This past week was a fashion spectacle, with a series of high-profile events turning the spotlight on glamorous ensembles. As New York Fashion Week handed over the baton to London Fashion Week, the latter saw Saweetie stealing the show in Richard Quinn, embodying the vibrant spirit of the season. The MTV VMAs added to the sartorial excitement, with its VIP guest list showcasing a range of striking styles. The grand finale came with the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, where elegant frocks took center stage. From flowing tulles to bold asymmetric cuts, the red carpet was a testament to exquisite style. While awards may have been the focus, these standout wardrobes proved that a fashion win is just as significant.
The Looks
Aja Naomi King truly reigned as King at the 2024 Emmy Awards, perfectly matching the event’s glamour with her striking presence. The Emmy nominee dazzled in a breathtaking Giambattista Valli dress that featured a ruffled floral bodice and an extravagant tulle train cascading from the draped mini-dress. Her emotional moment on the red carpet was matched only by the dress’s exquisite hyper-feminine details, making it a standout choice of the evening.
Meanwhile, at London Fashion Week, Saweetie captivated the crowd with a mesmerizing Richard Quinn creation. Her off-the-shoulder ball gown, adorned with overlapping floral details, evoked a garden in full bloom. The sheer skirt revealed a layer of gleaming black fabric beneath, adding depth and sophistication to her already enchanting look.
Again, Coco Jones brought a touch of fairy-tale magic to the VMAs with her enchanting appearance in an ethereal Lever Couture dress paired with Stuart Weitzman silver sandals. The gown’s lightweight, cloud-like texture and deep neckline, along with its asymmetrical sleeves and high slit, created a mesmerizing effect. Her sleek, short bob further accentuated the look, showcasing timeless elegance.
Similarly, Sabrina Elba turned heads at the 2024 Emmy Awards, which she attended alongside Idris Elba. She looked stunning in a vintage Thierry Mugler gown from the Spring/Summer 1998 collection. The black-and-white halter neck dress, with its sheer black accents, perfectly highlighted her curves and embraced her signature neutral palette, proving that classic styles continue to captivate.
Kerry Washington dazzled in Balenciaga while keeping her signature style intact. In New York City, she turned heads with her voluminous waves and sparkling accessories, perfectly complemented by her shimmering mermaid dress. Also, her classic black nail polish, paired with a sleek black clutch, added a modern, ‘It-girl’ vibe to her look. Also, at the Emmys, Skye Marshall embraced a similar shine in a Christian Siriano creation. Her structured off-shoulder dress, adorned with bronze beads along the sleeves and waistline, featured a luxurious velvet skirt that flowed into an elaborate train. Both of these fashion icons demonstrated that true glamour comes from a blend of personality, achievements, and style. They definitely passed the vibe check.
