Style and Music have gone hand in hand for decades and music artists have birthed iconic style moments throughout the timelines. Madonna, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, the list is endless! So, while you get ready to dive into the weekend, here are new music releases that will give you major style and makeup inspiration.
Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys looks mesmerizing in the visual for ‘LALA’, her new single with Swae Lee. Her skin has an angelic, golden glow with minimalist eyes and lips. The focus is on Alicia’s skin, creating a dazzling glow that is complemented by her statement gold jewellery. Wearing layered gold jewellery perfectly reflects against the dewy, golden makeup to create a goddess-like appearance, perfect for evenings when you want an extra wow factor.
Sasha Keable and Jorja Smith
Sasha Keable and Jorja Smith wore stunning looks in the music video for ‘Killing Me’. The video is styled by @_asmailz – the opening all-black outfits reflect a reimagined mourning outfit, which later moves into a dreamy, red dance moment. The silky bustier blazer is custom from Atelier Mundane, layered on top of a black latex long-sleeve suit from Elissa Poppy to create a stunning contrast of shinning fabrics. Di Petsa created beautiful pieces which resemble wet, white fabric. The light and flowy red dresses, spotted later in the video are custom gowns from @jaime.morales.cortes, which create a beautiful array of movement and complement the staple red lips and long nails shown throughout the visuals.
Sofia Reyes and Becky G
Sofia Reyes & Becky G’s outfits throughout the ‘Mal de Amores’ video are constantly fun and stylish! Styled by @poccs, the pairs’ silk green and purple head-to-toe looks are created by Marcell von Berlin. The details of sparkling crystals, fringe elements, and flared trousers create exciting and colourful looks – these elements are also perfect for catching the light when dancing. Sofia Reyes also wears a stunning set consisting of pink and red shorts, a Bralette top, and a cropped fringe jacket. The vibrancy of these looks is definitely giving us inspiration for festival looks and nights outs!
Chloe Bailey
Styled by Max Ortega and Zerina Akers, Chlöe Bailey’s looks are gorgeous in the ‘Have Mercy’ music video. The video opens with Chlöe in a tailored, pink checkered blazer from Area. The pastel pink sunglasses are a perfect addition to the structured blazer! During the dance break, Chlöe wears a custom pink bikini look by Rey Ortiz with multiple ribbons, crystals and ties making this the perfect look for moving in. The music video also has stunning matching sets, from matching pink sports bras and shorts to a fur pastel pink skirt and bralette.
Kara Marni
Kara Marni brings together earthly elements through her looks in the music video for ‘2nd Nature’. Styled by Anastasia, the looks embody wind, fire and water. The white dress representing wind is flowy and light, made from sheer tulle fabrics. Fire is embodied through a black and red latex set, paired with matching gloves and skin-tight boots. The water look is created through a deconstructed blue knit dress, layered with shimmering crystals which create movement in different lights to mimic the water reflection. The set design and colour palettes blend perfectly with each look in this gorgeous music video!
