Vick Hope Is Our Poster Girl For Festive Fashion, From Disco-Ball Dresses to Breastplates

29/11/2023 - 11:25 AM

There's no doubt that this year is a standout one for Vick Hope. As well as her regular BBC Radio 1 show's, "Going Home with Vick and Jordan" that she co-hosts with Jordan North, "Life Hacks", and "Official Chart: First Look", she hosted the Brit Awards nominations back in January alongside Jack Saunders, and hosted the BAFTAs red carpet in February. Oh, and she also married DJ Calvin Harris [1].

While her career is going from strength to strength — and her relationship appears to be in a sweet spot, too — she is quickly becoming our poster girl for standout style. We'd singled out the printed Dolce & Gabbana co-ord that she wore to the Chelsea Flower show [2] last summer, and there have been a whole host of looks since that have made their way onto our fashion moodboards.

One of the things we love most about Hope is that she's nailed high-low dressing. Mixing designer labels with high street brands like Superga and Missoma [3], her looks have an accessibility to them. She's even recently been named as the newest ambassador for jewellery brand, Pandora [4]. While her day job might be hosting the Drive Time slot on Radio 1, her wardrobe, often chosen in collaboration with her stylist Itunu Oke, deserves to be seen. There are a whole host of outfits covering casual outings, formal occasions, and everything in between ahead for you to get some fash-spiration for your own wardrobe.
