Charli XCX brought her signature edge to the red carpet for the 2026 InStyle Imagemaker Awards. The singer joined stylist Chris Horan for the event, serving up a look InStyle described as “sexy rockstar meets office-core.” Her unconventional take on tailoring certainly lived up to the description.
Charli XCX shows ‘sexiest way to style a tie’ in braless look under leather blazer at InStyle Imagemaker Awards
For the occasion, Charli XCX went braless beneath an oversized black leather blazer.
The blazer featured sharp, exaggerated shoulders, a fitted waist, and an ultra-short hem that allowed the piece to double as a minidress.
With nothing underneath, the blazer’s plunging lapels created a dramatically low neckline. Charli then added an unexpected office-inspired element with a patterned cream-and-gold tie wrapped around her neck, left hanging down the center of her chest.
The singer kept the rest of her styling equally sleek. She slipped into sheer black tights and pointed-toe black pumps, while several chunky rings added some extra shine.
Her signature dark hair was worn long, straight, and center-parted. Oversized black sunglasses completed the rockstar aesthetic as Charli posed alongside Horan on the carpet.
