MOBOs 2020: Leomie Anderson wows in a SHEER jumpsuit

Leomie Anderson left little to the imagination at the 2020 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards, held at Exhibition London in Shepherd’s Bush. 

The Victoria’s Secret Angel, 27, looked incredible as she displayed her svelte figure in a sheer jumpsuit. 

Leomie protected her modesty with strategically placed embroidered metallic leaves with the item of clothing showcasing her washboard abs.

The stunning model oozed glamour with a pair of black barely-there heeled sandals and a collection of dazzling silver jewellery, which included a statement earring.

Leomie styled her brunette locks into a sleek sweptback straightened hairdo and she added a slick of glamorous make-up to enhance her beauty.

The Victoria’s Secret model knew how to work her best angles as she posed up a storm on the socially-distanced red carpet. 

Marking the show’s first ceremony in three years, the virtual event was filmed on Monday and aired on YouTube and BBC One two days later. 

Also attending the awards were Maya Jama and Jourdan Dunn who both oozed glamour on the socially-distanced red carpet. 

Winners included Nines, who scooped up Album of The Year and Best Hip Hop Act gongs, Mahalia who won Best Female Act (in association with I Saw It First) and Best R&B/Soul Act, with Headie One winning Best Male Act. 

While the virtual event featured performances from Headie One, H.E.R., Ms Banks, Tiwa Savage, Davido, Stylo G, Kojey Radical, Young T & Bugsey, Tiana Major9 and Shaybo. 

Created by founder Kanya King, the MOBO Awards were first held in 1996 and have been broadcast on a variety of channels over the years including BBC One, ITV2 and Channel 5. 

In 2018, the MOBO Organisation announced the ceremony would take a one-year hiatus, before producers revealed they were planning to hold a ‘bigger, revamped show’ this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

The show returned to BBC One this year and aired at 10:45pm, after the ceremony was live streamed on YouTube earlier in the evening.  

On the significance of representing black culture in the music industry, TV and radio star Maya said on Tuesday’s edition of The One Show: ‘It’s so important.

‘For a long time they were the only award show in the UK that was celebrating and championing black culture.

‘MOBOs have been doing that for the longest. I think it’s more important than ever for them to be back.

‘We’ve had such a horrible year and so many sad things going on, it’s nice to have something that celebrates the positives.’
