]]> From film premiers to award shows, it’s safe to say November has been a month to remember in the celebrity world. Some of our most memorable looks of the past week came from the following 15 celebs, and we couldn’t resist sharing their irresistible looks. 

Jade Thirlwall

Jade served this gorgeous look whilst being the recipient of the GAY TIMES Honour for Allyship, proving once again why she is an inspiration to so many. She wore a black skater dress with a corset style bodice, wearing bold makeup consisting of winged eyeliner, extravagant lashes and a dark nude lip to add drama to her look. 

Nicki Minaj

Nicki stunned instagram whilst wearing a rustic colour palette, sporting a Fendi co ord underneath a patterned trench coat. Elevating her look, Nicki wore a silver chain on her neck and knee high tan boots. 

Saweetie

Saweetie showed us how to celebrate in style as she took to instagram to share her reaction to receiving 2 Grammy nominations. The star wore a fitted black dress and black stockings, with a black fur coat draped along her shoulders creating a sultry style. Adding bling to her look, Saweetie accessorised with layered silver necklaces.

Dua Lipa

Dua looked electrifying in this black coord, complete with a long sleeve crop top and maxi skirt. She kept it all black, adding heeled boots and a handbag to match. This look is super stylish and easy to recreate, simply find a coord of your choice and keep everything monochromatic. 

Lissy Roddy

We can always rely on Lissy to be our style muse throughout winter, and we were loving this look. Lissy kept her outfit all black; leather trousers with a black jumper tucked in and black heeled boots. She then added a cream trench coat, mini green bag and black and white sunglasses to create dimensions to her look. 

Ariana Grande

Ariana rocked the stage on The Voice, channeling some of her favourite divas. To compliment her beautiful performance, Ari wore a beautiful a line dress, black leather gloves and black platform heels. And, of course, in signature Grande style she wore her hair in a cute updo, with a bow to complete the look. 

Bella Poarch 

Bella stunned in this black bodycon dress, which she styled with opaque gloves, a black handbag and black heels. Bella wore her hair in a voluminous updo, adding drama and glam to this look. 

Chloe Bailey 

Kicking off our favourite looks of the AMAs is the beautiful Chloe Bailey, who also delivered one of the best performances of the night with ‘Have Mercy’. For the red carpet, Chloe wore a black maxi dress with cutout details to accentuate the contours of her sculpted figure. Adding sparkle, Chloe wore silver jewellery. 

Winnie Harlow 

Winnie Harlow dazzled in this embellished dress, worn to the AMAs. The dress design is from the Zuhair Murad Fall 2022 collection, and features gorgeous jeweling to create a regal taste to Winnie’s sultry outfit. She further added to this effect by wearing an embellished tiara; make way for the queen! 

Jojo

Jojo showed off her curves in this sparkly silver dress, complete with a corset style bodice and a draped skirt slit down the front. She further embodied this sensual energy with her slick updo and subtle glam, turning all eyes to her fabulous figure and outfit. 

Becky G

The AMAs was a night of success for Becky, winning the award for ‘Favourite Latin Female Artist’. To celebrate, Becky wore a purple mini dress with clasp and cutout detailing to highlight her waist and frame.   

Cardi B

Host of the night Cardi B had to make sure she made an entrance, and that she did. This fitted maxi dress hugged her curvaceous figure, with a sheer black veil to add a glamorous touch. Cardi opted for a glove with gold nail detailing, creating an alluring longline with a modern twist. 

Ari Lennox

Ari Lennox rocked the The Soul Train awards with this show stopping dress, with sparkle at every inch of her look. The dress was complete with a plunged front, emphasising her figure and sensuality, whilst the asymmetrical feather detailing added a unique flavour to her look. 

Olivia Rodrigo 

Olivia Rodrigo looked angelic in this light blue sequin dress, which showed off her beautiful figure whilst keeping an elegant approach. The dress’ hem was detailed with blue feathers, adding a touch of old school glamour to a night dedicated to modern music.

JLo

JLo used the AMAs as a way to give us a glimpse into her upcoming movie ‘Marry Me’, singing her latest single ‘On My Way (Marry Me)’ to honour her role. To encapsulate her character, Lopez wore a bride style dress, with a figure hugging bodice and larger than life skirt to create an enchanting hourglass proportion.

2019 was Lizzo’s year. Her breakthrough album “Cuz I Love You” received widespread critical acclaim, making her synonymous with effortless confidence and composure. Establishing her as one of the most refreshing voices in the industry, it serves as somewhat of a manifesto of self-love and diverse representation.

True to form, Lizzo shined bright in the AMA’s. Apart from her passionate performance on stage, her costume Valentino orange ruffle dress caught everyone’s attention and gained viral status, largely thanks to her Valentino Garavani VSLING toybag, which more than anything seemed to have been created for the excellent memes that followed. Making the top of every best-dressed list from that night, Lizzo looked absolutely radiant.

While Lizzo’s body-positive attitude is largely received with love and reverberated by fans, representation and its celebration have only recently made centre stage in Hollywood. Even today, talented and successful entertainers larger than a size 0 admit to being systematically ignored by big name designers, who are simply not interested in dressing them for red carpet events.

Possibly the most infamous wardrobe-snob involved comedian Leslie Jones, whom in 2016 was set to make her Hollywood red carpet debut at the Ghostbusters remake premiere. After no designers agreed to dress her, Jones took to Twitter to ask for help. Designer Christian Siriano reached out, and eventually created an old Hollywood style red gown for her, in which she looked confident and elegant.

Following the incident, Siriano expressed his thoughts on the issue through twitter, calling out the industry’s bias against diverse body types:

“It shouldn’t be exceptional to work with brilliant people just because they’re not sample size. Congrats aren’t in order, a change is.”

In the July 2014 issue of Redbook, Hollywood darling Melissa McCarthy said she struggles to find designers willing to dress her for red carpet events, even after becoming one of the highest earning actors in the business. Taking matters to her own hands, McCarthy established her very own namesake clothing line, catering to sizes 2-28. In the 2016 Ghostbusters press tour, she exclusively wore her own vibrant and playful designs.

Other stars whose professional success and achievements were disregarded as they sought to collaborate with designers are Golden Globe winner Octavia Spencer, model Ashley Graham, and actors Dascha Polanco, Rachel Bloom and Christina Hendricks. All of which received negative answers from designers refusing to work with them, even as award nominees, simply because they were not sample size. This seems quite odd, considering that dresses for these events very often are costume made, or at least tailored.

Whether this occurs due to creative visions limited to sizes 0-2, or good ol’ institutional bias against women who don’t conform to classic body image ideals – this is not a good look for the industry. Stepping into a new decade, I hope the vision of Lizzo effortlessly strutting in a custom couture dress, exuding all the confidence in the world, will inspire designers to be allies to talented women and make them feel beautiful and confident in their own skin. The fashion industry must quickly acknowledge the value of diversity and body positivity, as there can be no better PR for brands than creating breathtaking looks for successful women, whose charisma and stage presence can fill up a whole room, rather than a size 0.
