The 2025 Fabys Awards, presented by Fashion Bomb Daily, was a dazzling celebration of creativity, innovation, and style. Held at The Glasshouses in Chelsea, NYC, the event brought together some of the biggest names in fashion and beauty for an unforgettable evening of recognition and inspiration.
Since its founding by Claire Sulmers in 2019, the Fabys have honored the visionaries behind the looks we love—hairstylists, makeup artists, designers, and trendsetters who push the industry forward. This year’s awards stayed true to that mission, featuring an exquisite seated dinner, a breathtaking runway showcase from The Fur and Leather Centre and The Doux, and a lineup of honorees who have made a lasting impact.
Among those celebrated were:
- Law Roach – Stylist of the Year
- NLE Choppa – Most Fashionable Man
- Tamron Hall – Best Dressed TV Host
- Maya Smith (CEO of The Doux) – CEO of the Year
- Azzy Milan – Most Fashionable Teen
Hosts Paul Wharton and Stacey Rusch guided the evening’s festivities, while production was led by Mecca Moore Henson and legendary image architect Misa Hylton. Guests were treated to a standout fashion presentation styled by students from the Misa Hylton Fashion Academy, with hairstyling by Janel Smith.
The Fabys guest list was nothing short of spectacular, with appearances by Jackie Aina, Ari Lennox, Crystal Renee, Mona Scott Young, Ty Hunter, Rapsody, Legendary Damon, and Eric Archibald, all celebrating the excellence and influence of Black creatives in fashion and beauty.
