The Art of Fashion

Florence Welch in Temperley London, Naeem Khan, Antonio Berardi and Emilio Pucci
Seriously. Talk about a singing diva! How many divine dresses does it take to make a diva? Let's refer to the great Florence Welch — three parts singing genius, one part style star. It really has been an exceptional year for her as she has forged ahead in both the singing and the style worlds, culminating in this performance of fashion fabulousness at the VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul event. Let's start with the cream beaded Antonio Berardi mullet dress that she wore to arrive on the red carpet. There is something about a polo neck and long sleeve that really works for Flo. Hate the hemline of course. Then there was the magnificent Emilio Pucci velvet and beaded cocktail dress with the scoop neck that was very different for her, as she usually wears long dresses to perform in. It was good but not great. What was great was the shimmering gold Naeem Khan beaded dress that she wore next. Stunning. Utterly sublime and perfection on her. Only to be outdone in my opinion by the elegance and sheer classiness of the black wrap tuxedo dress by Temperley London. Unbelievable and definitely my favourite.
Flo appeared on Tuesday night in another Naeem Khan number which was printed and flowing and 70s inspired. And all was right with the world.
