The New Year may very well prove to be the year of the British female superstar. In this edition of Bold Face, we feature three lady singers from the U.K. who are poised for big things stateside in 2015…

British singer and songwriter Charli XCX is featured on “Fancy” with Iggy Azalea, which brought her to international prominence. Released as the first single from the soundtrack album of The Fault in Our Stars, “Boom Clap” gave Charli XCX her first top 10 hit as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100. “Boom Clap” is also be featured on her second studio album, Sucker, which was released in the U.S. in December. Charli XCX is nominated for two Grammy Awards including Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Fancy”. The 57th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Feb. 8 on CBS.

Though she has her own album, Ora, British songstress Rita Ora has become the go to singer for hooks on many of today’s popular hits with other artists, including one with Iggy Azalea too! In fact, she and another of our Bold Face ladies, Charli XCX, have just dropped their own single together, “Doing It.” In addition to being a reliable collaborator, she is also quite the fashionista. She was snapped in LAX wearing a style right off the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2014 runway, the super stylish Dior So Real sunglasses from Safilo…

British vocalist Florence Welsh has been pretty quiet since her band, Florence + the Machine, hit it big in 2009 with Lungs and followed up that success with 2011’s Ceremonials. She was a fashion darling for a bit there as well and is still rocking some pretty enviable looks, like topping off this Gucci airport look with these round Ray-Ban 3447 sunglasses from Luxottica. The band has confirmed an upcoming album is nearly done and they have also been listed on the rosters of several of 2015’s biggest music festivals, including Way Out West in Sweden and Governor’s Ball in NYC.
