Leigh-Anne Pinnock turned Manchester Pride into a glitter-drenched holiday fever dream—her candy-cane couture and red mic punch delivering pure pop theatre.
Leave it to Leigh-Anne Pinnock to make Christmas come early—and louder. At Manchester Pride 2025, she stormed the stage in a look that fused festive fantasy with unapologetic pop bravado. The crowd? Electrified. The outfit? Unmissable. The mood? Somewhere between Mariah Carey’s December closet and a rave in Santa’s workshop.
Pinnock’s performance wasn’t just a set—it was a spectacle. Dressed in a red halter top and matching shorts trimmed with green accents and white faux fur, she looked like a glam-rock elf who’d escaped the North Pole with a mission: to slay. The red microphone in her hand wasn’t just a tool—it was a prop, a punctuation mark, a statement.
The costume leaned heavily into holiday iconography, but with a twist. The halter top, cut to flatter and move, shimmered under the stage lights thanks to embedded rhinestones and body glitter. The shorts—high-waisted, snug, and trimmed in faux fur—added a playful edge, while jagged white detailing (reminiscent of stylized teeth or icicles) gave the look bite. It was festive, yes—but also fierce.

Never one to play it safe, Nneka Onuorah fused red carpet formality with avant-garde geometry—her white-and-black suit cutting through the noise like a manifesto.
At the 7th Annual AAFCA TV Honors in Los Angeles, Nneka Onuorah didn’t just arrive—she made a statement. In a sea of gowns and glitter, her sharply tailored white suit with black geometric accents felt like a visual mic drop. It was fashion with a thesis: bold, intentional, and unapologetically cerebral.
The red carpet is often a place for sparkle and softness. Onuorah chose structure and contrast. Her suit—crisp white with jet-black angular detailing—read like a blueprint for modern power dressing. The black tie added a touch of classicism, but the overall silhouette was anything but traditional.
The jacket featured bold black shapes that sliced across the torso and shoulders, creating a dynamic tension between symmetry and disruption. The tailoring was razor-sharp, with clean lapels and a slightly boxy cut that nodded to menswear while remaining distinctly sculptural. The fabric appeared to be a matte crepe or suiting wool—structured enough to hold shape, soft enough to move.
Rita Ora lit up CarFest with a rhinestone riot—her cut-out black ensemble and fiery stage presence proving that pop spectacle still has teeth.
When Rita Ora takes the stage, subtlety isn’t on the setlist. At CarFest 2025 in Hampshire, she delivered a performance that was equal parts sonic and sartorial combustion. Drenched in red-orange light and backed by a screen flashing surreal monochrome imagery, Ora didn’t just sing—she commanded, she provoked, she performed like the stage owed her something.
The outfit alone could’ve headlined. A black, form-fitting bodysuit punctuated with silver studs and rhinestones, it shimmered like armor under the heat of the lights. Cut-outs around the waist and hips added a dose of skin—strategic, not gratuitous—while a cinched belt gave the look structure and edge. It was part dominatrix, part disco queen, and entirely Rita.
The fabric, likely a stretch mesh or spandex blend, hugged her frame with precision. The silver embellishments caught the light with every movement, creating a strobe-like effect that blurred the line between costume and kinetic sculpture. The cut-outs weren’t just decorative—they were architectural, carving space into the silhouette and allowing the look to breathe amid the intensity.
Minimal jewelry let the outfit speak. The microphone—sleek, black, and almost an extension of her hand—became the accessory of choice. Her long, curly hair cascaded down her back, catching the light like a second layer of sparkle. No earrings, no necklace—just attitude.
In an era where festival fashion often leans boho or normcore, Ora’s look was a throwback to pop maximalism—think early Gaga meets Beyoncé’s “I Am… Sasha Fierce” era. It was unapologetic, theatrical, and refreshingly anti-minimalist.
Hair, makeup, and mood were locked in. Her makeup featured bold liner, bronzed cheeks, and a nude lip—just enough polish to balance the outfit’s aggression. The curls added softness, a counterpoint to the studded bodysuit. The overall vibe? High-voltage glamour with a pulse.
