From opulent Lunar New Year celebrations to Dior’s ultra-glam Lip Glow bash, the first month of the year proved that winter soirées are just as star-studded as the festive season. Whether in London’s most exclusive venues or chic Parisian hotspots, the fashion elite rang in 2025 with style, luxury, and plenty of fête-worthy moments.
