalter
The internet’s favorite funny girl looks like she would sue you for millions in court, and I’m living for it.
Jonathan Bennett
There’s something very astrologically aligned about this see-through button-up/sparkly blazer combo.
Heather Dubrow
I can’t wait to hear about how stressful this glam was on the next season of RHOC (the glam in question, a hairpiece, in case you were confused).
Mark Indelicato
Best dressed of the night, hands down. Extremely fitted. I would approach him with nothing but RESPECT, for sure.
Zachary Quinto
Need to know where he got these jeans, fr.
Victoria Justice
She looks so sweet and willing!
Racquel Chevremont
Am I losing it, or has Racquel done this exact aesthetic many times before?
