All Our Faves Just Served Major Looks on the Capital Summertime Ball 2025 Red Carpet
Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard 2025 wasn’t just about the vocals (although, hello—Mariah Carey and Jessie J on one lineup?!). The red carpet was its own show, and honestly, everyone brought it. From edgy mesh to playful plaids, the style moments were just as memorable as the performances.
Here’s a roundup of the looks we can’t stop thinking about:
Jade Thirlwall – Edgy Glam in Mesh & Thigh-Highs
Jade gave us high fashion with attitude. She stunned in a sheer black turtleneck mesh dress, perfectly paired with thigh-high boots and rectangular sunnies. Her compact black bag tied everything together—sleek, confident, and so effortlessly cool.
Want Jade’s balance of elegance and edge? Try Bauble’s 'Leona' Dress—a sleek piece that skims the frame with a subtle turtleneck and bold side accents. Pair it with sandals and a swipe of red lipstick to channel that same cool confidence.
Jessie J – Bold Beauty with Meaning
Jessie J turned heads in a black mesh bodycon dress, styled with wedge heels and something far more powerful—a gold ‘pinch’ brooch clipped to the side of her chest, referencing her current breast cancer journey. It was a reminder that fashion can be deeply personal and moving.
Statement accessories don’t always have to be flashy—they just need to feel meaningful. Bauble’s 'Suri' Necklace is a perfect example—it’s layered, silver-toned, and rich with tribal-inspired detail. It adds instant depth and presence to even the simplest look.
Zara Larsson – Color, Texture, Confidence
Zara stepped onto the carpet in a strapless midi dress made entirely of colorful belts. The structured chaos worked—and with platform heels and stacked bangles, the look was bold, playful, and totally her.
Unexpected textures and prints can bring new energy to classic shapes. Bauble’s 'Mardea' Dress is a perfect example—its bold floral print and body-hugging silhouette turn heads while still feeling timeless. Don’t be afraid to let your personality bloom through what you wear.
Reneé Rapp – Preppy Meets Street Cool
Reneé gave us a masterclass in mixing vibes. Her green and yellow zip-up jacket played off a plaid midi skirt and black knee-high boots. A chunky buckle belt, leather-look bag, and oversized shades completed the look, proving that prep and edge can absolutely coexist.
Mixing unexpected textures adds instant personality to any outfit. For an effortlessly polished look, try Bauble’s 'Aletta' Jumpsuit—its flowy white fabric and delicate beaded details strike that perfect balance between refined and relaxed. It’s a one-and-done piece that still makes a statement.
Final thoughts
From high-glam to heartfelt to full-on fashion fun, the red carpet at this year’s Capital Summertime Ball was a visual feast. Each artist brought something uniquely their own.
What made these looks truly unforgettable wasn’t just the fashion—it was the intention behind each choice. They reminded us that style isn’t about fitting into one box; it’s about finding what speaks to you.
So whether you're planning your next dinner party outfit or refreshing your wardrobe for the season ahead, let these women inspire you to dress with purpose, personality, and just the right dose of boldness.
