The theme of the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year is “Sisterhood,” the connection between women both familial and discovered throughout every corner of the Glamour global community. It can be found both in the stories of this year’s honorees, and in the women who tell them – friends, collaborators, and admirers alike. Ms. Rachel is beautifully profiled by Glamour’s Global Head of Editorial Content Samantha Barry, Rachel Zegler by Hollywood icon Helen Mirren, Pat McGrath by longtime friend and client Tracee Ellis Ross, and the inimitable women of the WNBA – features an in-depth conversation with Minnesota Lynx playerNapheesa Collier, New York Liberty’s Jonquel Jones, Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, and sisters Satou and Nyara Sabally.
It’s late August, a few weeks before fashion month begins, and among the usual preparation and travel plans, Pat McGrath finds herself somewhere unexpected: on the other side of the camera.
For the legendary makeup artist’s Glamour Women of the Year cover shoot, we’ve transformed her New York City office the home base of her ideation, product development, and personal archive into the kind of set she typically frequents behind the scenes. It’s a rare position for the famously private artist to be in, but sometimes exceptions are made to celebrate an exceptional year. See Pat’s interview with Tracee Ellis Ross as she talks to her about her beginnings, favorite look through the years and more….
Tracee Ellis Ross: Pat, I’m putting ground rules down. We’ve got a limited amount of time. We are not allowed to kiki. That’s right. We are asking questions. We can kiki at dinner, but not now. Where are you right now?
Pat McGrath: I’m so happy to see you. I’m in my office.
Do you still remember the first time that you did your own makeup or someone else’s?
I did my own makeup. I always did my own makeup, from when I was about seven or six years old. My mom was a makeup collector. She had a dressing table with two sets of drawers, either side, and a crystal glass tray, and it was packed with color and moisturizers and everything. I’ve got to give you a gorgeous story. She saved all her money to get this moisturizer, and she saved for months and it was a little tub, a neck cream, and it had all the nutrients in it. I was running around the house, and I ran to the table. She’d gone shopping, and I covered my face and my body in it. I ran down to the front door, and she opened the door, and she went, “Oh my goodness. Look at your skin. It’s gorgeous.” I went, “It’s your cream.” Nothing left. She lost it. Lost it.
Do you remember your first job?
I think one of my first jobs was working in a shoe shop, because obviously I have a shoe obsession. On the King’s Road and in Covent Garden in London. I loved it.
Do you have a favorite look from over the years?
I mean, there are so many. Let’s just go from the simple. When you are asked, “I want the girls and the boys to look absolutely gorgeous, but I don’t want a stitch of makeup,” that forces you to make foundations. That’s why Sublime Perfection Foundation came to life, because it’s my challenge to make a foundation that is seamless, that perfects skin but that looks like skin care, has benefits, but looks seamless and nude. It forces you, especially with no-makeup makeup, to make products that I need for my brand that work well on the runway, that work in real life. You’re challenged to do the impossible at all times.
