Model, activist, ambassador, mum Adwoa Aboah was honored as ‘Woman of the Year’ at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2025 in London on October 30, 2025.
Today we find her on British Vogue’s [IG] inaugural ‘Best Dressed List, celebrating the 50 models, actors, musicians and more who are shaping the fashion zeitgeist.
When it comes to Adwoa Aboah, the woman you might think you ‘know’ — and we use ‘know’ loosely — she has evolved in some spectacular ways.
The uber super Gisele Bundchen covers the December 2025 issue of Vogue Brasil [IG], closing out the magazine’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Vogue Adria [IG] December 2025 issue explores the night as mysterious realm in which our truest selves emerge. Model Erin O’Connor wears an erotic Dilara Findikoglu [IG] corsetry-inspired ensemble on the cover, lensed by Douglas Irvine [IG].
The moment AOC heard the sad news of the passing of architect Frank Gehry, Anne went to LVMH website. As expected, a message from Bernard Arnault was waiting for us all.
In 2016, Frank Gehry’s accomplishments were honored by President Barack Obama with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The presidential awards citation, read in part, “never limited by conventional materials, styles, or processes, Frank Gehry’s bold and thoughtful structures demonstrate architecture’s power to induce wonder and revitalize communities.”
Vodianova poses as a friend of the maison, in this fashion story styled byNour Bou Ezz in images by Alvaro Gracia [IG].
The supermodel has been in Doha to judge the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards. She speaks warmly about all the changes in the Arab world — especially in arts and culture. That includes the new Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum in Abu Ghabi.
Appointed in 2021 as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Population Fund [UNFPA], Natalia Vodianova focuses on dismantling taboos around menstruation.
It’s really something in AOC’s playbook when Bernard Arnault’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Antoine Arnault, steps up as a leading voice to stop the banishment of women to huts while they are menstruating. Or not having access to sanitary supplies.

December is the month for Harper’s Bazaar country-specific WOTY [Women of the Year] 2025 awards for women who inspire. AOC opens with Harper’s Bazaar Spain’s [IG] selection of Simone Biles for the Sport Icon Award.
Claudia Laukamp styles Biles in images by JUANKR [IG].
In the case of Simone Biles, she is a model of women who have embraced their vulnerability and “turned their wounds into feats of courage”.
From dealing with two — not one — cases of “the twisties” as we learned just recently; to the absolutely savage way Biles was treated by men when she withdrew from Tokyo Olympics for fear of breaking her neck; to Simone Biles testifying before Congress on September 15, 2021, in the Larry Nasser case of her own sexual abuse by the doctor of women gymnasts — Simone Biles is the inspiring type of woman Harper’s Bazaar Spain is honoring this December.

Hallelujah! AOC bumped into Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2026 Men’s Pre-Collection video and it’s so joyful. Pharrell brings his humanity into everything he does.
Styled by Matthew Henson, the campaign is fronted by English footballer playing for Real Madrid CF, Friend of the House Jude Bellingham and English actor and producer Callum Turner, a House ambassador.
Photographed and filmed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG] the footballer and actor are seen in scenes from aristocratic life — with no aloofness.

Blazy is an empath; hands down. AOC has written about his leadership style, mixed with his creative curiosity, and prior overt gestures to get the recognition for the women in his Bottega Veneta atelier that they deserved.
Jonathan Anderson is supposed to be the boy wonder creative designer we’re all trying to swoon over, but increasingly it seems like Blazy’s the one to watch.
