Rihanna was the star of the red carpet as all eyes were on her and A$ap Rocky wearing Christian Lacroix and Bottega Veneta. Her blue fur get up was a vintage Lacroix haute couture piece from FW 2002 and fell nothing short of Badgalriri’s signature style. Elevated with stacked silver necklaces and black leather gloves, she stole the show.

Co-host for the evening, Maya Jama dazzled us as she wore a stunning olive-green gown with cross over detailing at the top and embroidered flowers at the front. The silk flowing train also included intricate embroidery along with a fishnet trim encapsulating Connor Ives as a designer as we see his unexpected fabric combinations and striking colours first hand.

Jourdan Dunn served us a head-to-toe leopard print moment with Dior. The model chanelled her inner black-cat energy with the cat-eye lashes, and showed off her legs with the micro shorts, perfectly accompanying the blazer and long black gloves. The bakerboy cap finished off the look with a British essence for the British Fashion Awards.

Ashley Graham walked the carpet in a gorgeous black dress from David Koma’s first collection for Blumarine. The black dress included a sheer train to finish it off and a structured bodice showing off her figure. Graham, who had her VS debut earlier this year, finished the look off with a slicked back bun and all silver jewellery.

The stunning Halle Bailey wore a bespoke Ellie Misner dress and channelled her inner Disney princess on the red carpet. She arrived with a light and airy presence as she graced us in a couture piece draped in pearls and holographic cut outs mirroring when she starred as The Little Mermaid.

Alex Consani became the first transgender woman to win the Model of The Year award last night and as Voir puts it – made style accessible to women everywhere. She walked the carpet looking gorgeous in a Dilara Findikoglu moment and celebrated backstage in style after thanking the transgender models who came before her, paving the way for Consani to flourish.

Julia Fox joined Consani in supporting emerging designer Dilara Findikoglu, as she broke the internet in the custom dress. The white floor-length gown included sheer cut outs showing off Fox’s figure, and styled with a wet-look up do and icy makeup to tie everything together.

Simone Ashley, Bridgerton star stepped onto the carpet in a baby pink, strapless Prada gown. The coquette dress had different levels to it; from a short front to a long train at the back and was finished off with a matching pink bow on the bodice. Styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, Simone Ashley for sure had her girly moment on the runway in that dress, along with a slicked back hairstyle which was giving an iconic pixie cut at the front.

The look gave her a luxuriously fearless presence on the runway.

Munroe Bergdorf left Voir nothing short of speechless as she dominated the runway in a Patrick McDowell gown. The structured silhouette on the bodice broke off into a bubble skirt and was accompanied by a luxurious train graciously following her. The statement dress created a memorable bridal-like vibe which was sophisticated paired with dramatic flair.

There is no denying that hot girl summer is well underway, with the return of Queen B and Drake dropping a surprise dance album. Whether you’re on the hunt for your next big hype tune or need some sonic relatability this summer, we’ve got you covered! Here are all of June’s top releases that we currently have on repeat;

Beyoncé – Break My Soul

There’s no better time to channel Beyoncé than summer, as everything from her confidence to her attitude is an inspiration. So, we were thrilled to see Bey is back! ‘Break My Soul’ is filled with affirmations, dance rhythms, and a classic 90s dance sample of ‘Show me Love’ by Robyn S. If you need a pick me up or are dealing with heartbreak this summer, this is the song for you! 

Princess Nokia – Diva

You can’t truly thrive in hot girl summer unless you uplift and empower the women around you. And, it is just as important to appreciate all the incredible women who paved the way for us. With this track, Princess Nokia celebrates all the divas who came before her, from Shakira and Beyoncé to Whitney and Aaliyah. Pair this uplifting message with the triumphant soundscape of ‘Diva,’ and you have one of the most empowering tracks of summer 2022. 

Drake – Honestly, Nevermind 

We were taken by surprise on June 17th, as Drake dropped an album with no announcement. But, to surprise us even more, this is no usual Drake album. Instead, Drake has embodied the dance genre and incorporated it within his usual flow, creating a perfect summer style. He took the world by storm in the summer of 2016; can he do it again? 

Flo Milli – Conceited

Delivering bags of personality, sass, and confidence this summer is the fabulous Flo Milli. From just one play of this track, we were already feeling ourselves! Flo has delivered a stellar flow, beat, and meaning with ‘Conceited.’ We will be sure to keep this on our radar for any moments of self-doubt. 

Lil Nas X, YoungBoy Never Broke Again – Late To Da Party

Bringing us all the good vibes this month are Lil Nas X and NBA Youngboy, as they dropped a slick-produced Hip hop track that encapsulates the modern rap style. Many say this is a collaboration no one would have seen coming, but we love it! 

DellaXOZ – i want, doesn’t get

If you’re in need of some relatability that still delivers positive, uplifting summer vibes, DellaXOZ has just given you the perfect track. Complete with lyrics honing on moving on from a relationship, this song is great for anyone focussing on having a healing girl summer! 

Jada Kingdom – Fling It Back

You can’t go wrong with a good summer dancehall beat, and Jada Kingdom certainly understood the assignment. This is one for the girls ready to dance the hot nights away without a care in the world. 

Chlöe – Surprise

Chlöe gave us our supply of divine feminine energy on June 17th with her latest single, ‘Surprise.’ Showing us her cheeky side with suggestive lyrics, it’s safe to say Chlöe’s solo endeavours are set to be memorable and definitive. 

Lila Iké – Wanted

Reggae is a genre that can impact your mood in such a dynamic way, and it is even more prevalent when it’s summer. Lila Iké delivered a reggae dream earlier this month, complete with heavenly vocals, infectious rhythms, and meandering melodies. 

FKA twigs – Killer

If hard-hitting beats aren’t your vibe, FKA twigs’ latest single is calm whilst still encapsulating the summer sound. This is a much more pop-sounding track for twigs, and we are excited to see if she will dabble further within the genre. 

Saucy Santana, Latto – Booty

Summer is for fun, and this track delivers just that, courtesy of Saucy Santana and Latto. From an iconic sampling of Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy In Love’ to tongue n cheek lyrics surrounding self-love, this song is inevitably fun and infectious. 

Aitch, Bakar – In Disguise

Giving us 2010’s British rap realness this month is Aitch and Bakar, with cheeky lyrics and guitar motifs that inject unmistakable energy into this track. One thing is for sure; we will be pressing our replay button on this one!
