Lil Nas X

Trust Lil Nas to always make a statement, be it the launch of his new music video or setting fire to the stage. This time, it’s his custom Atelier Versace suit that delivers a straight win. The asymmetrical blazer is a 2-in-1 gown with a stunning uptake on a traditional suit and is adorned with hand-applied crystals. It is off-shouldered from one side and transitions into a gown-like train. The outfit is paired with a matching pair of simple lilac boots.

Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo dazzled the red carpet in an archive Versace Spring 2001 couture gown. The magenta tulle draped intricately across the corseted coral satin gown and the visible boning have been inspired by the silhouettes of the 1940s. Rodrigo paired the gown with matching magenta danglers carved in the shape of a butterfly, simple yet stunning!

Normani

Normani bumped the temperature up a notch in her sexy two-piece Partyja Pagas white set at the VMA’s red carpet. The cropped vegan leather jacket highlighted her toned midriff and belly piercing. The boxy jacket features gathered sleeves and exaggerated cuffs and the asymmetrical mini skirt with an extended panel that elevated the outfit into a futuristic look. Normani chose to pair the outfit with jewelleries from Djula.

Megan Fox

If you have dropped your jaw, you are alone. Sheer dresses have engulfed the fashion trend this season and Megan Fox has worn it in all the right ways. Donned in a risqué see-through dress, Megan slew the VMA red carpet accompanied with a pair of platform heels and a wet-look hair get up. The Mugler dress featured spaghetti straps and highlighted her embellished silver thong. A completely daring outfit that did not need an extra elaboration of effort, Megan aced the look that makes us go, “Girl! Vibe Check !!!“

Jennifer Lopez

There’s never a dull day with JLO’s stunning outfits and 2021 has been all about that. Jennifer Lopez decided to daze the crowd again at the VMA in her David Koma co-ord lace-up dress. The silhouette features a double-slit skirt wound in lace completed with mirror work detailings that boasted of her aspiring toned physique while the top is high neck and long-sleeved with lace-closure at the center. The outfit set the stage on fire accessorized with a pair of clear heels.

Anitta

Anitta wooed the crowd at the VMAs in a custom Miss Sohee glamorous outfit. The gown features a plunging neckline. The bodice is shaped and textured in clamshells bedazzled with crystals. The Brazilian singer brought back the glove fetish as she sported a pair of white satin opera gloves that perfectly sufficed the daring black and white outfit paired with Alexandre Birman Maddie Sandals.

Doja Cat

You may have already pictured Doja Cat wearing something stunningly out of the box and it was just that.  For her red carpet look at the VMAs, Doja cat gave us a 2021 version of the Glam-rock in her black sheer corseted Vivienne Westwood mini dress draped in purple fabric. The dress was accessories with red thigh-high latex socks and high platform heels. The look was equated with a chunky pebble neckpiece and oxidized pair of earrings that sent off antique vibes.

Kacey Musgraves

Whoever said there is never an event for exaggerated hats! Exactly. No one ever! Kacey Musgraves chose to go all purple with a dash of red leather gloves as she stepped out in an exceptional look sporting a Valentino Purple mini dress along with a larger-than-life feathered hat. Cinched at the waist featuring a round high neckline, the dashing purple ensemble is balanced with a pair of simple clear heels.

Bella Poarch

TikTok celeb Bella Poarch amazed her fans with her goth-inspired look. Styled in her patent pigtailed hairstyle, the Filipino singer dropped a style statement in an intricate lace jumpsuit that cascaded in a dramatic and elaborated layered cape train that definitely looked like Bella ‘leaving her haunted mansion’. The jumpsuit featured an exaggerated waist and flared pants-clad in sheer and black lace that covered her foot.

Rita Ora

Rita Ora strutted down the red carpet in a Vera Wang cold shoulder chemise ensemble. The all-black outfit featured a statement cape arising from the empire line along with elaborated oversized sleeves. The outfit was accompanied by thigh-high black boots including a diamond-encrusted ‘R’ and lightening shaped accessories logged in between her teeth.

The post All The Sizzling Looks Served At The MTV VMA Awards 2021 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

WandaVision was the big star of the night, snatching 4 awards in total. To All the Boys: Always and Forever won as the best movie, and the best performance in a film was won by Chadwick Boseman in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Best Hero was won by Anthony Mackie for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Regé-Jean Page won Breakthrough performance with Bridgerton, and we couldn’t agree more. 

But the star that truly conquered the red-carpet last night was Yara Shahidi. Opting for a look that was everything but low-key, she differentiated herself from the Gucci and Versace avid wearers and exuded elegance, casualness and originality. She wore a printed pair of trousers with a matching jacket and yellow corset, fresh off of her new collaboration with Adidas. The actor, model and activist (and now designer) is doing exceptionally well in her career, and at only 21 years old she’s making very attractive entrepreneurial moves.

Wearing one of the ReCreation Heritage tracksuits, she took inspiration from her beautiful and eclectic mélange of ethnicities, both Iranian and African/ American; the silkiness of the fabrics is a reference to the luxuriousness of Persian rugs.

“My first instinct was how do we honor the past in a way that also pays homage to the future, the one thing that I wanted people to take away was even though a lot of these details are specific to my own growing up and the things that impacted me, the entire campaign is about how we re-create our heritage. I’m constantly figuring out what it means to me to be Black and Iranian—it’s ever changing.”

Yara Shahidi To Harper’s Bazaar

Even in the details, Yara paid homage to her roots: the Superstar sneakers read from right to left, showing the way her heritage is subtly embedded into her identity. 

Shahidi told Harper’s Bazaar- “Versatility [within my Adidas collection] was important, because I want it to be a tool like [the brand] has been for me. And I know just whether it be from red carpets to going to school or going to set my clothes that I travel with has been of the utmost importance.” And her attire for the Awards shows exactly this, the outfit completed by Christian Louboutin pumps and vintage Cartier jewelry, repurposed from the archives, for this red carpet look.

Addison Rae

The TikTok star turned heads as she hit the red carpet, looking like a vision. Keeping her hair in soft, tousled beach waves her glam was fresh and on-trend. Makeup artist, Mary Philips (a regular face painter for stars like Bella Hadid and Kendal Jenner) used an unreleased Pat McGrath blusher to achieve that fresh-faced glow.

The post Our Favourite Beauty Looks From the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards that aired last night might not have been what we’re usually accustomed to due to the current historical period, but it was definitely an event to remember. It was meant to take place in Budapest but instead was held as an online ceremony with all of our favourite celebrities tuning in from different parts of the world, from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro.

Alicia Keys, Madison Beer and many more attended the event and not only showed us their amazing talent but also wore show-stopping looks, and that’s what we’re here to talk about.

Check out our top outfits of the night:

1. Madison Beer

The ‘Good in Goodbye’ singer attended the event wearing three different looks throughout the night, three different looks to obsess over. However, our favourite one has to be the custom made Vivienne Westwood satin dress with silver detailing and matching stain boots that spiced up the look. A bold yet elegant look perfect for an alternative red-carpet, don’t you think?

2. Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow proved to us once again that you can never go wrong with a black gown. The model sensation wore a velvet Ralph & Russo couture gown characterised by two slits across the stomach and an open leg one keeping the classic option modern and daring, just like her. The look was completed with diamond choker and earrings from Gismondi 1754.

3. Doja Cat

Doja Cat received her ‘Best New’ award in a full Givenchy by Matthew Williams look, one for the books. A see-through black dress with embellishments and matching gloves and jewelry. The look was completed with a fashionable contrast, purple thigh-high boots that caught our attention and defined the look.

4. Rita Ora

There’s no better combination than Giambattista Valli and romanticism, and Rita Ora’s Tulle choice proved us right. The yellow mini dress with feminine tulle flounces was one undoubtedly one of our favourites, the delicate style of dress and the contrasting black

accessories, such as the fishnet headband and sparkly heels, resulted in a look that we’d all want to wear.

5. Jade Thirlwall

A little black dress with an asymmetrical design and extravagant touches. Jade Thirlwall kept it classy with a Saint Laurent look that hugged her figure and became an epic look with the 2 metre accessory worn to remind us of social distancing. A dress and a message at the same time, what else could we ask for?

6. Alicia Keys

Quite the unpredictable look, or was it? Alicia Keys’s choice wore everything but your usual red carpet look, although quite authentic to Moschino. Her unique mustard look consisted of cargo trousers, a sporty crop-top and an oversized sheepskin and shearling coat obviously completed with some combat boots. Oh and let’s not forget about the matching sparkly mask, right on theme!

7. Zara Larsson

Versace, versace, versace… Zara Larsonn wore a custom Versace purple metal mesh mini dress, its shiny, sexy and couldn’t have been accompanied better with the matching heels choice and Bulgari jewelry. You’ll love it as much as we do.

8. Perrie Edwards

We loved Perrie Edwards blue-leather moment with her first look, but the real showstopper was her second choice. The black tuxedo bodysuit and its blue ruffled trim, with black tights and heels amazed us all and were definitely worthy of an award winning night, with a scent of 80s iconic style.

10. Becca Dudley

The presenter wore a Nadine Merabi jumpsuit in a red colour, however it wasn’t the colour to get our attention but the beautifully beaded design and fitting shape.

The post Little Mix Hit the Red Carpet: Our Favourite Looks From MTV EMAs appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Although this year’s VMA’s was wildly different from years previous, that doesn’t mean there weren’t any incredible moments for us to enjoy throughout the show. The VMA’s was the first major awards broadcast to broadcast since the coronavirus pandemic. However, from extraordinary performances to dazzling red carpet looks, this socially distanced edition of the VMA’s still had it all.

Keke Palmer hosted the event from an outdoor set somewhere near the Empire State Building, and the ceremony began with a pre-recorded video honouring Chadwick Boseman, whom tragically died at age 43 on Friday. Boseman was “a true hero”, said Palmer, “not just on screen, but in everything he did”.

As the night continued the awards were handed out, and it was none other than pop heavyweight, Lady Gaga who dominated by picking up no less than five awards, including the newly added Tricon award. Tricon award recognises an artist who is highly accomplished across three or more disciplines). Other winners included The Weeknd for best video for blinding lights, Megan Thee Stallion’s Savage for best hip hop, Taylor Swift for best direction for The Man, Maluma’s Que Pena for best Latin, On by BTS for best pop and Doja Cat for the best new artist. Some other awards were added to fit these strange times with the categories best music video from Home which went to Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande and best Quarantine Performance which was awarded to CNCO.

As always, the performances were nothing short of spectacular. The Weeknd opened up the show with a spectacular performance of “Blinding Lights” over 1000ft in the air on top of a Manhattan Skyscraper. At the same time, fireworks explode over the water behind him. Doja Cat performed hits like ‘Say So and “Like That” while dressed in a scaled iridescent catsuit, surrounded by a colourful otherworldly set. Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga both wore face masks during their performances after Lady Gaga said “I might sound like a broken record, but wear a mask, it’s a sign of respect” during her awards speech. Other notable performances included BTS, Jack Harlow and Miley Cyrus who referenced her “Wrecking Ball” video from seven years ago by riding a disco wrecking ball this time around at the back end of her performance.

Throughout the night there were many calls for unity and racial justice with Palmer stating that the unjust killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless others have demonstrated that young people will “step up, take the fight to the streets and make sure they’re heard.” Rapper DaBaby performed Rockstar while standing on a police car with a sign saying, “stop killing us” and The Weeknd, during a subdued acceptance speech, said, “like I said, hard to celebrate, so I’m just going to say: justice for Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor”.

The night ended on a good note with The Black Eyed Peas performing 2010’s “I’ve Got A Feeling” which had us all reminiscing of better times and Will.i.am had the final words of the night with “I know it’s tough right now, but we’ve gotta keep the love alive” while finishing with “Wakanda forever. Black lives matter”.

The post VMA’S 2020: All the talking points! appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Since the 1980s, the MTV Video Music Awards (also known as VMAS) have been the stage of memorable performances by the greatest artists in music, such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé and Britney Spears. In the past, these stars have dominated the show, giving us some of the most iconic pop- music moments.

This year, with the event taking place completely outdoor maintaining social distance, the VMAS will have a new setlist of performers which includes Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, Maluma, Doja Cat and more. We are certain that their exhibitions will live up to fans’ expectations and make the night unforgettable. In the meantime, here are some of the most remarkable performances of the last two decades.

Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke – ‘We Can’t Stop’/ ‘Blurred Lines’ (2013)

After years of struggle to claim her independence, Miley transitioned into a new phase of her life and, consequently, her music changed with it. Perhaps, you may remember this performance not for the singing itself but rather the over the top twerking. Once Robin Thicke hopped on stage, things got a weird turn as Miley started ‘rubbing’ on him. It sure was a shocker performance that night for the audience.

Britney Spears – ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’ (2001)

Matching the sexy vibes of ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’, Britney’s jungle-themed performance saw the singer in a tropical attire and belly button. But after coming out of a cage and dancing for over two minutes, she walked around the stage with a giant yellowish python around her neck like an accessory. This performance went down to be one of her best ones.

Beyonce – ‘Love On Top’ (2011)

Shining from the centre of the stage in her tux-inspired suit, Beyonce started her performance of ‘Love On Top’ belting out ‘I want you to feel the love growing inside of me,’ an iconic quote that shocked both the Internet and the audience. But if this wasn’t enough to hint to a possible pregnancy, she revealed it herself at the end of the song: after dropping the mic and unbuttoning her jacket, Beyonce winked and rubbed her belly with a big smile.

Taylor Swift – ‘You Belong With Me’ (2009)

Still rocking her country girl style, the young Taylor first took over the uptown subway station singing her hit single ‘You Belong With Me’ through a crowded coach with her famous red dress. She later was joined by a jumping crowd outside the Radio City Music Hall as she continued to sing on top of a car.

Lady Gaga – ‘Paparazzi’ (2009)

Fresh from the release of ‘Paparazzi’, Lady Gaga put on a quite dramatic performance which replaced the video’s fall with a dripping faux blood epilogue. Dressed in all white, Gaga sang, danced, and played the piano. Mother Monster finished the performance after being strung up from the ceiling covered in fake blood. That moment left the audience with a gasp in their mouth.

Chris Brown & Rihanna – ‘Wall To Wall’/ ‘Umbrella’/ ‘Kiss Kiss’ (2007)

Opening the show with a Charlie Chaplin tribute, Chris Brown took over the stage dancing and singing his 2007 hit ‘Wall To Wall’. Switching from stage to stage, he was later joined by Rihanna: rocking a sexy black ensemble, the singer strutted down the stage singing her smash hit ‘Umbrella’. The performance then continued with Chris Brown honoring Michael Jackson with some of his most famous moves like the moonwalk on the notes of his song ‘Kiss Kiss’.

Madonna, Missy Elliott, Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera – Medley (2003)

Channeling the original 1984 performance, the new princesses of pop performed in a medley of ‘Like a Virgin’ by Madonna as they strutted down in wedding dresses from a huge cake. But the show heated up as soon as Madonna herself came out of the cake joining Spears and Aguilera for a rendition of ‘Hollywood’. As if that wasn’t enough, she shared a kiss with both singers that had the audience stunned. Last but not least, Missy Elliott joined them afterward setting the act to become one of the most memorable moments in VMA history.

Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande – Medley (2014)

As the opening act of the 2014 VMAs, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande didn’t fail to impress the audience. Starting off with a bang, Ariana took us to space rocking a silver sparkly spacesuit in the first-ever live performance of ‘Break Free’. After her spaceship took off, Nicki Minaj appeared in a jungle-themed stage and outfit to perform her hit ‘Anaconda’. The booty-shaking performance was then followed by Jessie J who kicked off the beginning of their smash collaboration ‘Bang Bang’. Under thousands of flashing lights, the singer was joined by Ariana and later Nicki who had undergone some quick costume changes. Their performance set a bar for the 2014 VMAs which was hard to overcome.
