Tems Stunned in Bold Blue as She Accepted the Diamond Award at Billboard’s Global Power Players Night

Tems walked into the room, picked up the Diamond Award, and reminded us—yet again—why she’s in a league of her own. At the first-ever Billboard Global Power Players event held in London, the Nigerian singer-songwriter was honoured for her cultural and musical impact on the global stage. But before she took the mic to thank literally the world, she did what Tems always does first: she wore the moment. Tems stepped out in a blue mini dress that whispered “effortless” but screamed “icon.” The off-the-shoulder number featured delicate ruching and a single braided detail running down the front—a subtle flex of texture and structure. Paired with soft waves, understated glam, and minimal gold jewellery, the look said everything without saying too much. It wasn’t just a red carpet win—it was a style thesis. One that said: you don’t need to overdo it when your presence already carries weight. After being introduced by Nkosiyati Khumalo, Billboard Africa’s incoming editor, Tems delivered a speech that hit all the right notes. She acknowledged not just the honour of receiving the Diamond Award, but the significance of the moment for African music. “Being African and a musician is a whole new world,” she said. “This has been a really great honour, especially given that African music is moving to heights that have never been seen before, and Billboard is one of the key players in moving that needle forward.” While the Billboard Global Power Players event was packed with influential names from across the music industry, Tems was undeniably the moment. With this Diamond Award, she joins a rare class of global creatives who are not just riding the wave of African music’s rise—but shaping it.

Margaret Qualley Just Floored Us with the Most Exquisite Chanel Gown at Cannes

It is a truth universally acknowledged (at least here at La Mode UK) that Margaret Qualley wouldn’t know a sartorial misstep if it hit her squarely in the face. What’s more, The Substance actor never shies away from a truly daring styling moment – and, yes, somehow her unwavering commitment to originality always seems to pay off. Whether she’s rocking a bold fur, a striking print, or an impossibly tiny miniskirt, there truly is no garment she won’t make her own. Perhaps it’s her former life as a dancer, imbuing every look with that signature, effortless elegance. And what, we ask, could be more elegant than an ethereal, utterly luxurious Chanel number? Precisely. This past weekend, Qualley graced the Cannes Film Festival to present her latest film, Honey, Don’t! – and, naturally, she turned to her trusty Chanel. For this occasion, she captivated us all in a sublime nude gown crafted from a flowing silk fabric, featuring a delicate sweetheart neckline adorned with a charming flower appliqué at the centre. This divine creation, we discovered, was directly inspired by the Spring 1990 Chanel archives. A stroke of genius, if we do say so ourselves. But here’s the kicker, the detail that truly elevated this look from stunning to iconic: she paired it with a pair of simple ballet flats. Perfection! It’s that unexpected, playful twist that defines Qualley’s style. A long-time ambassador for the iconic French fashion house, Margaret Qualley consistently injects a unique touch of romance and whimsy into her Chanel ensembles. Just cast your mind back to her glamorous backless number at the Oscars, or those utterly dreamy swan sandals. She understands that true chicness isn’t about rigid rules, but about an innate sense of self – and she, darling, has it in spades.
