VOIR ICONS: Rokael Lizama – The Artist Behind Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Glam and Hollywood’s Most Iconic Faces

Welcome to VOIR ICONS — our new editorial series spotlighting the visionaries reshaping fashion and beauty from the inside out. First up? Rokael Lizama, the celebrity makeup artist trusted by Beyoncé, the Kardashians, and the biggest names in pop culture to deliver jaw-dropping, era-defining beauty looks.

From the divine drama of Renaissance to the rebellious glam of Cowboy Carter, Rokael is the man behind Beyoncé’s every era—and now, he’s defining his own.

The Cowboy Carter Era: Glam With Grit
As Beyoncé gallops into her Cowboy Carter chapter, her look is as bold and unapologetic as her sound. And Rokael is at the center of it all.

From sultry, sunset-toned eyes to the now-iconic “juicy nude lip” (crafted using Rokael Beauty’s ‘Alignment’ Lip Shader, ‘Lucero’ Lip Oil, and ‘Refined’ Velvet Crème Lipstick), his latest creations are a lesson in modern Americana meets high-fashion editorial. It’s raw, refined, and entirely Beyoncé.

At Voir, we’re obsessed.

From Durango to Destiny’s Child and Beyond
Rokael’s story begins in Durango, Mexico, and unfolds in the heart of Hollywood. He started out grooming stars like Drake and Kanye West but quickly transitioned to makeup, working his way into the trusted inner circle of celebrity glam.

Today, his client list is a who’s who of modern icons: Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Normani, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, and UK radio darling Yasmin Evans and many more.

Whether he’s perfecting a Kardashian smokey eye or giving Normani runway-ready skin, Rokael brings editorial precision to every red carpet, music video, and arena tour.

“My Goal isn’t perfection it’s power”

Rokael Lozama

Rokael Beauty: Where Artistry Becomes Ritual
Launched in 2017, Rokael Beauty is an extension of his artistry. It began with lashes (his “Sun, Moon, and Stars” collection is still a pro favourite) and has evolved into a full beauty line, now worn by Beyoncé herself.

The brand’s hero lip trio went viral thanks to Cowboy Carter, proving that Rokael doesn’t just follow the culture—he creates it.

Working with Icons, Building His Own Legacy
In addition to his own brand, Rokael was tapped as a Complexion Consultant by Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, helping to create their groundbreaking 51-shade Triclone SkinTech Foundation—a role that reinforced his reputation as one of the most technically skilled artists in the business.

Yet despite the star power, Rokael remains deeply grounded in his mission: to elevate, empower, and evolve what beauty means.

Social Media Pull Quotes (for Instagram or Carousels):
“From Cowboy Carter to Kardashian couture, Rokael Lizama creates the looks that define pop culture.”

“I create for the woman who knows who she is—and isn’t afraid to shine.”

“Rokael Beauty isn’t just a brand. It’s a reflection of my culture, my journey, and my love for transformation.”

“The glam isn’t just makeup—it’s a message.”

Why Rokael Lizama Is a VOIR Icon?
At Voir Fashion, we celebrate the disruptors who make beauty fearless. Rokael Lizama is one of those rare artists whose work transcends trends and becomes part of the cultural fabric. Whether it’s Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter glam or the sculpted elegance of the Kardashians, his artistry moves with purpose—and power.

He doesn’t just do makeup.
He creates the moment.

]]>  A few days ago, Givenchy launched its FW 2024 women’s campaign, unveiling a series of playful and provocative looks that push the boundaries of high fashion. Among the faces of this bold new launch is Neelam Kaur Gill, the British-Indian model who needs no introduction. Known for her striking features—sharp cheekbones, expressive eyes, and a presence that commands attention—Neelam stands as a beacon of representation in an industry often perceived as an exclusive club with rigid entry rules. 

 

Neelam’s inclusion in this campaign is not just about aesthetics; it’s about the statement she brings with her. In a world where conformity often overshadows individuality, her unwavering commitment to her roots and her pride in her heritage make her role in this campaign as significant as it is groundbreaking. 

From Coventry to Couture: A Journey of Self-Discovery 

Neelam’s story is as inspiring as it is authentic. She didn’t grow up in the world of fashion and never saw herself as part of it. In Coventry, she was a self-proclaimed “normal working-class girl,” shy, awkward, and unsure if she fit the industry’s mould. Modelling was simply a way to save for university, but it quickly evolved into a career that would redefine her life. 

At 18, Neelam took a leap of faith and stepped into the world of modelling—not with grand ambitions, but as a means to fund her education. What she found instead was a path that would redefine her life and, in turn, the fashion industry. 

Staying True to Her Roots 

When advised to drop “Kaur” from her name to appear more racially ambiguous, Neelam refused. “I’ll always remain true to myself,” she stated. Her commitment to her identity has become her trademark. Now, as the face of Givenchy, she carries a legacy, a culture, and a fierce commitment to staying true to who she is. 

A Career Defined by Representation 

Neelam’s journey in the fashion industry began with campaigns for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, where she first gained recognition. But it was her debut on the Dior runway last year that marked a significant turning point in her career. Walking for Dior wasn’t just a personal achievement for Neelam; it was a cultural celebration. “Deeply grateful to have been a part of this moment in history, especially as a Punjabi girl,” she shared, acknowledging how significant it was to see her culture embraced by a fashion house she had long admired. 

Givenchy, a brand known for its elegance and classic beauty, chose Neelam not just for her striking looks, but for the depth she brings to their campaigns. Her presence challenges traditional beauty standards and opens doors for other women who, like her, may have once felt they didn’t belong. 

A Continuing Legacy in Fashion 

Neelam Kaur Gill’s role in Givenchy’s FW 2024 campaign signifies a continuation of fashion’s evolving narrative—one where authenticity, diversity, and cultural pride take centre stage. Her journey from Coventry to the global stage is a testament to the power of staying true to oneself, and her influence in the fashion world is only just beginning.

The “clean girl” followed the trend of silent luxury, minimal makeup, sleek hair and dressed to match a quintessentially “old money”, bourgeoisie style. However, like in most cases, when there is one trend for too long, we yearn for something different.

]]> The “mob wife”aesthetic as coined by users on TikTok is the antithesis to the minimalist, “clean girl” aesthetic that has reigned supreme through the 2020s. The “clean girl” followed the trend of silent luxury, minimal makeup, sleek hair and dressed to match a quintessentially “old money”, bourgeoisie style. However, like in most cases, when there is one trend for too long, we yearn for something different. 

The “mob wife” and in general, the ethos of the mafioso is based in rags to riches. It is the story of the American dream albeit steeped in the grit of the criminal underworld. It is this grit which makes it so much more attainable. This is not to say the “mob wife” is not fashionable. She is very fashionable but, for the longest time she has also been looked at as iconography for the term, “nouveau riche”. She is defined by the gaudy, over the top, almost tacky sense of style.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVglbOATIT/?igsh=MWgxdWs2NGM1dDZv

The “mob wife” is a femme fatale extension of the mob boss. While her authority is derived from being romantically related to the boss, either as his wife or mistress, she is usually portrayed as an individual who is just as commanding. In some variations of the “mob wife” we see her taking over the role of the mob boss when he is incapacitated. Early iterations of her in popular culture, see her be relegated to “arm candy” but, what we do see later on is her dipping into her powerful sexuality, wit and charm to manipulate dynamics in her favour while playing “subservient”. The “mob wife” also plays into the trope of the dark feminine. She is power itself in six-inch heels.

She is above all, chic. She is the complete opposite of understated. She keeps her wealth where she can see it, in her wardrobe. To become her, is to adopt her attitude and that attitude reflects so closely through her style. We are going to look at iconic movie and television “mob wives” to try and break down this aesthetic.

The Sopranos

https://www.instagram.com/p/CYuUVlLvka6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

One of the most titular mob stories to ever hit our television screens is that of the Sopranos. While we all followed along Tony Soprano as he carried out his business across New Jersey, we all fell in love with his two love interests and their distinct styles.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQoc1SDusZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Edie Falco’s portrayal of Carmela Soprano is what we see be replicated across our social media screens when we look at the established “mob wife” who is at the top of the hierarchy, the boss’ wife. She has been styled as a quintessential, Italian-American New Jersey mom complete with manicured French tips, period appropriate juicy couture velour as lounge wear while she maintains the house, a fluffy, teased-out bob and ornate stacks of jewellery. One cannot forget amidst the sea of gold chains and diamond tennis bracelets to add the diamond encrusted cross in honour of her “piety”.  There is an air of preppy suburbia she tries to imitate.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CknuA_Wy3Xh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The second kind of mob wife that we see is the mistress, like Adriana La Cerva. She is young, feisty, more sexual, and more importantly holds a fickle position in the hierarchy. Therefore, to secure her position she uses her sexuality. Her style is sexier than the yuppie look trying to be emulated by the wife. She has deeper necklines, crop tops, leather pants, animal print galore, faux fur coats (preferably gifted by the boss) and even more stacks of gold jewellery. The hair gets bigger, the make-up gets bolder. The whole look is aimed at drawing eyes towards her, to stay relevant and out of reach from the rest of the world. She wants to be the top man’s wife but, is not quite there yet. The French manicure is traded in for bold red gel extensions. The hair is longer, the jewellery is far more “in your face” with thick gold hoops, gold bangles paired with contrasting bracelets.

Casino

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cetv0D9sSpr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995) introduces to us the character of Ginger McKenna played by Sharon Stone. While we have seen this character be iconic in her own right, she saw a revival in the zeitgeist with Euphoria’s Maddy Perez idolizing her and her relationship with low-ranking gangster “Ace”, as the epitome of wealth. This toxicity would of course mirror in Maddy’s own relationship but, what is more important is Maddy herself is a working-class heroine known for her incredible style and confidence. To mirror the characters is important in understanding why the aesthetic is gaining traction today.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CMMku8rHVeW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Ginger McKenna is a hustler. She was her own boss much before she gets involved with Di Nero’s character and this independence is shown in the way she dresses. She is someone who uses her looks to distract men as she grifts them this means she has shorter hemlines, cut-outs, lower necklines and flashy accessories. Her make-up is overtly sexy choosing to use smokey eyes and frosted lips to attract “victims”. Her clothes, more often than not, include some form of pattern, there is colour. She is THE visual component when she is on screen, daring people to objectify her. Her hair takes on a more 60’s bouffant look. It is interesting that most of these women are emulating what was considered classy a decade prior, perhaps copying what they saw to be classy whilst growing up but not being able to afford it at the time.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CNVDR8aFs0I/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4CaBUFPlS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Scarface

https://www.instagram.com/p/CzWqXWKIVbf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The final epitome of “mob wife” is Michelle Pfeiffer’s 1983 role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface. She embodies the idea of the “prized possession”/ “arm candy” idea that is associated with the boss’ girl. Elvira has been established as the young, beautiful, classy woman that has stayed at the top for a while. She is a (white) status symbol that establishes the crime boss as legitimate—his wealth and class as legitimate. She is in stark contrast to other “mob wives”. Her aesthetic aligns with yuppie culture but mixed with the vice of the Miami vice scene. She wears jewel tones, big sunnies to never show her emotions to outsiders and is far more volatile on the inside than in her outward appearance. Elvira prefers structured suits, flowing silhouettes and an understated yet, glamourous aura. Elvira is an enigma and her sensuality comes from being the mysterious, unattainable wealthy woman.

]]> What archetypes come to your head when you hear Britain? Top of mind, we think of fish and chips, ‘mates’, rain, a good pint, and the Beckhams. Everybody’s favourite British family (no, we didn’t overlook the Royal Family) has risen to a level of fame that rivals the Kardashians in pop culture merit and Gordon Ramsay in Britishness. How could they not?

England’s most loved (or hated, depending on the time) football player and Spice Girls’ very own Posh Spice became the it-couple of the 90s and 00s, with anything as small as an innocent kiss in a BMW making the front page of newspapers everywhere. And with Netflix’s documentary ‘Beckham’ holding the #1 series spot in the UK days after its release, there’s been a collective melancholic reminisce of the couples’ cultural significance. Inevitably then, we’re immediately thinking of Victoria and David’s headline-generating coordinating outfits.

Since they started dating in 1997 until now, the Beckhams have always been bold and unafraid in their style choices– truly as British as it gets. Whether it was a black-and-white moment, denim on denim, or their iconic purple wedding attire, they were (and are) role models for couple dressing. If you´re craving more Beckham nostalgia or simply want a trip down memory lane, here are the most iconic matching outfits they pulled off.

Engagement Announcement, 1998

In all-black looks showing off the engagement ring David chose for Victoria, this was the beginning of their matching outfits journey. Many doubted the relationship would last, but they’re living proof that couples who dress together, stay together.

All-Black And THE Sarong Skirt, 1998

During the 1998 World Cup, the Beckhams stepped out in their signature black palette. Only this time, David was wearing a patterned sarong on top of his obsidian trousers. Although now we think of it as one of his most iconic moments, at the time it caused controversy and outrage everywhere. It was even on the cover page of The Sun with the headline “Beckham has got his Posh frock on”. The Jean Paul Gaultier piece was a gift from Victoria, which just proves they were both ahead of their time.

Leather Co-Ords, 1999

Although they were still in the early stages of their romance at this point, is there anything as powerful as matching Gucci leather jumpsuits to prove how serious your bond is? They wore their Matrix-inspired co-ords (the film had just been released) to the Versace Club party, which Victoria still has mixed feelings about. During a 2022 interview in “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”, she said: “I mean it haunts me. It does haunt me, but I love it. We really thought about it and there was a naïveté to it that was just so sweet.”

The Wedding, 1999

Image Source: Twitter

The famous Beckham wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin had paparazzi and fans barricading the outside gates, impatient for a glimpse of the couple before OK! magazine’s coverage of the event dropped later (the celebrity news outlet paid one million for exclusive access). In one of their most iconic style moments to date, they chose Antonio Berardi purple outfits to cut the cake. Even a 4-month-old Brooklyn had a purple suit of his own. In the Netflix documentary, Victoria commented “it was fun, we weren’t worried about what people were going to say. You just want to express yourself, that’s just who we were,” she said. David laughs about it now: “I’m trying to think back to when I decided to wear a purple suit, and I don’t know when that happened… But what were we thinking?”

Brown-On-Brown, 2000

Reigning in the new decade in their London home, David matched Victoria’s corseted jumpsuit and animal print boots with a glossy long brown jacket of his own (very Matrix-Inspired still).

Marching White, 2003

For their MTV Movie Awards in LA, the couple went for all-white ensembles with matching crystal adornments. David wore a sparkly cross necklace and Victoria opted for shiny embellishments on her dress, a subtle detail that reveals the careful thought and attention they put into their outfits. We’re not surprised they headed to Diddy’s iconic white party afterward, but it is shocking that they managed to look so put together while raising two kids.

Blazer Boom, 2003

It was summer in Japan, halfway through the year, when the Beckhams’ style became as sophisticated and polished as the nickname Posh Spice suggests. With matching blazers dressed down with jeans, this was the start of Becks’ more tailored suits and Victoria’s current preference for corsets, formal stilettos, and cigarette pants.

A Navy Royal Wedding, 2018

Britain’s pop culture royalty chose navy glamorous attire for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. Victoria wore a structured dress from her eponymous brand and a netted pillbox hat, whilst the ex-football player chose a formal suit to match his wife. The dark pieces are not unlike the ones they wore to Kate and Will’s nuptials seven years prior, proving that if anyone can do formal wear, it’s the Beckhams.

Double Denim, 2023

For a casual movie night with Victoria’s sister Louise, the couple arrived separately– but in the same Canadian tuxedos. In an Instagram story, the fashion designer wrote “I thought those days were over,”, playfully adding “I got dressed first fyi!!!”. Although Britney and Justin did it first in 2001, this serendipitous accident shows how in sync the couple are– even after 24 years of marriage.

Family Fun, 2023

https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ5dF4mh1J7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&img_index=1

In honor of their 22nd year anniversary, David shared a carousel Instagram post of some of their style-savvy matching moments. One of them included the whole family wearing matching black silk pajamas, including sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and their daughter Harper. “22 years later, still matching outfits,” David captioned his post. “Happy anniversary love u so much and thank you for giving me our amazing kids so we can all wear the same”

]]> Another January means another Golden Globe Awards. And for those of you reading in-between the lines, yes, that means more iconic outfits will be worn and obsessed over. This year we were left to wonder what incredible fashion pieces were worn as the Globes were untelevised due to the restrictions regarding Covid-19. No red-carpets sadly meant no style photos. So, we have been patiently waiting with high hopes for the Golden Globes Awards of 2023. 

In celebration of the event returning to our screens and social media’s we have gathered our top iconic looks from previous years. Dating back over sixty years of iconic outfits, the results of our winners are in. Take a look for old-times-sake and reminisce in the fits which wowed us at the time and are still taking our breath away today. 

Marilyn Monroe, 1962

Starting off with a classic and our earliest pick of the list, we have Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 look. A Norman Norell sequined gown captivated the world as Monroe bagged herself a Golden Globe for World Film Favourite Female. The gown is so beautifully timeless and classic it has to make the list for iconic Golden Globe gowns.

Cher, 1973

1973 has made it to the list because of Cher’s iconic style. Queen of the 60s and 70s, it is only right that Cher is featured during this decade of award looks. In a classic Cher style, she shows off her defined stomach and embraces fun, bright patterns on her two-piece. Symbol of the two-piece look, she pairs with an enlarged fur coat which at the time was seen as boundary pushing.

Barbara Carrera, 1989

We are walking on cloud 9 with this look. The white, silk ruffled gown creates a picture of elegance which has therefore, of course made this look an iconic fit, worthy of our list. It is striking, it is mesmerizing and it would still make a moment worthy of fashion history if it made its debut now. 

Andie MacDowell, 1991

Entering the 1990’s we have multiple looks which we have selected for you to marvel over. The Four Weddings and a Funeral actress, Andie MacDowell, who was nominated for her performance in Green Card, created an iconic moment at the 1991 awards. The low-slung back of the glitzy dress was a super sexy contrast to the modest front and captures the 90’s style at its finest.

Julia Roberts, 1991

Winner of the Best Actress in the Comedy/Musical category and our favourite Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts. The awards saw Roberts wear a pin-striped suit dress, and if it wasn’t obvious then it is very obvious now that this look was a monumental fit which would be marked as a favourite decades later. The dress, taking inspiration from the suit style and power dressing of the 80s, with a super 90s minimalist silhouette is symbolic of the style change.

Jennifer Lopez, 1998

The asymmetry of the gown worn by J-LO in 1998 is everything. A huge round of applause for this stunning design. A dress ahead of its time which could easily be worn for the next awards and receive the same level of praise as it did in the 90s. 

Angelina Jolie, 1999

The silver glittering Versace dress of the 1999 Golden Globe Awards which Angelina Jolie wore makes the cut. It is hard to envision a more glamorous gown after laying eyes on the sparkly floor length design. The Versace dress is vintage Hollywood at its finest. 

Halle Berry, 2003

The powder blue satin gown worn by Halle Berry in the early 2000s is of course a classic. The accompanying evening shawl, embellished shoulders and mermaid style skirt is iconic of the time period and is still a look gathering attention today. 

Sarah Jessica Parker, 2004

Style icon, Sarah Jessica Parker, warrants a place on the list with her 2004 Globe look. The strapless Chanel gown which featured a longer train in the back than the front was an iconic look for the decade as it embodied the style of early y2k perfectly. 

Beyonce, 2007

Golden gown for a golden girl. There is no surprise why this dress is worthy of a mention as it is a spectacular piece of craftsmanship from Elie Saab. The forward slit in the skirt of the gown and dazzling gold sparkles is a memorable design which we have to honour. Perfect for Beyonce’s figure the dress emphasized the superstar’s curves and could not have been more flawless. 

Jennifer Lopez, 2009

Another gorgeous gold frock for the Golden Globes. The liquid gold Marchesa gown was the epitome of Golden Globes fashion. The shimmering iridescent fabric which draped over Lopez was hard to not be spellbound by and years after we are still under her spell.

Jennifer Lopez, 2011

J-LO’s 2011 gown is a sparkle-lover’s dream. Seeing a lot of leg slit gowns in our mix, this side slit is notably more subtle than others. The gleaming white dress which features a small train at the back is super on brand with J-LO’s style and we love the look even more, more than a decade after its debut.

Jennifer Lopez, 2013

We did tell you; J-LO has truly ruled this feature. Adding our fourth and final J-LO look to our long list of iconic Golden Globe looks is her 2013 Zuhair Murad gown. The skin matching figure-hugging gown has a layer of sheer fabric embroidered with white lace which has been delicately and strategically placed around the gown. A combination of sexy and stunning. 

Margot Robbie, 2014

The super sleek number worn by Margot Robbie in 2014 is a delicate design of sophisticated style. The actress revealed her leg in the high-slit gown which fitted her figure perfectly. The dazzling embroidery was subtle, however, just the right amount of sparkle to catch passing eyes.

Kendal Jenner, 2018

The luxurious Giambattista Valli gown of the 2018 awards is welcomed into the mix. The black haute Couture dress gained its iconic status on the red-carpet four years ago and maintains its legacy. We reckon the dramatic train of the strapless tulle dress had something to do with it.

Kerry Washington, 2020

The 2020 look worn by Kerry Washington gives us a fresh and differentiating style compared to our list so far. The Altuzarra design is hard to pick flaws in. Washinton wore with elegance and glamour and the fit has earned its place rightfully. The blazer partnering with the satin black silk skirt works incredibly well and the sequined silver heels tie in with the knotted silver jewels which keep the blazer in place.

Zoe Kravitz, 2020

A polka-dot princess is in our midst. The 2020 look worn by Zoe Kravits is a monochromatic dream outfit. The off-the-shoulder 60s influenced dress stood out amongst the year’s line up on the red carpet and we love the vintage throwback of the style.

Winnie Harlow, 2020

2020 is proving to be the year of Golden Globe iconic looks. The dazzling fringe dress is straight up Winnie’s style and that is why we rate it so highly. She dripped in sparkling silver fringe as the high-slit revealed her left leg in a glamourous fashion. Paired with the high pair of black stilettos, we love the whole ensemble.

Our list of all-time iconic fits worn at the Golden Globe Awards, does suggest a winner due to their frequency of featuring. Featuring many times in our list… Jennifer Lopez… is crowned queen of the Golden Globes.

British supermodel, and one of our all-time favourites, Naomi Campbell surprised us on Tuesday announcing the birth of her baby girl at the age of 50.

The news was shared via Instagram where she wrote “A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” under a photograph of her hand cradling her baby’s feet. “So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life… no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love.”

In honour of the exciting news and the supermodel’s upcoming birthday, we have selected a few of her most iconic looks through the years.

Versace Versace Versace!

You already know how much we love a good Versace moment, and no one does it better than Naomi Campbell herself. This is why it was so hard for us to choose a single one.

From the Met Gala 1990 iconic Versace print look to the 1997 sparkly mini dress in honour of Gianni Versace. Naomi represents Versace and its essence in a way that’s hard to replicate, and these looks prove why.

Alaïa Statement Looks

There’s something about Naomi’s looks that makes them special, and it’s not just about the designers that dress her but about the way in which she wears each of her looks.

These Alaïa moments are the perfect example, a statement dress with a simple black corset or a stripes co-ord look (that too be honest not all of us would consider). They’re amazing anyways, we know, but Naomi wearing them just put them in the looks to remember.

Red On Red

Naomi wearing a red mini-dress, oh and it’s sparkly too, what else can we ask for?

Simple due to its loose form, but sexy and bold thanks to its colour and tranquil fit.

Red Carpets with Cavalli

Two of our all-time favourite red carpet looks worn by Naomi, and of course, they’re Cavalli.

“Simple”, flattering, and metallic designs, that leave us speechless due to the delicateness of their details and embroidery.

A Cultural Moment

A look that proves that culture can be incorporated properly into fashion without having to appropriate it, nor miscommunicate it. Naomi wore a Marianne Fassler that transmits her love and appreciation for African culture, specifically the South African one, while respecting its traditional costumes but integrating them into the current fashion scene.

Violet Valentino

This gown needs no introduction. For the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme of the 2019 Met Gala, Naomi certainly understood the assignment, with the glitz and glamour that only added to her iconic radiance.

The renowned ‘First Monday of May’ is approaching, and if you love fashion as much as we do you were probably wondering about the future of the Met Gala… questioning whether the iconic gala would be returning this year or not. The cancellation of the event, which we witnessed in 2020 was the expected outcome for this year’s edition too, but luckily for us (and the fashion world), a few things have changed this time around.

Anna Wintour and Andrew Bolton, the godmother and godfather of the annual ceremony in honour of the Costume Institute, have officially announced its official return and possible themes. Yes, you’ve heard it right… the Met Gala is back and will have more than just one theme. The exhibition will be divided into two separate chapters, which technically means two Met Galas.

The first exhibition ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ which will be presented on September 18, will be centred on the “modern vocabulary of American fashion”, and will feature the new design stars of the current American fashion landscape. The second exhibition “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” will resemble more the previous (and familiar) Met calendar, and will take place on May 2 of 2022, (the First Monday of May). As the name suggests its theme will revolve around the main names in American haute couture.

The division of the event into two different exhibitions is a rather unusual one, but an exciting one after all. There may still be uncertainty surrounding the new path taken by the event but what is certain is that it will be an exciting celebration of America. A way to explore the American fashion legacy while reflecting the current times by transporting the limitations imposed by the pandemic into the fashion scene.

In honour of the come-back of Met Gala, we have selected our favourite looks and moments from its previous editions. Have a look while we await the upcoming exhibitions:

‘Fearless lives forever’ reads the tagline that accompanies the poster for one of 2018’s most anticipated movies: Bohemian Rhapsody. Telling the story of one of the most incredibly talented men to ever grace the earth with his presence. If Elvis was the ‘king of rock ‘n’ roll’, Freddie Mercury was truly its queen.

With a four-octave vocal range that has never been repeated, and an ability to work with a crowd in a way never seen before, he was always set to go down in history, even if his style hadn’t been so iconic.

Lucky for us, it was. Freddie was the first performer to push the boundaries of the gender norms and just wear the clothes he wanted to, he set the precedent for the artists of the future, without Freddie we most likely wouldn’t have artists such as Olly Alexander, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga in the charts now. He was also influencing the style of icons even before Queen got big, in 1969, he fitted a pair of boots for David Bowie while working at a stall in Kensington Market, and 12 years later they were recording music together.

Whether it was strutting around the stage in a monochrome catsuit, or red striped shorts and suspenders, keeping it elegant with a flowing white tunic (that features in the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody), or simple with blue jeans and a white vest for 1985’s Live Aid performance that went down in history as ‘rocks greatest ever performance’, he always dressed to impress. Freddie Mercury wasn’t just a style icon, he set a new standard of what a rock-star could be.
