Vogue Singapore’s award-winning landmark event, NEXT IN VOGUE, returned for its third edition in 2025. Celebrating the best of fashion, culture and lifestyle through the lens of innovation, NEXT IN VOGUE brings together global voices and regional changemakers leading the creative industry for a multi-day programme that spans thought-provoking panels, a curated fashion exhibition, an innovation lounge, and expert-led beauty and styling masterclasses.

I was invited to attend NEXT IN VOGUE 2025 with the 2 Day Pass so I’m excited to share all the details from the annual event so that you’ll know what to look out for, for your next NEXT IN VOGUE.

This year, it was hosted at the Event Hall at WEAVE, Resorts World Sentosa and the very first event held at Sentosa’s most anticipated new opening.

Outfit Details

Dress: Eliya the Label from Style Carousel
Heels: Valentino
Earrings: Dior

When I first spotted this Eliya the Label dress on Style Carousel, I thought of my 20 year old self and how she would’ve loved to wear this. I haven’t worn a short dress in years and thought, “why haven’t I”? I figured since I can borrow this, I should give it a go paired with sheer sleeves, my Dior Tribal Earrings and Valentino Rockstud Heels. I think my 20 year old self would’ve been proud.

Dress: Vivienne Westwood from Style Carousel
Heels: Roger Vivier from Style Carousel
Earrings: Vintage

I wanted a dress that screamed Vogue and when I saw this, that it’s a Vivien Westwood and that it was available to borrow on Style Carousel, I had to hold back my excitement. And the perfect pair of heels to match the dress – Roger Vivier Silk Flower Strass Pumps in Red.

Vogue Closet

Step into a world where couture takes inspiration from Southeast Asia’s rich heritage and cultural traditions.

Next in Vogue Conversations

In a world transformed, the rules of fashion, business and culture are being rewritten. As legacy systems give way to new value frameworks, brands, creatives and consumers are rethinking what success looks like – and how to build it.

This year’s theme, The Year of the Reset, brought global thought leaders together to chart fashion’s new direction – spotlighting the rise of Southeast Asia and the creative forces redefining where influence and innovation flow.

Glam Room

Givenchy Makeup Masterclass

I had the privilege of attending the Givenchy Masterclass in the Glam Room exclusively at Next in Vogue where we learned to perfect our signature make-up look under the expert tutelage of fashion and celebrity make-up artist Kenneth Chia. We had access to an array of Givenchy’s best-selling make-up products, from bronzer to foundation, to recreate the steps in real time. Seriously considering to get some of these. And it’s true, the foundation was not messing around, bye money.

It was an incredibly eventful 2 Days! I had so much fun snapping pics at the photo booths, learning how to look like an effortless It Girl with Givenchy and listening to the personal stories from the designers especially of Prabal Gurung’s mom and Robert Wun’s grandmother, such inspirational women from humble beginnings who raised men who are now changing the way we view the world through design and fashion. I also thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with the Asian Civilisations Museum and Burberry’s history in Singapore as a history buff. I stayed right till the end just for Mikimoto – my dream – since my 20s working in an old jewelry store.

Thank you for brining this to us Vogue Singapore. This was my second year attending NEXT IN VOGUE and I hope to be able to cover it again for the years ahead.
