A new Boy George Biopic is on the horizon, riding the coattails of Rocketman and double Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody, that made a whopping $900 million.

Produced by MGM, with Sacha Gervasi (biopic connoisseur) as writer and director, it will be the motion picture production companies’ second largest musical biopic, after the in-production Aretha Franklin biopic.

With rumours of Sophie Turner (yes, Sansa from Game of Thrones) in agreement to play the icon due to their striking resemblance, it’s certainly going to be a cinematic hit regardless.

Much like Rocketman, we’re expecting an effervescent, saturated, oneiric mise-en-scene and pathos; a fever-dream taking us back to the colourful 1980’s that is so indicative of Boy George’s image.

While we freshen up on Culture Club’s discography, as it looks like we won’t be getting this film until at least late 2020, we take a look back on the icon himself.

Boy George’s image and worldwide presence transcends age, race, colour, creed, nationality and religion – something we’re all in dire need of during a time of division.

His use of makeup is an empowering image to anyone – it demonstrates how most importantly makeup and beauty should make you feel something.

“I wear makeup and dress this way because I think it makes me look better. I am not doing it to get people to stare at me…

The most political thing you can do is be yourself. “ – Boy George

So feel inspired this summer and try out an iconic look yourself. We asked Anna Priadka, owner of MAKEUP 54, and ex-Global Makeup Artist for NARS on how to look like a ‘Culture Club Kid’.

Christmas is just around the corner, and with new festive fashion campaigns being released, we couldn’t be more excited for the new season. From Nicki Minaj for H&M, to Selena Gomez for Coach, get into the Christmas spirit with Voir’s pick of the most fashionable festive ads of the season so far.

H&M

Nicki Minaj stars in H&M’s new Christmas campaign. There’s an overall empowering message, as well as the new season’s collection.

BURBERRY

Lots and lots of fair isle knits can be found in Burberry’s Christmas campaign. The 80’s inspired short starring Cara Delevingne and actor Matt Smith, shows plenty of staple Burberry pieces and a Pet Shop Boys soundtrack.

COACH

Coach treat us to two campaigns for their festive collection: brand ambassador Selena Gomez stars in the Coach DINKY bag film, and ‘Bring On The Joy’ is a world where colours pop, metallics shine and Rexy with her mascots come out to play,

JIMMY CHOO

“Shimmer in the Dark” is the Jimmy Choo festive offering that is full of Cara Delevingne and sparkle. There’s a clever ending too with the message “I want Choo”

SWAROVSKI

With an extremely glitzy party hosted by brand ambassador Karlie Kloss, Swarovski’s Christmas campaign is set in a Crystal Wonderland brimming with celebrity. We spotted Naomi Campbell, Maggie Jiang, Chiara Ferragni, Jourdan Dunn, Fei Fei Sun, Ruby Rose, Maye Musk, Boy George and more.
