The biggest music event of the year, the Vodafone Music Awards, is on this week so now is the perfect time to channel your favourite muso with a smoking hot, red-carpet look. The Music Awards are all about rock'n'roll glamour with an edgy twist. Throw in as much sass and attitude as you dare to make a no-holds-barred statement.
Push the boundaries and get a little crazy. Think sexy cut-outs, embellishments and wild-at-heart ensembles designed to impress. Here's my list for some inspiration:
Trip the light fantastic in Sass and Bide's Glass Wings dress. The fitted sheath has revealing side cut-outs and a lace overlay. Add some too-cool-for-school statement jewellery for maximum impact.
You can't beat a bit of chain mail to up the ante at any event. I love this luxe Topshop bodycon metallic Chain Mail dress. Pair with killer accessories and slay them.
If you've got it, flaunt it with Alice McCall's cheeky Keep Me There lace playsuit with oversized kimono sleeves and a sexy, deep shoulder reveal. Team with some rock-inspired accessories and make the A-Listers green with envy.
Shona Joy's Ambrosia backless maxi dress has it all: lace, cut-outs and sheer panelling. This statement dress is a sassy nod to former rock chick and supermodel Stephanie Seymour's style.
Be inspired by fashion's ultimate muse, Kate Moss, in Rolla's Eastern long-sleeve mini dress. The batik boho print and stand-out colour make it a perfect choice.
Stolen Girlfriends Club Heavy Petal ballerina dress will set you apart from the rest. Team this moody floral with leather and metallic accessories and you'll win in the style stakes.
Who doesn't love an all-black outfit? Unleash your closet Goth in Zambesi's sequined halter-top, trouser and spinnaker scarf.
