Serving Looks and Love: The Best Fashion Looks From the GLAAD Media Awards

The 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles were a fabulous affair, with LGBTQIA+ icons stepping out in style for the annual celebration. The GLAAD Media Awards have been a significant event in the LGBTQIA+ community since their inception. Established by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in 1990, these awards honor media members for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQIA+ folks. Over time, the awards have expanded to include various categories and become even more inclusive.

The GLAAD Media Awards are celebrated annually in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, attracting a wide array of attendees from the entertainment industry. The awards continue to play a crucial role in promoting acceptance and understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community through media representation.

The ceremony also provides an opportunity for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars to dress-up for the night. Here are some of the best fashion looks from the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards.
