Michaela Coel’s Sultry Open-Back Gown at the BAFTA TV Awards Completely Destroyed Us
We’re all rooting for Michaela Coel at the 2021 BAFTA Television Awards. The I May Destroy You actor and creator was nominated for two BAFTAs in the categories of leading actress and best miniseries. Michaela arrived on the red carpet already looking like a winner in a custom black gown by one of London’s most exciting emerging designers, Maximilian. Michaela’s custom black Highway gown by Maximilian was inspired by the designer’s spring/summer 2021 collection. The elegantly sexy, floor-length dress featured contrasting red sleeves and two statement cutout panels on the back. She completed the look with layers of chunky gold necklaces, black nail polish, and slicked-back hair cut into a blunt, medium bob. For accessories, Michaela chose simple, black satin heeled sa...
BRITs 2021: Fashion’s New Socially Distanced Accessory Is a Pair of Opera Gloves
Opera gloves were the unexpected accessory of choice at the 2021 BRIT Awards. Held live from London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, 11 May, some of the best dressed stars on the red carpet had a few things in common: pastel ruffles, neon gowns, and “COVID friendly” accessories like designer masks, socially distanced headpieces, and opera gloves that completed a co-ordinated look. Two of the most memorable outfits on the red carpet came from Mabel and Raye. The singers wore body-hugging neon gowns with Mabel in lime green, Raye in fuchsia, and long elegant opera gloves to match. Jessie Ware and Lianne La Havas also chose opera gloves to complete their looks, but instead went for a more minimal palette of black and animal print. It makes so much sense why opera gloves are so popular...
The Oscars Red Carpet Declared the Crop Top the Quintessential Summer Fashion Item
We can’t be the only ones who have been itching for glamorous award-show fashion moments, and the 2021 Oscars delivered all that and more. Some of the most spectacular dresses from the Oscars red carpet shared a very summer-appropriate design detail — an exposed midriff, otherwise adorned by a showstopping, floor-length gown. Who would have expected that elevated crop tops and exposed midriffs would be the defining look of the 2021 Oscars red carpet? We certainly didn’t, but we love to see it. Crop tops and exposed midriffs are all about a carefree, body-positive summer, which is exactly what we need after such a long year indoors. For some, belly-baring tops are a bit intimidating or they can seem a bit too casual, but the stars of the 2021 Oscars red carpet offered examples f...
Dua Lipa Wore Thousands of Pounds of Diamonds to Perform at Elton John’s Oscars Preparty
Diamonds were the standout star on both of Dua Lipa’s performance gowns at the Oscars preparty benefit hosted by the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The Future Nostalgia singer started her string of solo performances in a black gown and later changed into a sparkling outfit to perform duets of “Bennie and the Jets” and “Love Again” with Elton John. Dua Lipa is no stranger to a very sexy red carpet moment, particularly if it’s sparkling. Her sparkling butterfly Grammys dresses are already some of the defining red carpet outfits of 2021. But while Lipa usually goes for ’90s-inspired dresses or sexy, sheer looks, her Oscars preparty gowns were expectedly formfitting but impressively elegant. Dua Lipa’s first look was a black velvet high-neck and lon...
David and Victoria Beckham’s Matching Outfits From the Early 2000s Deserve a Comeback
David and Victoria Beckham pioneered ’90s couple style in a way we hadn’t really seen before. Posh and Becks were fashion icons in their own rights, but once they started dating in 1997 — and debuted coordinated couple outfits — our love for them went to a whole new level. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Posh and Becks were shaping their individual styles while creating a shared couple aesthetic. Victoria would often wear some defining fashion pieces of the decade — chain mail, halter tops, chain belts, trucker hats, gradient sunglasses, and her own collection of animal-print details. David’s style would revolve around looking like he was straight out of a ’90s R&B music video, with some sporty tracksuits, varsity shirts, and an occasional silk hair scar...
Grammys 2021: The Stylish Stars Who Matched Their Face Masks to Their Fab Outfits
The stylish stars of the 2021 Grammy Awards left no stone unturned when it came to safety. Some our favourite red carpet regulars matched their outfits to their face masks, which took their looks to a truly aspirational new level — and we’ve got the best photos of these fabulous, and responsible, fashion moments. Before we dive into the best photos of celebrities from one of the biggest nights in music, there are two stars that deserve a major shoutout — Billie Eilish and Chika. Rap star Chika really went all out. The 2021 Grammy nominee for best new artist matched her custom pastel Nike x Meals set and lilac Versace bag with a lilac-and-mint ruffled face mask, which created the perfect balance of girlish, relaxed, and athletic style. When it comes to Billie Eilish, she always goes b...
Halle Berry’s Sheer At-Home Fashion Moment Reminds Us of That Iconic Oscars Red Carpet Dress
It seems we aren’t the only ones missing fabulous red carpet fashion moments. Awards show aficionado Halle Berry is so eager to get back on the red carpet that she had to create her own fashion moment right in her garden, wearing a black two-piece design from Christian Siriano’s pre-autumn collection. “Looking for a red carpet moment ✨ (This beauty was designed by @csiriano)”, Berry wrote on Instagram under a photo gallery of herself striking a series a dramatic poses in her home and garden. Berry is the first to wear a design from Christian Siriano’s pre-autumn collection that is made from completely recycled materials. The stunning creation features a black floor-length full tulle skirt and a matching, sheer cropped top embellished with 3D black and w...
Joy Crookes on That Brit Awards Look: “I Dressed as the Girl I Always Wish I Saw on TV”
this time last year I went to the Brits and dressed as the girl I always wish I saw on TV pic.twitter.com/2fjUtDGZNP — Joy Crookes (@joycrookes) February 18, 2021 It’s officially been a year since the BRIT Awards last took place, and we’re still talking about some of the amazing fashion from the event. One look in particular stands out, however. On 18 Feb. 2020, singer-songwriter Joy Crookes paid the ultimate tribute to her roots, walking the red carpet in an Indian lehenga and chunni (top and skirt with a matching scarf), something you don’t usually see at Western award shows. Nominated for the Rising Star Award, she spoke to BBC about her red carpet statement and said that she hoped that “young girls can see someone who looks like their mum, their auntie, their gr...
MOBO Awards 2020: The Sexiest Looks Straight From the Red Carpet
The MOBO Awards returned to celebrate music of Black origin on Wednesday, 9 Dec. at Exhibition London after a long three-year hiatus. Hosted by Maya Jama and Chunkz, Love and Compromise singer Mahalia took home most of the awards of the night, including Best Female Act and Best R&B/Soul Act — but it was the sexy outfits on the red carpet that we can’t stop thinking about. First things first — Leomie Anderson. The model graced the red carpet in a very revealing Jean Paul Gaultier sheer jumpsuit with autumnal leaves embroidered over Anderson’s intimate areas. Jourdan Dunn also brought the fire with a leopard-print, halter-neck, ’50s-inspired pin-up dress by Alaïa — so chic! Maya Jama went for a black leotard and chain-mail skirt by David Koma. Our favourite look of the ...
2020 MTV Europe Music Awards: See What All the Stars Wore to the Virtual Event
The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards took place from all over the world, with Little Mix hosting the event from the United Kingdom, Alicia Keys and Maluma performing from Los Angeles and Miami, respectively, and David Guetta streaming his blowout set from the Széchenyi Bath in Budapest, Hungary (casual). And while the event came to us virtually, it didn’t stop the stars from taking the chance to get dressed up for the occasion. Our favourite stars lit up the virtual red carpet in diamanté, embellished, and studded outfits — like Doja Cat’s sheer black maxi dress covered in crystal embellishments, Alicia Keys‘s diamanté-detail crop top, Maluma’s silver-studded vest, and Madison Beer and Anne-Marie’s satin dresses with sparkling details. When it comes to dress trend...

Nathalie Emmanuel’s Crystal-Covered Face Mask Adds the Perfect Amount of Sparkle to a Casual Outfit
Nathalie Emmanuel walked the red carpet for the premiere of Italian film Revenge Room by Diego Botta at the 77th Venice Film Festival on Monday, 7 Sept. The Game of Thrones actor wore a head-to-toe casual but elegant outfit designed by Miu Miu, which continues her ambassadorship for the brand’s “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” campaign. Emmanuel’s look for Revenge Room was extremely wearable, featuring a relaxed white t-shirt printed with a scene from the “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” film series and a cobalt blue midi-length silk-satin skirt. The t-shirt showed a scene from the “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” short film The Door, which is both directed by an award-winning Black female director, Ava DuVernay, and features an all-female cast of acc...
