Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show held at London’s Earls Court, was a style orchestra. The red carpet looks were mesmerising. Sheer designs, effortlessly chic skirts and dazzling dresses ruled the red carpet, as did discreet makeup and understated accessories.
From debonair dresses to refined ensembles, there’s no doubt the ladies at the much-awaited fashion show brought their ace fashions to its red carpet. Take a look at our top picks from the festivity.
Poppy Delevingne
As one of Britain’s top models, Poppy Delevingne is a fashion icon and she brought out her A-game among a sea of stunners on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old blonde beauty was able to stand out, showing off her lean legs in a semi-sheer, layered black ensemble by Zuhair Murad that featured a net overlay skirt and a more conservative top. Channelling vintage Hollywood glamour, the supermodel and Cara Delevinne’s older sister teamed the glittering skirt with a stunning full-sleeves black crop top, comprising of abstract white patterns, while she gave her legs extra length with shiny black pumps. Toting a small black cat clutch purse, her wavy locks rested on her shoulders, while her lips were enhanced with a shade of deep cherry.
Karlie Kloss
Standing out for its non-revealing nature was Karlie Kloss’s look. Karlie is a statuesque girl and the floor-length sleeveless column dress by Alexander McQueen did justice to her elevated frame. The crepe fabric fell in place like a dream and there was a racy hint of leg thanks to the evocative thigh-high split. With crystal encrusted eyelets adorning the neckline and a contrasting black satin bow, the look was graceful, sophisticated and definitely swoon-worthy. The figure-hugging silhouette worked in an artful concurrence with the demure high neck, bringing forth an almost Victorian vibe to the orderly white dress. The supermodel polished up her winning look with peachy-pink cheeks and matching lip, accessorising with a tasteful skull-clasp clutch and black ankle strap heels.
Jourdan Dunn
Donning quite a different look from the rest, the angelic supermodel looked absolutely radiant in her monochromatic black and white cropped top and skirt combo by Paul Andrew. The sequined ensemble featured a halter sleeve style and a high neck that highlighted her toned shoulder blades at their best. The high-waisted skirt fit the model like a glove, and showcased her diminutive middle. Her dirty-blonde ombre hair, styled in a retro bob added to her chic-glam ensemble. Rocking leather strapped black heels, the 24-year-old supermodel never ceases to amaze us with her idyllic, feminine style. She accessorised the combo right with only black-stoned dangling earrings and a contrasting nude manicure, which really tied the whole look together.
Taylor Swift
Taylor did more than just rock the runway during her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performance; she ruled the red carpet big time. The Blank Space singer dialled up the drama in a stunning white Zuhair Murad Couture creation with a sheer crystal-encrusted bodice featuring full sleeves, and a stifling hot thigh-high slit — a look that was a fashion topper. While we were on the fence regarding her strappy shoe choice, the gown was outstanding, showcasing her shape at its full potential. The singer refined up the look with her signature red lips and retro waves. Borgioni ear cuffs, Sethi Couture diamond bands, Luna Rossa rings, and slightly disappointing metallic Jimmy Choo strappy stilettos served as the finishing touches. Talk about being simply celestial.
