Carolina Herrera’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, "Optimism at Play," offered a fresh take on classic black-and-white combinations while experimenting with vibrant pops of color and bold patterns for a playful, dynamic effect.

Playing with structure, volume, and color to create a bold and fresh narrative, creative director Wes Gordon draws heavily on a monochromatic palette and contrasting tones, with notable bursts of bright color and the use of floral and flower embellishments throughout. 

The first set of looks showcases black-and-white ensembles with striking sculptural details. The collection blends architectural shapes with fluid, wearable garments, making elegance feel effortless.

The collection moves into more playful territory with polka-dot prints. The prints, often in black and white, range from ruffled dresses to bold crocheted sets, adding a lively energy to the collection.

The latter part of the collection incorporates vibrant colors like fuchsia and red. Yellow is another key color in this collection, seen in the final set of looks. The collection closes with dramatic black and yellow pairings, ensuring that even the more somber tones are imbued with life and energy.

To complement the playful and floral tones of the collection, each guest was gifted a special note and a rose as they arrived at their assigned seats. Some special faces in the crowd included Karlie Kloss, Shonda Rhimes, Chloe Fineman, Nina Dobrev, and Liza Koshy.
