Ô by L'Officiel is an annual event that L'Officiel Vietnam calls the magazine's most anticipated night of the year. In 2023, it took the theme "The Body of Art", where fashion meets art, with the dress code "Empower your body".
According to L'Officiel Vietnam's coverage on 12 July 2023, the highlight of that year's red carpet was how guests mixed and matched their outfits, which the magazine found more striking than in previous years.
Lilthu hosted the red carpet: welcoming guests, running quick interviews about their looks and keeping the pace of the arrivals. It was her first time holding the mic for L'Officiel, the start of a partnership that returned in 2025.
About L'Officiel and Ô by L'Officiel
L'Officiel is a fashion magazine founded in Paris in 1921, with international editions including L'Officiel Vietnam. Ô by L'Officiel is the Vietnamese edition's event series, bringing together artists, models, designers and fashion figures around a different theme each year.
"The Body of Art": the body as a work of art
The 2023 theme placed the body at the centre: fashion not to hide or to show off, but to turn the body into a work of art. The dress code "Empower your body" invited guests to feel confident in their own bodies.
The theme matched a view Lilthu had voiced while hosting Gen Z Okela: "It's my body, I'll wear what I like" (translated from Vietnamese). Hosting that year's red carpet was not just a job, but a meeting of values.
The role of a red-carpet host
On the red carpet, the host welcomes and introduces each guest, so guests feel welcome and the audience knows who is arriving. Quick questions about the outfit give guests a chance to share the idea behind their look. The host also keeps the line-up moving so the event runs on time, and with every question, brings the audience back to the theme of "The Body of Art".
