They’re the content creators who’ve kept us entertained and inspired during the rollercoaster year that was 2025 – and so it’s only right that TikTok’s finest got to put on their glad rags to be celebrated at the TikTok Awards 2025.
Where are the TikTok Awards 2025?
Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk took to the stage at the ICC Sydney – which has rebranded as the TikTok Entertainment Centre – as 14 awards were dished out to a diverse TikTok community.
“I feel like the coolest person in the world that TikTok have asked me to host their awards for 2025 in Sydney – there’s going to be a lot of #Winners,” the star said ahead of the event.
The red carpet and pre-party kicked off at 3pm on Wednesday, November 26, with the awards ceremony itself getting underway at 6pm.
After that, a host of TikTok stars headed to an exclusive after party.
