Inside the Beauty Icon Awards 2025: The Red Carpet Moments That Defined the Night

--A red-carpet moment at the Beauty Icon Awards.

Affectionately regarded as one of the most defining nights in Black beauty culture, the Beauty Icon Awards 2025 returned to Atlanta and transformed the red carpet into a study of texture, identity, glamour, and cultural authorship. Celebrities, legendary stylists, beauty entrepreneurs, and rising creators arrived in statement looks — proving once again that hair is not accessory in this world, but the centerpiece of expression.

From sculpted braids to high-polish coils to modern protective silhouettes, the night delivered red carpet beauty as language — not trend.

This year also marked an important milestone, as Vivace by Kiss continued its long-standing cultural partnership with Bronner Bros. and celebrated the official debut of VIVATRESS, the Total Braiding System brand that is poised to lead the next era.

The red carpet became its own stage — celebrity faces, stylists, influencers, and Master Braider Nastacia photographed against the Vivace logos — capturing the very image of empowerment, visibility, and ownership in real time.

And this year’s arrivals were truly star-studded —
Chaka Khan, Danessa Myricks, Jesseca Dupart, Nastacia Brady and so many more icons lit up the carpet in unforgettable looks.
Each stylistic interpretation — from hair to beauty to overall silhouette — felt intentional, powerful, and visually breathtaking.
