Charli XCX took an edgy approach to style for the 2023 Royal Academy of Arts Summer Preview Party in London today. The annual event raises funds to support Royal Academy Schools.
The “Hot In It” singer donned a sleeveless black midi dress embellished with Givenchy‘s logo allover. The piece featured a round neckline, mesh back paneling and a form-fitting skirt.
To further elevate her ensemble, Charli XCX accessorized with dark futuristic shades, a silver chain bracelet, and a sparkling pink triangle handbag. Committing to a sleek style moment, she styled her bone straight and opted for soft glam.
Finishing the “Backseat” artist’s look was the Givenchy Shark Lock boots. The slip-on shoes are crafted in smooth calfskin leather with an almond-shaped toe and covered 3.5 wedge heel.

Popularized in the ‘60 go-go era, knee-high boots leave the wearer’s knee exposed, but cover the calves. Often worn with skirts, the style is a wise choice in fall and winter for protecting the leg from the elements while still allowing the wearer to show some leg.
When it comes to fashion, Charli favors modern clothing that allows her to put her own spin on popular trends. She has also made a name for herself within the fashion industry by starring in campaigns for brands including Ray-Ban, Samsung, and Agent Provocateur. On the footwear front, the pop star gravitates towards strappy sandals, vibrant heels and Nike sneakers.
The hitmaker’s fashion choices are a reflection of her artistic vision, constantly evolving and pushing boundaries. She is known for her edgy and futuristic style and effortlessly uses bold colors, metallic fabrics, and avant-garde silhouettes to complete her outfits, with a nod to ’90s and early 2000s fashion. Her style is daring, rebellious, and influenced by both punk and pop culture.
