FKA Twigs delivered one of the most talked-about looks at the Fashion Awards 2025. On Monday, she stepped onto the Royal Albert Hall carpet in a sheer Paolo Carzana creation that instantly caught everyone’s attention. The avant-garde pop star, known for her boundary-pushing aesthetic, embraced full ethereality for the evening. And if the dress didn’t stop the crowd in its tracks, the surreal accessory she carried certainly did.
FKA Twigs’ Paolo Carzana dress is completely sheer at Fashion Awards 2025
London’s fashion crowd didn’t have to wait long for the night’s most daring moment. When FKA Twigs arrived at the Fashion Awards, hosted by the British Fashion Council, the atmosphere shifted. Her Paolo Carzana dress, an almost weightless sheer piece in a pale, weathered gold tone, floated around her as she moved.
With its raw edges, deconstructed seams, and asymmetric hemline trailing behind her, the dress looked less like a garment and more like something conjured from a dream. The sheer fabric revealed an intentional play between opacity and exposure. This is characteristic of Carzana’s signature blend of fragility and rebellion.
The long sleeves appeared distressed in places, adding to the handcrafted, almost ancient quality of the look. Despite the transparency, FKA Twigs carried the piece with total control, treating the sheer dress’s vulnerability as a kind of armor.
Her accessories, however, took the look into even more surreal territory. Clutched in her hand was a sculptural, rope-like accessory twisted into a bulky coil and finished with what appeared to be a carved or fabric-wrapped pendant. The piece felt like an artifact, perhaps a whimsical prop that added narrative depth to the ensemble. Nonetheless, the choice was bold, unexpected, and unmistakably Twigs.
She grounded the ethereal dress with towering taupe platform heels, their thick shape giving her silhouette an editorial lift. The shoes added a touch of 1920s-meets-cyberpunk drama, balancing the delicacy of the dress with something sturdier.
Meanwhile, her beauty choices leaned into soft intensity. Her braided hair was pulled tightly back from her face, revealing sculpted cheekbones and a neutral lip. The makeup palette stayed fresh and understated, which allowed the dress and accessories to dominate the moment.
Her appearance follows a strong fashion moment just last month, when she attended the Rolling Stone UK Awards in a sharply tailored McQueen Spring 2026 leather ensemble to collect The Album Award for “Eusexua.”
Her Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025 look delivered a tougher, more armored energy. In contrast, her Fashion Awards appearance embraced vulnerability and fluidity, but still with that uncompromising FKA Twigs edge.
