The post A Glimpse Into The Past – A Collection Of Timeless Red Carpet Appearances – 10 Vintage Gowns appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Lizzo 

Lizzo is an expert at making a fashion statement and she did just that at the awards last night. She wore a gorgeous orange Dolce and Gabbana fit which was an indulgence to look at. The cloaked coat (which resembled more of a duvet cover in shape and size) had beautiful orange 3D flowers worked on to it. She symbolised the beginning of Spring, which was a fresh and long awaited feeling we needed to have.  

Doja Cat 

Doja Cat has had an incredible couple weeks back-to-back of main character fashion moments. After her full-body crystal encrusted Schiaparelli look at Haute Couture week, we had to wonder, how will she continue to meet this ever-rising bar. Her slick Versace look certainly hit the nail on the head. Doja rocked up to the awards in a black vinyl mermaid gown partnered with full-arm matching gloves. The dress was very Morticia Addams as the train was exaggerated and the fabric plays right into the goth-core aesthetic.  

H.E.R 

The peplum returns. We really loved the Bach Mai look which H.E.R wore and can’t imagine how anyone could disagree. The full black was very chic and the sheer and velvet combination complemented each other so well. A lady who loves her shades, she wore round frames and accessorized with layers of silver sparkly necklaces.  

Lourdes Leon 

Creating a similar moment to the red crystals of Doja the other week, Lourdes Leon appeared on the red carpet in a lush Area gown. The gown was also embroidered with sparkly red crystals, coincidence? We will be keeping our eyes open for more of these looks. The floor length dress was a spectacular piece of craft and was very flattering. The striking cross necklace worn was eye-catching and hints towards the punk influences which are coming into 2023 fashion. 

Bebe Rexha 

A pretty vision in pink from Bebe Rexha. The halter-neck dress worn by Rexha was very classic Hollywood and we always appreciate an old Hollywood glamour inspired look. The Moschino design could not have been better showcased than on the ‘I’m Good’ star. Note to self, high-gloves are continuing to pop-up in some of the most spectacular looks of 2023.  

JLO 

JLO does not know the meaning of a fashion flop. Every time she is on the red-carpet, she is wearing incredible outfits which make their way into the fashion history books. The navy Gucci gown was dripped with fringes of crystals and featured a large ruffled sheer train. Nothing is too much sparkle for JLO, so she layered three Bulgari diamond necklaces and threw on a selection of rings.

Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello wore a stunning dress from the PatBo Spring 2023 runway collection. The dress was very elegant but also tapped into multiple major fashion trends of the year. The silver and pearl embroidered aspect of the dress (as well as the jewellery) is something to keep in mind for the up-coming season. The 3D roses are also a design which we are expected to see cropping up in the next few months. We loved the design and think the minimalist simplicity was complimentary and striking.  

Cardi B

 An incredibly high-fashion, almost theatrical look from Cardi B had us on board straight away. A Fantastical piece of design and craft was worn by the star who continues to bring us anthem after anthem. The bright blue cut-out gown was part of the Gaurva Gupta Haute Couture collection which showcased at the Spring 2023 fashion week. Staying away from over-powering the look with jewellery, she opted for no necklace, but diamond earrings and a three-finger ring.  

Beyoncé 

The Queen B broke history at the Grammy awards last night as she took home her 32^nd win. The silver and gold Gucci dress was made for a star and she obviously pulled it off beautifully. The record-breaker looked phenomenal in the futuristic reflective mini-dress. We were obsessed with the accompanying black leather gloves which pulled the whole look together seamlessly.  

Anitta

This look was one we couldn’t sleep on. Striking would have been an understatement as the black leather and lace gown was a piece of master craft. The strapless vintage Versace number hugged Anitta’s figure until it flared out into an incredibly artistic train. The train featured layer after layer of ruffle which led the eye through a maze of fabric. Another gown with the Morticia aesthetic, the Versace gown is right on the goth core trend. Anitta embellished with some stunning silver jewellery which complimented the look.

Muni Long

Muni Long took home the award for ‘Best R&B Performance of The Year’ and we are here praising her for her look as well as her win. The sheer gown resembled a pink sky at sunrise. The airy and ruffled effect of the train of the dress was day-dream worthy. Super gorgeous and feminine.  

Megan Fox 

The slim-fitted white gown which Megan Fox wore was a gorgeous choice for the model. The corseted bodice of the dress was fully embroidered with gems and jewels (which obviously matched with MGK’s look for the evening). The dress was divinely feminine and visually eye-catching as it caught the light and glistened. No surprise that it was a Zuhair Murad design.

Paris Hilton

Last night, Paris Hilton gave us a look to remember. The sparkly Celine dress gorgeously dripped down Paris and we loved the cut of the dress. Cut-outs featured in the back and front of the dress (very 2023 if we may say so) and the super fine straps exaggerated the sense of delicacy the gown possessed. Paris also chose to avoid heavy, overpowering jewellery for this look to keep it as minimalist as possible.

PinkPantheress, WILLOW – Where you are

‘Where you are’ is a track that was teased on Tiktok for weeks, creating an unmistakable buzz and anticipation for its official release as you flicked through your FYP page. It’s undeniable that the rise of bedroom artist PinkPantheress has been crazy to watch, and uniting with an artist as highly-acclaimed as WILLOW is touching on new territory whilst creating the classic PinkPantheress sound we have grown to love. 

Bambi Bains – Mistake

Merging vulnerability with an infectious summertime soundscape gives you the latest single from Bambi Bains. If you’re entering summer newly single, this could be your go-to tune, as Bains sings lyrics straight from the heart that we can all relate to; “going to dance you off my mind until I feel alright”. 

Megan Thee Stallion – Plan B

Meg took her Coachella crowd by surprise with this track, performing it on weekend 1 before ‘Plan B’s’ official release. Quickly, videos shared from the festival gained traction, with fans praising Meg’s old school Hip-hop style flow. Of course, her flow may be slightly different, but her hot girl persona stays intact throughout, giving us all a slice of much-needed confidence. 

Becky G – NO MIENTEN

Coinciding with the announcement of Becky’s third studio album ‘Esquemas’, ‘NO MIENTEN’ dropped, getting us all excited for the record’s release date on May 13th. ‘NO MIENTEN’ is equal parts seductive as it is contagious, sending a fiery electronic dance rhythm to us just in time for summer. With this coming as the fourth electrifying single release from her upcoming album, we are in for a treat! 

KAROL G – PROVENZA

Another track that came to surprise us this month, ‘PROVENZA’, shows us a side of KAROL G that we don’t often see. We have become accustomed to high energy, powerful tracks, such as ‘MAMIII’ and ‘Tusa’, however ‘PROVENZA’ offers us something completely different. ‘PROVENZA’ is delivered as a gentle, carefree and Latin-kissed track, which is further mirrored by the picturesque music video, which features women of all different body types embracing themselves and nature in a unique spin on empowerment.  

Erica Banks – Pop Out

Delivering unapologetic energy in its purest form this month is Erica Banks, proving she has more up her sleeve to follow her viral hit ‘Buss It’. Complete with a sassy and assertive video, this could be the anthem to soundtrack your summer.

Justine Skye – What A Lie

Serving glamour, pristine vocals and honesty, Justine Skye has officially entered her new era. With lyricism surrounding the topic of a partner’s unloyalty surfacing, this track offers relatability whilst also showing the strength that can come from a breakup. Justine’s vocal performance is mirrored with delicate accompaniment, really letting her voice shine. 

DreamDoll, French Montana – Ice Cream Dream

With old school flows and production taking centre stage, this is a track perfect for any Hip-Hop lover. Linking up with French Montana further encapsulated the old school vibe DreamDoll was going for, as the pair match their flows and lyrical matters to create a vibrant synergy.  

Blessing – The girl next door

One of the most promising talents emerging right now, Blessing, released her EP ‘the girl next door’, and we’ve been loving her unique sound. Our favourite track, Freak, tells the story of rising above the judgement of others, as Blessing projects “guess time don’t close old wounds”.

Anitta – Versions of Me

When talking about the top releases this month, we had to mention Anitta’s latest album ‘Versions of Me’. Bursting with huge hits such as, ‘Envolver’, ‘Boys Don’t Cry’, ‘Faking Love’ and ‘Me Gusta’, this is an album with something for everyone to enjoy. From collabs with the likes of Saweetie and Cardi B, this ambitious album seamlessly blends between powered pop tracks, rap features, R&B and reggaeton. Anitta yet again proves why she is the artist on everyone’s lips right now.

BIA, J.Cole – London

We didn’t expect to hear BIA shouting out Shoreditch this April, but we were pleasantly surprised with the lyricism of her latest collaboration with Rap legend J.Cole. From synchronised flows, tongue n cheek lines and an infectious video that perfectly encapsulates the energy of London, this collaboration delivered everything we could have hoped for.  

Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign – We Go Up

Although this track dropped at the end of March, the video didn’t officially drop till April 19th, and we had to include it! Currently used by over 530 thousand TikTok users, Nicki’s unapologetic and sassy lyrics are proving to be some of her most popular in a while. The duo devour the song’s drill beat and super-compressed production, which comes as no surprise. The video further reinforces the vibrant energy of this collaboration, with Nicki rocking signature pink wigs and a whole wardrobe of extravagant styles, as the pair’s chemistry does the talking whilst they pull up in a pink Lamborghini, in true Minaj style.

Cardi B, Annita, and Myke Towers ignite the Brazilian-style music charts with their new hit ‘ MeGusaa’.

This Latin power brings us a catchy single full of sensuality, joy, fashion, colours, and culture. Recorded in the iconic streets of Salvador, Brazil where Michael Jackson recorded his video ‘They Don’t Care About Us’, Cardi B and Anitta compose a fashion show, reflecting the Brazilian soul, talent, and enthusiasm under a fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms such as Brazilian funk, Pagodao, Arrocha and commercial pop.

Anitta, the beauty from Rio de Janeiro, debuts with this video produced by Ryan Tedder, as a sample of her new collaboration with Warner Records. With the hot Dominican touch Cardi B and the Puerto Rican Mike Towers, with more than one billion songs on Spotify.

MeGusaa, Anitta (Feat Cardi B and Myke Towers) Official Video

The message of this song is simple, empower the image of women. Recognize their bravery, attitude and give them the courage to be who they want to be, exalting their beauty and their power, “I like the ‘woman’, When they shake their ya, ya, ya, I like when they want it, Go and get it, ya, ya, ya ”.

Under the percussion of Didabandafemenina, these two pop divas catwalk in joyful carnival-like settings with colourful, floral, and textured sets, with a vibrant, sensual, and fun attitude. Anitta in a head to toe match neon animal print outfit or an iconic colourful flamingo dress on the Brazilian streets with oversized hats playing the percussion with small and sensual pieces, proud of her culture.

Cardi B, extravagant and fashionable, with a lilac corset matching an oversized skirt of purple and lilac roses, exploring and declaring her Afro-Latin roots, “I have the flavour of an Afro-Latina, And I move my waists like Shakira, La Cardi, and Anitta, two fly ‘Mamacita’s’, Bad bitches I like them all. ‘

Finally, Mike Towers with a pink and purple set, flirting under flattering lyrics to women, under his Latin flow, “get creative, all the ‘women’ are beautiful, but the ones I like the most are Latin”.

The trio will premiere the song on television tomorrow on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and will also be part of iHeart Radio’s Fiesta Latina 2020.

At Voir we like it like that, girls!
