The inaugural Self Belief Trust gala dinner, held in honour of the late music mogul and SB.TV founder Jamal Edwards MBE, became a night of poignant remembrance and stellar glamour, headlined by music royalty Jessie J and Pixie Lott.
Held at a prestigious London venue, the event saw the two chart-topping singers embody sheer elegance. Jessie J commanded attention in a striking floor-length black satin gown, its dramatic train flowing behind her. The 'Price Tag' singer complemented the look with a sleek, high ponytail and a palette of neutral, sophisticated makeup.
Not to be outdone, Pixie Lott offered a vision of ethereal beauty in a delicate lilac satin dress. The former 'Voice Kids' coach styled her blonde locks in soft waves, letting the minimalist elegance of her outfit take centre stage.
The gala was far more than a fashion showcase; it was a powerful gathering of the UK creative community, united to celebrate the enduring legacy of Jamal Edwards. The visionary behind SB.TV passed away tragically in February 2022 at the age of 31.
The Self Belief Trust, launched by Jamal's mother, Brenda Edwards, continues his mission to empower young people from underserved backgrounds. The foundation provides crucial support, opportunities, and resources, focusing on mental health, entrepreneurship, and the creative arts.
They were joined by a host of famous faces who turned out to show their support, including reality TV star Vas J. Morgan, and music manager Jonathan Shalit OBE, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of Jamal's work and the high esteem in which he is held.
The evening served as a powerful testament to Jamal Edwards' life, channelling collective grief into a force for good. Through the continued work of the Self Belief Trust, his mantra of self-belief and his dedication to uplifting others will continue to inspire future generations.
