The Fashion Awards were previously dubbed Britain’s answer to the Met Gala, with the creme de la creme of the industry descending on London for a night of celebrations.

In years past, names such as Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett have graced the red carpet, catching the eyes of guests and pH๏τographers alike with their glamorous gowns.

However, this year’s red carpet appears to be a far cry from the star-studded guest list that was once the envy of other events, with reality stars forming much of this year’s lineup.

Stars in attendance this year included singer Tallia Storm, who attempted to steal the spotlight in a form-fitting leopard print dress.

The radio star, always a fixture of red carpet events, risked getting her matching faux fur coat dirty as she dragged it behind her dramatically.

Also there was former Strictly professional AJ Pritchard, who packed on the PDA with his girlfriend Zara Zoffany as they posed for snaps together.

Love Island alumni Indiyah Polack was also spotted on the red carpet, dressed in an blue fringed dress.

The lineup was a far cry from the glitzy A-Listers who attended the event back in 2019, where alongside stars Cate and Julia, Mission Impossible frontman Tom Cruise was pictured inside the event.

Other big names who attended that year included Lily James, Stella Maxwell and Naomi Campbell.

The evening saw Tom Ford receive the award for Outstanding Achievement as he was presented the accolade by none other than Anna Wintour. 

Sharing his appreciation for London, the designer gushed in his speech: ‘I have lived in London longer than any other city. I moved to the Gucci design studio in the 90s and when I started my own label I chose to do it here.

‘There is so much life here, so much creativity, and so much of it is present here tonight. It is for me the most inspirational city in the world and I am so happy and so lucky to call it home.’

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan and American actress Kelly Rutherford took to the stage to award Simone Rocha with British womenswear designer for the year, while Grace Wales Bonner won British menswear designer of the year.

The award celebrates designers that take part in one of the BFC’s support initiatives which include Newgen, the Vogue and GQ Fashion Funds and the BFC Fashion Trust.

Elsewhere Myleene Klᴀss, 46, seemingly missed the dress code all together for the swanky bash and turned up in skimpy white H๏τ pants and a matching crop top

Laura Whitmore, 29, turned heads for all the wrong reasons 

Five years earlier, the Fashion Awards was considered one of the top events in the red carpet calendar, with stars including Lily James (left) and Naomi Watts (right) in attendance

Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise also made a surprise appearance at the ceremony in 2019

Opening the night, the pair were awarded the accolade by musicians Joe Jonas and Olivia Dean.

One Day star Ambika Mod presented Stephen Jones with the accessories designer of the year while trans model Alex Consani won model of the year.

Joking with the audience she said in her speech: ‘I am the first trans model to win this award,’ after she was presented with the accolade by model Ashley Graham and Baby Reindeer star Nava Mau.

She continued: ‘Now more than ever it’s an important conversation to be had, about how to support and uplift one another in this industry – especially those who have been made to feel insignificant. 

‘Because change is more than possible, it’s needed, and this is a step in the right direction.’

Elsewhere Moncler CEO Remo Ruffini won the Trailblazer Award for his contribution to the fashion industry. 

Finally Gucci received a special recognition award for its campaign ‘We Will Always Have London’, which was created by creative director Sabato De Sarno and pH๏τographer and activist Nan Goldin.

Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou and Margaret Barbour also received special recognition awards.
