True style has never been a hidden affair. Although deeply personal, it is inherently expressive and impossible to conceal. Crafting a unique personal style – while embracing the occasional trendy tweak – is the secret to staying relevant and avoiding monotony. This idea was perfectly reflected in last week’s series of events, such as the 2024 British Fashion Awards in London, where true fashionistas showed their individuality with unapologetic flair.
Shortly after the award shows, a slew of film premieres followed, reinforcing the impression that the stars are fully booked this season. Among them, Kerry Washington stood out and appeared several times throughout the week to promote The Six Triple Eight following her celebration of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. True to her style, she opted for timeless fashion: simple yet sophisticated designs with strategic embellishments that added just the right touch of glamour. Meanwhile, Rihanna turned heads as she stepped out hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, leaving the paparazzi busier than ever during this star-studded week.
The looks
Rihanna made a dramatic entrance at the 2024 British Fashion Awards, wearing an archive Christian Lacroix haute couture look paired with Saint Laurent Harlow pumps. The ensemble included a fur coat, an elaborate hat and a coat-inspired gown, layered over a corset-embellished sheer dress, which perfectly showcased her flair for daring fashion. Later she supported A$AP Rocky at the Footwear News Achievement Awards, where he received the Collaboration of the Year award for his work with Puma. For the occasion, Rihanna dazzled in a custom white Maison Alaïa dress, featuring pleated hips and a high slit that accented white strappy sandals. Of course, she added a touch of ice with a sparkling necklace and completed the look with a sleek updo with blunt bangs.
Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley brought Audrey Hepburn-inspired elegance to the British Fashion Awards 2024, in a custom Prada dress that exuded both sophistication and confidence. Simone is known for her mark on the BFAs and she did not disappoint. The color, silhouette and overall theme were an impeccable combination of expert craftsmanship and bold styling. The mini flare dress, with its structured base and cascading train, was nothing short of a show-stopping ball gown. Her sleek hair, styled to perfection, provided the finishing touch, laying flat like a sniper observing his target.
Draped gowns always bring life to the red carpet, especially when they are made from luxurious silk fabrics. Celebrities love Ryan lot And Jasmine Tookes proved that this classic style is still a winning choice. Both stars opted for one-shoulder dresses, with Ryan stunning in a vibrant red Zuhair Murad creation, while Jasmine stayed true to her neutral aesthetic in a sophisticated Nicholas Oakwell dress. When it comes to elegance, a sophisticated draped dress is always game over.
