“The singer, 28, put on a daring display in a sheer chocolate dress on Thursday as she attended Moschino’s show during Milan Fashion Week. ”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The singer, 28, whose real name is Normani Kordei Hamilton, suffered an awkward wardrobe mishap in the risque dress which boasted pearl shoulder straps and a low neckline.
Normani flashed a glimpse of her underwear and ample cleavage as she added inches to her frame with a pair of white high heels.
She further accessorised her FROW look with a pair of silver diamond stacked hoop earrings and sported a pair of orange-tinted shades.
Normani styled her locks in a slick updo and elevated her natural beauty with a flawless palette of makeup.
Moschino’s Adrian Appiolaza presented his second womenswear collection for the house, after a well-received menswear show in June.
This collection was of utmost importance, as it was Appiolaza’s first full women’s show for Moschino.
For AW24, he was appointed just weeks before the show, following the passing of former creative director Davide Renne, so he didn’t have full creative control of the collection.
Normani, who was a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony from 2012-2018, previously discussed her latest album and the freedom she now feels as a solo artist after admitting she ‘felt like a token’ when she was a part of the pop girl group.
Speaking on going solo, Normani said: ‘Coming out of the group, I didn’t necessarily know who or what Normani even sounded like,
‘I needed some time to have life experiences, challenge myself in the studio and not be afraid.’
Normani, who had been training her whole life for a career in the music industry, also admitted joining a girl group at 16 brought some challenges.
She revealed: ‘I was the only Black girl, the only one that looked like me, which was a totally different experience from the other girls – and that’s not to take away from their experience, because I know what we went through collectively,’
‘We really did do the best with what was given to us under very unrealistic circumstances, but being the only Black girl in a very successful mainstream pop girl group, I definitely felt like a token. I don’t know if I was able to articulate that at the time.’
On her freedom as a solo artist, Normani added: ‘There’s a sense of freedom I have that I’ve been waiting for, a weight lifted – me just being able to be Normani, before I’m anything else.’
Elsewhere in her interview with Dazed Magazine, the Love Lies hitmaker spoke about how she dealt with both of her parents being diagnosed with cancer.
Admitting times were tough, Normani said: ‘When my parents got sick, I didn’t have the mental capacity to even try to be creative, but I pushed myself anyway.’
‘If it weren’t for them, I probably wouldn’t have, but I know it’s what got them through such a tough time – they needed to see me persevere and push through and continue to move forward.’
The star also discussed that she made an ‘oath’ to herself to ‘do things my way’ when an opportunity arose.
She revealed: ‘I know what it’s like to put out music that I don’t necessarily believe in. It hurts when I don’t feel like I’m able to be fully represented or when I have to stand behind something I don’t believe in, and I did that for so long.’
‘So I made an oath to myself that, when I got the opportunity, I was gonna do things my way, and be unapologetic about that.’
Normani released her debut studio album Dopamine in June.
It was a huge business move for the star because ever since Fifth Harmony went on Hiatus in 2018, Normani released only a handful of singles, many of them collaborations with artists like Khalid, Sam Smith, Megan Thee Stallion, and Cardi B.
Normani has 12.2 million monthly listeners, and her song ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ with Sam Smith has over a billion streams.
