Celebrities, singers and models alike have been flocking to the latest trend, this time by sporting PVC skirts and pants. Singer Alesha Dixon is no exception to the rule, and she certainly turned up for the premiere of a new celebrity dance show called Dance, Dance, Dance.
Dixon definitely knows how to make a big impact with her style. The 38-year-old singer took on an edgy look with her sleek PVC dress. With a strapless design, Dixon open for metallic accents, like a choker necklace, bangles and tons of arm candy. The best part about the PVC dress is the unique wet-look vibe, creating a reflective effect. Keeping in alignment with her theme, Dixon wore a pair of silver metallic heels. To amp up the volume, she went for a dark vampy lip and kept her hair loose around her shoulders.
On the show, former TOWIE starlet Jessica Wright had heads turning with her bold performance to Christina Aguilera’s single, “Dirrty”. Jessica dressed up just like Christina, wearing a pair of skintight PVC pants, complete with the words XTINA written down one leg. Wright nailed her performance, receiving a high score of a 24 for her wild antics.Jessica isn’t new to the stage by any means, being a former member of the girl band called Lola.
PVC isn’t new to the Kardashian family by any means, but It-girl Kylie Jenner also recreated Christina Aguilera’s signature look in the past. Christina was so excited, she posted a photo of her look on her Instagram. “YAASSSSS”…..Killin it @kyliejenner yes to dirrty 2016!! Get it girrrl!!!” Aguilera wrote to young Jenner in a social media post. With a slick, wet-look appearance, PVC continues to remain a hot trend for 2017.

There’s something about the combination of a strapless cut and that glossy material that makes the outfit feel both classic and futuristic at the same time.
Not surprised Dixon went for loose hair with such a structured dress, since it balances the harshness of vinyl and keeps it from looking too stiff.
That vampy lip choice really completes the look described here, giving the PVC dress more attitude instead of just relying on the shiny texture.
Alesha’s choice of silver metallic heels instead of black was a smart move, adding contrast and tying in with the rest of her accessories.
Interesting how the piece ties Dixon’s look to the wider PVC resurgence, especially with references to Kylie Jenner and Christina Aguilera keeping that Dirrty aesthetic alive years later.
Alesha Dixon’s strapless PVC dress really does lean into that wet-look trend the article talks about, and pairing it with silver heels and a choker made the whole outfit feel cohesive rather than overdone.
It’s interesting how the article frames PVC as both edgy and glamorous, especially when styled with jewelry and polished makeup like Dixon’s dark lip.
I liked the detail about the metallic accessories because without the choker and bangles, the black vinyl dress could have felt flat instead of edgy and intentional.
I appreciate that the article mentions the Kardashian connection because they’ve definitely helped push vinyl and latex back into mainstream fashion.
Jessica Wright writing XTINA down one leg feels like a bold detail that could easily look gimmicky, but it seems like she made it part of the performance.
The reference to her being 38 and still pulling off such a daring look shows how much confidence plays into making PVC work.
The wet-look description really paints a clear picture of how reflective the material is, which is probably why it photographs so well at premieres.
It’s cool that the article highlights how the reflective effect of PVC creates such a bold presence on red carpets, especially under bright lights at premieres.
The comparison to Kylie Jenner recreating Christina Aguilera’s look helps explain why PVC still feels current even though it’s been around for years.
The article does a good job explaining why PVC keeps coming back, especially with that wet-look sheen that instantly grabs attention at events like this.
The mention of Jessica Wright performing Dirrty in skintight PVC pants adds a fun throwback angle and shows how this trend keeps cycling back with slight updates.
I hadn’t realized Jessica Wright scored a 24 for that Dirrty performance, but it makes sense given how committed she sounded to the full PVC costume.
