On October 26, 2025, Paramount Studios in Los Angeles transformed into something more than a film set it became the beating heart of global fashion. The third edition of Vogue World, this time staged in Hollywood, wasn’t simply a runway show. It was a cinematic journey through time, celebrating the intertwined legacies of fashion and film, and honoring the craftsmanship behind the glamour.

The event was curated as an homage to the golden age of cinema, reimagined for a modern audience. From the very first moment, the show radiated storytelling: every scene, every look, every sound designed to evoke emotion and nostalgia. Nicole Kidman opened the evening with a breathtaking Chanel gown that recalled Rita Hayworth’s iconic Gilda silhouette, performing “Put the Blame on Mame” before gliding onto the stage like a true Hollywood legend. Kendall Jenner later appeared wearing the same gown Kidman once wore in Moulin Rouge!, blurring the lines between past and present, actress and model, film and fashion.

Yet, beneath the dazzling surface, the event carried a deeper purpose. All proceeds were directed to the Entertainment Community Fund, supporting costume and wardrobe professionals affected by California’s devastating wildfires. It was a rare moment when the glitz of fashion aligned with genuine empathy for the behind-the-scenes artisans who bring both cinema and couture to life.

Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber, Camilla Mendes and Dakota Johnson embodied a spectrum of Hollywood elegance, while V, the global superstar from BTS, brought an unmistakably international energy to the evening.

The lines between disciplines as fashion, film, music, and performance continue to blur, creating new opportunities for collaboration and cultural exchange. The show’s archival references to Black Panther, Marie Antoinette, and Moulin Rouge! highlighted not only cinematic history, but also the enduring power of costume design as a storytelling medium.
