The MOBO Awards returned to London on 30 Nov. and it was most certainly a night to remember. For the first time in its 25-year history, the award for Best Album was a tie, with “Alpha Place” by Knucks, and “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert” by Little Simz both bagging the prize. This tops off a huge year for Little Simz who also won the Mercury Prize 2022 in October. While the annual ceremony, presented by Chunkz and Yung Filly, also crowned a number of other winners, including Central Cee as the Best Male Act, and Pink Pantheress as the Best Female Act, it was the red carpet that really deserved your attention. The selection of outfits worn by the attendees were a masterclass in red carpet dressing. Model Jourdan Dunn wowed in a slinky taupe halterneck dress by Bluma...

The MOBO Awards returned to celebrate music of Black origin on Wednesday, 9 Dec. at Exhibition London after a long three-year hiatus. Hosted by Maya Jama and Chunkz, Love and Compromise singer Mahalia took home most of the awards of the night, including Best Female Act and Best R&B/Soul Act — but it was the sexy outfits on the red carpet that we can’t stop thinking about. First things first — Leomie Anderson. The model graced the red carpet in a very revealing Jean Paul Gaultier sheer jumpsuit with autumnal leaves embroidered over Anderson’s intimate areas. Jourdan Dunn also brought the fire with a leopard-print, halter-neck, ’50s-inspired pin-up dress by Alaïa — so chic! Maya Jama went for a black leotard and chain-mail skirt by David Koma. Our favourite look of the ...
