At 62, Demi Moore just proved age is irrelevant when you’re serving pure fire. The Hollywood legend walked into The Plaza Hotel for Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2025 and instantly owned the red carpet in a never-before-seen Balenciaga Spring 2026 masterpiece. Named Global Woman of the Year, Demi wore a dramatic black-and-white strapless gown with architectural layering, razor-sharp tapered trousers, and floor-length white opera gloves that screamed old Hollywood glamour meets futuristic edge. Chennai fashion circles are calling it the look of the decade.
Styled by Brad Goreski, with sleek ponytail by Dimitris Giannetos and iconic red lip by Rokael Lizama, Demi’s ensemble broke the internet within minutes. Her speech on sisterhood had Tyla, Rachel Zegler, and the entire room in tears “When one woman rises, we all rise.” Fresh from The Substance Oscar buzz, this was Demi’s ultimate victory lap.
The gown: a sculpted white bodice with rounded neckline flowing into dramatic black silk panels that cascaded like liquid metal. Designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli in his debut Balenciaga collection, it’s valued at $48,000 and won’t hit stores until March 2026. The high-waisted black trousers featured hidden corsetry for that signature Balenciaga exaggerated silhouette. White satin opera gloves extended past the elbow a direct nod to Audrey Hepburn but with 2025 edge.
Her beauty look was equally legendary: a waist-length ponytail so sleek it reflected light, paired with the boldest red lip seen this awards season Charlotte Tilbury ‘Carina’s Love’ reportedly mixed with Pat McGrath crimson. Zero jewelry except diamond stud earrings worth ₹3.2 crore. Tamil Nadu makeup artists are already calling it “Demi red” searches up 680% overnight.
The Plaza Hotel carpet turned into a runway when Demi posed with honorees Tyla in neon Versace, Rachel Zegler in vintage Dior, and Ms. Rachel in custom rainbow sequins. But every camera stayed on Moore proof that 62 looks better than 22 when confidence is your filter.
Accepting Global Woman of the Year, Demi dedicated her award to “every woman who ever felt invisible after 40.” She spoke about daughters Rumer, Scout, Tallulah as her chosen family, and how female friendships saved her during darkest times. The line “I spent decades trying to be perfect for men now I’m perfect for me” got a standing ovation lasting 90 seconds.
Her Instagram post hit 12 million likes in 6 hours: “The gloves are staying ON literally and metaphorically.” The behind-the-scenes video of her dancing in the gown while zipping up those gloves has 46 million views and counting. Chennai college girls are using it as pre-wedding getting-ready template.
Exactly one year after The Substance’s 13-minute Cannes ovation, Demi is now predicted to win Best Actress Oscar 2026. The film grossed $182 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing body-horror ever. Her transformation into Elisabeth Sparkle complete with prosthetic aging and youth reversal is being taught in acting schools.
Indian critics call it “the role that destroyed ageism in Hollywood.” Kochi International Film Festival is hosting a special screening December 2025 with Demi attending virtually. Myntra already launched “Substance Red Lip Kit” sold out in 11 minutes.
Total: ₹7045. Add confidence and you’re red-carpet ready. Chennai’s Nungambakkam boutiques are taking pre-orders for exact glove length.
