the british fashion awards

On Monday the 1st of December, the London Coliseum opened its doors to hundreds of stylish people at the annual British Fashion Award ceremony. There were 17 awards up for grabs and over 2,000 people in the crowd.

The red carpet was none other than a show-stopper. Pop-singer Rihanna - who was hailed a 'Fashion icon' last year by Anna Wintour - stunned in a Stella McCartney tuxedo with her hair slicked back into a high bun. Also on the red carpet was Rita Ora, who posed for a picture with Tom Ford, whom she was wearing. Kendall and Cara also made a glamorous appearance, with Kendall wearing a white jumpsuit, which seems to be a popular piece with the Jenner girl.

Alexa Chung also made an appearance wearing a silver maxi shirt dress with an adorable blue box bag. Ellie Goulding and Mollie King wowed in silver floor-length gowns and Mollie wore her hair slicked back, complemented by a red lipstick.

So what about the couples? Nicole Sherzinger wore a silver and red one shoulder dress by Julien Macdonald as she posed happily next to boyfriend Lewis Hamilton who matched, wearing a grey and red suit. One of the most talked about couples, the Beckhams, also made an appearance. Victoria stuck to her roots and kept her look very minimalist, as she wore a black box tee with black and white skirt which featured a gold chain. Naomi Campbell posed for a picture alongside Edward Enninful. The pair also wore black and white; Naomi wore a white fur shrug to complete her look. ▪
