About This Event

South Asian Beauty Collective proudly announces the launch of the first-ever South Asian Beauty Awards, a landmark moment for the UK beauty industry and a significant step towards recognising and celebrating South Asian representation across beauty.

Set to take place in September 2026, Mayfair London, the awards will honour outstanding individuals, brands, and changemakers shaping the future of beauty. From founders to industry leaders, the awards recognise those setting new benchmarks in how the industry understands, represents, and serves South Asian consumers, an audience with growing cultural influence and commercial significance across the UK and beyond.

Founded by Aarti Pal, the South Asian Beauty Collective has rapidly become a leading platform and community advocating for authentic representation and meaningful industry change. The introduction of these awards marks a pivotal milestone within the British beauty landscape.

The Collective is supported by a growing network of trailblazing voices and cultural leaders who are championing this space, including Dame Meera Syal, Divia Thani of Condé Nast, Ranvir Singh of ITV’s Good Morning Britain, global musician Anoushka Shankar and Smriti Sriram OBE - among others shaping conversations across media, culture, and business.

With a focus on integrity, impact, and innovation, the South Asian Beauty Collective Awards aim to set a new benchmark for inclusivity, cultural relevance, and commercial awareness within the UK beauty industry.
