The glamorous

Hi everyone,

I have thought the glamourous generally refer to women attractive and there is the sentence below.
Can the word "glamorous" refer to men as well?

thanks

’s ‘spend, be seen, have fun’ ethos is at its purest in Puerto Banús, with a constant parade of the glamorous, the would-be glamorous and the normal in front of the boutiques and busy restaurants strung along the waterfront.

It's less common when referring specifically to men, but in your example you're talking about people - probably rich people on vacation. We often use the expression "the beautiful people," meaning "the glamorous," as in your excerpt. It generally refers to the sort of people you'd see in "the travel section," or the models (male and female) in expensive catalogs.
