Rapper Eve goes hell for leather in shiny pink studded breastplate at Graduate Fashion Week

Game of groans: Rapper Eve goes hell for leather in shiny pink studded breastplate for appearance at Graduate Fashion Week 

For the most part, a picture tells a thousand words. 
But Eve managed to buck that trend when she posed for photographs wearing a bizarre two piece to the Graduate Fashion Week launch that left onlookers speechless. 
The American rapper, 34, arrived at London's Earl's Court 2 in a patent leather breastplate and skirt that looked like an origami lantern made from leather.
Look at me: Eve made sure she was noticed in her pink and nude coloured outfit, which featured a studded bodice

The outfit looked like it could have been designed with a Game Of Thrones convention in mind. 
Eve showed off her toned midriff in the cropped bodice and high-waisted skirt, but it looked like it may be a cumbersome outfit to sit down in.
    The sides of the knee length skirt featured twisted leather and buckles, and a thick panel along the hem restricted her movement.
    Wrist supports: Eve also wore some leather cuffs on her wrists, but it made her look like she had RSI

    Eve wore shoes in the same nude tone as her skirt, and also decided to coordinate her hands to her outfit with the addition of some cuffs. 
    To the eye of the non-fashionista, however, the cuffs looked like something you might wear as a support should you have repetitive strain injury from excessive typing. 
    It is safe to assume that Eve doesn't have a clerical side job that requires her to use a keyboard for more than eight hours a day, and that she was wearing the odd flesh coloured bracelets as jewellery.

    Thankfully Eve kept her hair and make-up simple, but did take the time to match her toenails to the pink colour that featured heavily in her outfit. 
    Also at the event were Henry Holland and Zara Martin, the TV presenter-slash-model who was linked to Russell Brand in March. 
    They looked smart and bland compared to outlandish Eve, quite a feat as both brunette Zara's dress and designer Henry's shirt were incredibly loud. 
    The red shirt featured a black and white gun motif, and Zara's frock featured a lime green crosshatching pattern.

    Lady Victoria Hervey, 36, made a welcome return to the London social scene when she was seen posing next to a pink structure.
    Wearing a slinky little black dress and sandals, she looked tanned and happy, and positively underdressed compared to Eve, Henry and Zara. 
    The famous faces were there to mingle with fashion graduates and their tutors, as well as lend their expert eye for judging and speaking to the audience of fashion and textiles graduates. 

    There was a chance to watch selected graduate collections on the catwalk, plus see winners of gala awards receive their prizes.
