Maya Jama and Jourdan Dunn led the glamour at this year’s MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards, held at Exhibition London in Shepherd’s Bush.
Broadcaster Maya, 26 – who fronted the show with YouTube sensation Chunkz, 24 – took centre stage in a chic tassel dress, while model Jourdan, 30, commanded attention in a leopard print gown.
Marking its first ceremony in three years, the socially-distanced event was filmed on Monday and aired on YouTube and BBC One two days later.
