The Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards are on Thursday and the red carpet will be packed with local musicians and celebrities vying with each other in the fashion stakes.
Dressing for the music awards is about taking risks, embracing your "tribe" and, most importantly, attitude. I love this ensemble from Hideseekers, teaming a perforated leather jacket and shorts with its FlyGirl tank, which is all about hip-hop sensibilities. The electric blue jumpsuit from Andrea Moore ticks all the boxes, as does the radiant orchid suit from ITZME. For that rock'n'roll alternative edge, this outfit from Serpent & The Swan wins. The Altitude dress from taylor is on trend and, if you must wear a gown, make it one with a point of difference like WORLD's Marcello gown.
Check The Line Up for my selections in Accessory Essentials. These 80s-inspired sunglasses from Pared are the business, as are these killer heels from Diane Von Furstenberg. Complete your look with the ultra-fabulous Rika The Friendly Monster clutch.
Smashbox is the official makeup sponsor of the VNZMAs and hot from Los Angeles is this look, called Gold Rush, from its Global Pro Lead Artist Lori Taylor.
