Anna Wintour, Nicolas Ghesquière, Governor Gavin Newsom, and More Announce Vogue World: Hollywood at the Chateau Marmont
Vogue World is ready for its close-up.
Today, Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast Anna Wintour announced in the courtyard of the Chateau Marmont that the fourth annual global event will take place on October 26, 2025 at Hollywood’s Paramount Pictures Lot—the oldest film studio in Los Angeles where masterpieces like Sunset Boulevard and Breakfast at Tiffany’s were shot.
Whereas the New York iteration of Vogue World celebrated a city emerging from a pandemic lockdown and Paris acted as an opening ceremony of fashion with over 500 models, athletes, and performers, Vogue World: Hollywood will explore the stylish symbiosis between film and fashion. 100% of ticket proceeds will go to the Entertainment Community Fund, with a focus on supporting costume community professionals impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. Vogue will work with the Costume Designers Guild and the E.C.F to identify those most directly affected.
“We will be using the event to fundraise for costume designers and for film industry professionals who lost their homes—and often much more than their homes in the fires this winter. It also offers us a chance to acknowledge the creative work that keeps fashion and the movies close. It will be a one-night-only show with a huge cast of models, actors, dancers, musicians and surprises,” Wintour said. “It will set great film costumes next to brilliant fashion collections and will be a little bit like a fully operational day at a movie studio, but also an incredible tribute to the love affair between fashion and film.”
It’s also a love letter to Los Angeles, long a city of dreamers. In the 1920s, the then-burgeoning entertainment industry moved from New York to California due to the good weather and an abundance of land. As silent films became “talkies,” the ambitious ingenuity of the city’s creatives (now called “Hollywood”) mastered a new, emotional medium of storytelling that changed culture forever. “I spent hours as a child watching movies. Naturally, I see it in my work. I see it in the references I'm making and the story I'm telling, and in the woman I'm defining,” Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of Louis Vuitton women’s collections, told the crowd, which included Kendall Jenner, Quannah Chasinghorse, as well as Alton Mason. “Los Angeles is a place of immense cultural richness. The more I spend time here, the more inspired I feel.” He also gave a special nod to costume designer Arianne Phillips, who in 1998, put one of Ghesquière designs from his debut collection on her client Madonna. It “opened up a world that I did not even know existed,” he said. This lead to loud applause—after all, many Los-Angeles based designers, including Aurora James, Jonathan Simkhai, Eli Russell Linnetz, Jennifer Meyer, Shirley Kurata, and Jacqueline West, were there.
