The 2022 BRIT Awards are a much-needed fashion indulgence. Unlike film and television award red carpets, music award shows are dedicated to over-the-top celebrity outfits — and with stars like Adele, Little Simz, and Holly Humberstone leading the nominations, the looks promise to be dramatic, tailored, and a bit ’90s. Opening the red carpet was a daring, black Mônot two-piece set with zigzag hemlines worn by Maya Jama. Nominee Holly Humberstone also brought a bit of ’90s to the BRITs with a grunge-inspired black lace dress paired with feathered, arm-length cuffs. KSI kept it cool with an eclectic black harness worn over a smart grey suit, vertical split-hem trousers, and chunky platform shoes. And Anne-Marie switched it up with a minimal, black leather jacket, as opposed to her...
If there was one thing we were all highly anticipating at the 2022 BRIT Awards, it was Adele. With her return to our social media feeds and music playlists, we knew it would only be a matter of months before we saw her gracing us with another beautiful look on the red carpet — and she didn’t disappoint. Known for her Hollywood-glamour-inspired looks during award season, Adele’s outfit at this year’s BRIT Awards nodded to another nostalgic fashion moment. Dressed in a custom Armani gown and styled by Jamie Mizrahi, Adele brought the star power as she returned to the BRIT Awards after six years. Armani is no stranger to dressing stars for the red carpet. With the return of the superstar to her home ground, the brand created a classic evening ensemble to complement the occas...
It looks as if everybody on the red carpet at the 2022 BRIT Awards had recently attended a screening of “The Matrix Resurrections.” Apparently, the sartorial order of the day was “undisputedly cool,” with attendees taking us into the future by swanning the carpet in black cutouts, structural shapes, ankle-sweeping coats, and a whole lot of leather. BRIT Award winner Little Simz led the vanguard in an all-black ensemble layered with a pop of neon green, courtesy of Prada. She completed the look with some red-tinted sunglasses that Trinity would no doubt approve of. Behind her came Ashley Roberts in a standout black halter-neck Mônot gown with leather gloves — this time fusing “The Matrix” with the late, great Thierry Mugler. It was clear to see MuglerR...
Carrie-Anne Moss arrived at The Matrix: Resurrections premiere in California and assumed the role of best dressed on the red carpet with ease. Known forever in our hearts as her character Trinity, Moss wore an Oscar de la Renta couture gown to debut the fourth instalment of The Matrix film series. Moss’s dress had us immediately mesmerised. The black gown featured Hellenistic-inspired draping, ruching, and caped sleeves. With a plunging neckline and a cinched waist, the custom dress boasted silver and green sequin embroidery that started at the hemline and moved upwards, as inspired by the movie’s signature Matrix code. Within the code itself, and if you’re able to zoom in close enough, you’ll find that that the name of the maison “Oscar de la Renta” is ...
Zendaya‘s stylist Law Roach is such a master of his craft. For the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere in Los Angeles, Zendaya arrived in a slinky spiderweb-covered slip dress that looked like it was hanging on by a thread. The dress complemented her costar Tom Holland‘s sleek double-breasted suit, with the couple matching in Louboutin footwear. Zendaya‘s beige, lace slip dress covered in black beaded spiderweb embroidery is a custom design by Valentino. Roach completed the look with sparkling, black pointed-toe Louboutin heels, jewels by Bulgari, and a black lace masquerade mask. Zendaya’s straight back braids, navy blue eyeliner, and wine-red tipped manicure added subtle texture and colour to her outfit and the overall “spider theme”. Holland matched his ...
Vivienne Westwood captivated the TikTok generation after the house’s pearl bas relief choker became the most sought-after spring/summer 2021 accessory on the app. The brand’s affinity with a new, younger clientele meant that its signature designs became even more in-demand by stylists of emerging talent. Westwood’s decadent corsetry and British punk outfits are always spectacular on the red carpet, but in 2021 there were 12 celebrity fashion moments that were a cut above the rest. Dua Lipa was the one who really validated TikTok’s love for Vivienne Westwood. A few weeks after the ’90s pearl choker went viral on the app, Lipa wore head-to-toe Vivienne Westwood to collect her trophies at the 2021 BRIT Awards. Although she changed from a yellow minidress for the ...
The red carpet officially reopened for 2021, and the best-dressed stars of the year made it worth the wait. Of the most memorable moments, our favourite celebrity fashion trends were surreal gold hardware, colourful ostrich feathers, leather opera gloves, celestial caped sleeves, and extreme cut-outs — and we know the best way to style them. The appeal of surreal gold hardware started at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival with Bella Hadid’s breathtaking branched lungs gown. The black dress, designed by Daniel Roseberry for surrealist atelier Schiaparelli, featured a fitted, long-sleeve silhouette with subtle leg of mutton sleeves and a completely exposed, open-bust. Hadid’s bust was covered by a necklace with a massive pair of branched lungs for the pendant. Zendaya also wowed us at...
Jennifer Lawrence attended the world premiere for the anticipated disaster comedy movie Don’t Look Up at New York City’s Jazz at Lincoln Center On Sunday, 5 Dec. While her A-list costars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Jonah Hill, and Timothée Chalamet) definitely demanded attention, it was Lawrence’s light gold Dior gown that was the most memorable look of the evening. Lawrence wore a sparkling champagne-coloured gown designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. It featured embroidered silk with pleated cape sleeves and was selected from the brand’s spring/summer 2022 collection. The Dior gown was made even more stunning by Lawrence’s baby bump, which elevated the look with a goddess-like energy. Lawrence completed her ethereal outfit with ...

The 2021 British Independent Film Awards were held at Old Billingsgate in London on 5 Dec. to honour 2021’s most innovative and creative independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK. And whilst the focus of the evening was on the incredible films and talented actors, directors, and screenplay writers, the nominees and guests used the opportunity to show off some incredible style. The BIFA red carpet was full of luxurious, sumptuous fabrics that felt spot on for the festive season, like the midnight blue velvet suit worn by Ruth Wilson and the sapphire-coloured velvet gown worn by Alice Eve. There were plenty of glamorous metallic dresses, like Gugu Mbatha_Raw’s shimmering beige dress and Alesha Dixon’s black-and-gold number, whilst Kate Beckinsale and Lauryn Ajufo step...

Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock is about to make her film debut as the character “Georgia” in Netflix’s Boxing Day. For the official movie premiere on Tuesday evening, Pinnock arrived at London’s Curzon cinema in Mayfair wearing a sultry black dress alongside her supportive and stylish besties Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, and fiancé Andre Gray. Pinnock’s high-neck, black halter dress featured a leg slit that went all the way up to her hips on both sides and attached the low-cut back of the dress with two tiny zippers. The fabric was an innovative, textured black material that resembled a very stylish, crushed black plastic bag. The look reminded us of the gorgeous vintage, crushed texture white Maison Margiela dress that she wore to the 2021 BRIT Awar...
