The Independent Music New Zealand (IMNZ) Taite Music Prize is named after the late music journalist Dylan Taite and celebrates outstanding Aotearoa albums released during the previous calendar year. This year, 95bFM attended and took part in the Noir Carpet - hosted by our dear friend and Fashun contributor, Penelope Noir. We saw some incredible looks on the carpet and talked to attendees about their Item of Flair. Penelope will be giving the full run-down on all things Taite Music Prize 2024 fashion next week on bFM Breakfast, but for now, here are some of the pictures from the Noir Carpet at last night's awards!
A special 95bFM shoutout to Nick Atkinson, Independent Artist Representative from Recorded Music NZ for possibly the best outfit of the night, a 95bFM t-shirt.
