The 2025 GRM Gala delivers another sublime spectacle

LAST NIGHT (August 19) the worlds of music, entertainment, and culture converged at the prestigious 2025 GRM Gala, as artists, entrepreneurs, and leading industry figures came together to celebrate Black excellence in the UK.

GRM Daily hosted their annual star-studded event at one of the world’s most prestigious private members’ clubs, The Hurlingham Club in London. 

The venue provided the perfect setting, within lavish surroundings and backdropped by 42 acres of breathtaking grounds. 

The highly anticipated event was attended by a number of GRM’s network of influential individuals, including: Jammer, Bashy, K-Trap, Krept & Konan, Sugababes, Alesha Dixon, Connor Benn, Zeze Mills, Snoochie Shy, Alex Iwobi, Blade Brown, Dean Forbes, Ms Banks and many more

The illustrious red carpet showcased some stellar outfits from leading British designers and world-renowned fashion labels, creating the GRM Gala’s glitziest celebration yet and cementing its status on the fashion calendar, while bringing together the best in style, music, and entertainment.

As is the standard for this event, celebrity guests were immersed in the very best style and opulence with official sponsors Hennessy, Moët & Chandon, Rock Angel, Volcan, and Belvedere, creating a standout experience for all in attendance. 

Hennessy brought the vibes with its dedicated Henny-Rita Social Club terrace serving up a fresh twist on the classic margarita through the evening, marrying summer vibrancy with refined craftsmanship. 

As night fell, a spectacular illuminated bottle show ignited the venue in unmistakable Hennessy flair. 

The night was further elevated by Moët & Chandon, who kept the champagne flowing throughout, as Rock Angel brought a touch of summer elegance with its dedicated rosé bar and a bespoke cocktail that quickly became one of the evening’s highlights.

Meanwhile, Belvedere made a bold statement with the launch of its daring new Dirty Brew serve, featuring miniatures served from branded belts, setting the tone for an exciting start to the night.

The GRM Gala debuted in 2020. Much like the GRM brand, the GRM Gala has upped the ante with each event and grown in size and prestige each year, including venues like The V&A Museum, Kensington Palace and The Sky Garden with guestlists including the likes of Stormzy, Damson Idris, Dave, Maya Jama, Jourdan Dunn, Mo Gilligan and Kano to name just a few.
