Patrice Roberts commanded the spotlight at the Caribbean Music Awards on Thursday night, where the soca powerhouse turned heads with a daring, architectural gown that fused Caribbean flair with high-fashion polish.
For the red carpet, Roberts wore a sharply tailored pinstripe gown by Trinbagonian designer Daniel Clarke of Fluorescent Black. The striking piece married structure and sensuality, featuring a body-con fit that sculpted her silhouette, a dramatic oversized collar, and trumpet sleeves that fanned out with theatrical precision. A fluted skirt added movement and balance to the ensemble, lending the look both gravitas and elegance.
Roberts’ choice spotlighted Clarke’s ability to blend contemporary tailoring with bold, avant-garde shapes—a clear nod to the designer’s growing influence in Caribbean couture. Her styling stayed true to her signature star quality, proving once again that she knows how to command a stage long before the music even begins.
The Caribbean Music Awards, now firmly cemented as a showcase for regional artistry and cultural pride, offered Roberts the perfect platform to double as both performer and fashion muse. With her latest sartorial statement, she underscored her place not just as a soca icon, but as one of the Caribbean’s most consistently stylish risk-takers.
At this year’s ceremony, hosted at King’s Theatre in Brooklyn, Roberts won Best Female Soca Artist of the Year.
