Monte-Carlo Fashion Week 2025, which will be held from April 22 to 26, marks its 13th edition this year. Set in the luxurious surroundings of the Yacht Club de Monaco, the event, organized by the Monegasque Chamber of Fashion, highlights contemporary creativity, sustainable fashion, and influential figures who shape the industry.
One of the week’s key highlights will be the Fashion Awards ceremony, where designers, brands, and individuals who have made notable contributions to the fashion world will be recognized for their impact, style, and commitment to the craft.
Among the celebrated figures at this year’s event is Kelly Rutherford, known to audiences worldwide for her role as Lily Van der Woodsen in the popular series Gossip Girl. Over the years, Rutherford has built a reputation as a prominent style icon, regularly seen in the front rows of fashion shows by prestigious designers such as Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture, Schiaparelli Couture, and Elie Saab.
Her presence in the fashion world extends beyond her role as a muse; she is also an active participant in the creative process. Rutherford has collaborated on various high-profile projects, including a partnership with Australian brand Lorna Murray, where she helped design a chic bob, and a capsule collection with Parisian label Carel. Known for her minimalist, elegant approach to fashion, she embodies the quiet luxury trend, which prioritizes simple lines and high-quality materials.
Rutherford shares her daily looks with her large following on Instagram, often posting selfies taken in the lift of her New York apartment building. This seemingly casual yet refined ritual has gained a cult following, showcasing her seamless blend of Parisian elegance and New York chic. In just a few years, she has cultivated an image as a modern muse who exudes quiet influence, making her a sought-after figure among brands eager to align with her distinct style.
