When it comes to mastering the “edgy-glam” aesthetic, Ellie Goulding’s November 27, 2015, appearance at Rosewood London remains a masterclass in textures.
Captured following a performance on TFI Friday, the artist’s look balanced the sheer fabric trends of the mid-2010s with rugged, structured footwear.

Central to the ensemble was a sheer black mini dress featuring intricate star embroidery.
Layered over a laced slip and micro-shorts, the frock highlighted a bold, leg-lengthening silhouette that bridged the gap between red-carpet daring and after-party cool.

Ellie appeared braless underneath the long-sleeved thigh-skimming frock, which flaunted her legs and back as well as a hint of her pert derriere, which was covered in tiny shorts.

The starlet wore minimal accessories — including a pair of black booties — and finished off her look with a messy updo and glam makeup, including shimmering eye shadow and pink lipstick.

While the exact designer remains unconfirmed, Ellie’s black ankle boots stand out for their woven side detailing, discreet inner zippers, and sturdy four-inch stacked block heels that add both height and structure to the sheer, star-embroidered look.
