Emily Ratajkowski's wardrobe is brimming with little black dresses (just take a look at her sideboob-revealing high-low dress or lace-up leather minidress). It seems that her impeccable style has even influenced her friend and fellow industry peer, Rita Ora, to embrace sexy renditions of this classic piece. The two stars recently attended a party in London, showcasing their alluring takes on the iconic garment.
At the British Vogue x Self Portrait summer party held at Chiltern Firehouse, Ratajkowski mesmerized in a velvet gown adorned with daring midsection cutouts and adorned with gold and pearl cross embellishments. The dress featured a thigh-high leg slit and wide V-neck straps, perfectly complemented by her choice of black Jimmy Choo platform heels. She accessorized with bangles and gold diamond hoop earrings, while her hair was elegantly styled in a bun, with a few face-framing strands left loose. Her makeup exuded a bronzy smoky eye and a brown lip, a trendy look that BeautyTok has affectionately dubbed “latte makeup.”
Ora, who is no stranger to flaunting daring fashion choices, opted for a transparent bedazzled fishnet dress that fell just above her knee. The dress was layered over a matching bra and underwear set, creating an alluring ensemble. With bejewelled silver shoes, a stunning sculptural thorn choker, matching bracelets, and long metal earrings, she completed her ensemble. Her caramel-hued hair cascaded in natural curls, and her makeup showcased mauve eyeshadow, a precise winged liner, and soft beige lips.
The star-studded event, hosted by British Vogue Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful (who recently announced his departure from the position), attracted a bevy of notable attendees, including Leigh-Anne from Little Mix, Nadine Leopold, Eiza González, Adjoa Andoh from Bridgerton, Hari Nef, MJ Rodriguez, and many more. This annual soirée, organized by the publication and designer, aims to foster creativity within the industry.
