The theme of this year’s event was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”. The term, “Camp,” basically means stepping outside of the box of what society normally expects.

In my opinion though, I think this year, the celebrities didn’t go all out with their looks unlike previous years. Some of them actually came through and some snatched our edges while at it!

See below our favorite looks from the event.

Zendaya was a modern day edgy Cinderella in this flourescent Tommy Hilfiger dress. Super retro, love it!

Ciara came through dripping like the queen that she is in this gorgeous emerald dress designed by Peter Dundas. Gosh look at those abs of steel! *drops doughnut*

We think Ava Duvernay played safe but she looks hella gorgeous in this eye-catching green gown by Prada.

Billy “OMG” Porter came for our edges again last night with this golden fit by The Blonds.

Danai Gurira just never disappoints! She looks gorgeous in this outfit by Gabriela Hearst.

Dwayne Wade came through looking like gangsta royalty in this custom sparkling Dundas fit.

Yasssss Janelle! She looked absolutely picturesque in this ensemble by Christian Siriano.

Jourdan Dunn showed up on the red carpet looking like a rose flower in this design by Zac Posen. We love it!

Okay Lewis Hamilton! Go ahead with your bad self in this metallic zig-zag suit that we can’t really describe.

Lilly Singh came looked seriously enchanting in this purple ombre dress by Jeremy Scottgown.

Lupita Nyong’o never fails to disappoint and yet again, she proves that she is one of Hollywood’s finest fashionistas in this Prada dress.

Michael B. Jordan‘s Coach 1941 suit was fit for a superhero

Naomi Campbell looked stunning as always in this Pier Paolo Piccioli for Valentino Haute Couture dress.

Regina Hall showed off her toned legs in this gold, black and cream dress created by Gucci. #BlackDon’tCrack y’all!

Tracee Ellis Ross looked like a work of art in this dress by Jeremy Scott.

From our very own Davido, bagging the award for the Best International Act, to all our favourite Black celebs being honored for their work, it was beauty and wins all around. Some of the night’s other winners included: Yara Shahidi, Beyonce, Serena Williams, Cardi B (who bagged two awards okurrr), Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar who took home the Album of the year with D.A.M.N…. just to name a few.

Our girl, Tiffany Haddish also took home the best actress award. You know she’s always ready. We love it when black excellence gets rewarded. Yass!

]]> Girls Like You: The New Maroon 5 Single that Features all the Women we Love https://queenmoremi.com/2018/05/girls-like-you-the-new-maroon-5-single-that-features-all-the-women-we-love/ Thu, 31 May 2018 14:24:00 +0000 http://queenmoremi.com/?p=1698 Music seems to be evolving with the times as the concept of women empowerment appears to be seeping into various sectors and spheres; it only makes sense that it starts…]]> Music seems to be evolving with the times as the concept of women empowerment appears to be seeping into various sectors and spheres; it only makes sense that it starts to become more prominent in the arts.

Maroon 5 have just released a new single entitled: Girls Like You and it features all our female power-house faves from Jennifer Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, Mary J Blige, Camila Cabello, Gal Gadot, Ellen Degeneres and so many others. We can’t help but recognise how the message behind the video seems to be so in tow with the celebration of women from all fields, as it also seems as though the women selected are all iconic in their own right, including names that might not be prevalent on the red carpet such as: Tech entrepreneur and author, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh; activist and writer, Angy Rivera; as well as Politician, Ilhan Omar. It is such a beautiful thing that women all over the world are gaining recognition and are being celebrated for their vast accomplishments.

Maroon 5 lead singer, Adam Levine, who is also TV co-host on the hit music competition, The Voice, can be seen in the video singing with a microphone in hand, while the ladies dance and mouth the lyrics as they appear in several rotations behind him.

Rapper and mama-to-be, Cardi B, also features as she does a rap number on the track (can we give it up to this woman for being so hardworking though?). The music video then ends with an emotional moment, as Levine’s South African model wife, Behati Prinsloo, holds their baby as he embraces her.

We love a beautiful tune with an empowering message behind it.

I can’t seem to get over women taking over the world!
