Darling of the Red Carpet Dazzles in Sheer Sensation
Presenter and rising fashion star Maya Jama captivated the crowd at Saturday night’s exclusive Warner Music and Ciroc Vodka Brit Awards after party in a show-stopping sheer black lace dress that left little to the imagination. The bold look from the 28-year-old Love Island host and new red carpet darling featured a plunging neckline with dramatic lace-up detailing at the bust, cutaway panels at the torso, and an open back, showcasing Jama’s enviable figure. Topping things off, she wore her hair low-key and loose, and kept accessories and makeup to a minimum – rocking a French pedicure on her toes and a pair of open-toed, high-heeled sandals.
Jama, known for taking fashion risks that pay off, worked this risqué LBD with ease and confidence, letting the dress take center stage. She complemented the layered lace fabric with understated hair and makeup, wearing her dark tresses down in soft waves and sporting a fresh-faced glow. A dramatic slit up one leg allowed Jama to highlight a pair of strappy black heels as she posed expertly for photographers with co-host AJ Odudu, trailing the long train behind her without a wardrobe malfunction in sight thanks to a dutiful assistant carrying the dramatic hem.
The sheer showstopper made a bold statement following Jama’s three head-turning outfits throughout her hosting duties for the Brit Awards ceremony the same evening. She opened the show in a one-shouldered velvet gown with a bubble hem, changing into an ethereal blush tiered tulle dress for presenting the Best New Artist award, and finally standing out in an electric blue latex column gown. But it was the after party look that had tongues wagging.
Jama has fast become a darling of the red carpet and the toast of the music and entertainment world with her keen fashion sense and host of high-profile appearances. Though sheer dresses have become commonplace among A-list stars, Jama proved her styling prowess by choosing one with unique lace-up accents and flattering cutouts, tailored perfectly to her signature curves. She joins the ranks of Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and Bella Hadid in pulling off sheer looks that drop jaws.
The risqué after party ensemble came following Jama’s breakout year hosting Simon Cowell’s music competition Walk the Line and making history as the first Black woman to host Love Island. With daring and delightful fashion choices, flawless hair and makeup, and lively presenting skills to match, it was a vibrant display from the star proving she is one to watch in the fashion and television landscape this year and beyond. She has style and substance – this MeVogue cover girl slays from head to toe.
