The Las Culturistas Culture Awards 2025 are here to honor some major pop culture moments. Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo was on hand for the event, where she was nominated for a handful of awards. She also became the talk of the town when she walked the red carpet (well, purple carpet) at the July 17 taping in Los Angeles.
Nominated for three awards (more on that below), there weren’t enough flaming heart emojis to convey how much Paige nailed her awards show look, inspired by a Hollywood legend. Paige was unmissable in a sleek and black belted dress with an ultra-wide-brimmed fascinator hat precariously balanced on one side of her head. The one-piece dress with a fitted, ankle-length skirt and thigh-high slit was a perfect choice to channel old Hollywood with her own, modern take.
Paige later took her look to Instagram, where she earned the adoration of a handful of other Bravolebs, including her Giggly Squad co-host, Hannah Berner, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Margaret Josephs, and The Real Housewives of Dubai’s Chanel Ayan, to name a few.
“She had no choice but to eat,” Paige captioned in the July 18 post. Matt Rogers, who will once again co-host the LCAAs with Bowen Yang, responded, “And so she did.”
Paige DeSorbo explains the inspiration for her Las Culturistas Awards red carpet outfit
Paige posted multiple photos of Italian actress and Hollywood starlet Sophia Loren, citing her as the inspo behind her outfit for the show. Namely, a dress Loren wore in the 1958 film, Houseboat, and reportedly made by Academy Award-winning fashion designer Edith Head, according to IMDB.
Another showed the iconic actress in a second hat, one extending far past her shoulders. In a photograph of her in the dress, Paige tagged celebrated designer Jackson Wiederhoeft, whose clientele has included Miley Cyrus, Sydney Sweeney, and Lady Gaga, as seen on the designer’s Instagram page.
