Tilda Swinton and FKA Twigs lead statement-making style at the Fashion Awards

Ashion’s finest hit the red carpet at London’s Royal Albert Hall this year Fashion awards.

Bella Hadid and Lil Moss are some of the big names vying for the Model of the Year award, with JW Anderson and Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli vying for the top designer and stylist and creative director Kate Grand ready to receive the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator.

Before awards could be handed out, the red carpet was turned into a catwalk by some of fashion’s biggest names…

Celebrities often stand up for emerging designers at the Fashion Awards, and Rita Ora did so in a sassy red outfit by fellow Albanian Nensi Dojaka.

The singer had alien prosthetics on her face, worn with red lingerie and a transparent sheath over it.

Tilda Swinton is never one to shy away from making a statement about her clothes and for the event she chose to wear an outfit by experimental London designer Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY. Soon, a graphic, colorful coat was stripped off to reveal a slightly more understated blue dress with dramatic cap sleeves.

FKA Twigs wore avant-garde designer Rick Owens to walk the red carpet — and she was probably a bit hotter than many of the other attendees, as her weathered gray dress was topped off with a black puffer jacket.

Florence Pugh walked the red carpet in a red backless dress and flowing skirt by Valentino, accompanied by the brand’s creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Lily James went for an angelic look with her look, she wore a white tulle dress by Rodarte with silver embellishments.

A familiar face at the Fashion Awards, Naomi Campbell got into the festive spirit in a silver sparkly dress with cape details, also by Valentino.

Simone Ashley shone in glitter – a silvery-lilac long-sleeved hooded dress from a brand known for its disco-inspired fashion: 16Arlington.

Irina Shayk had a darker take on festive sparkles with her strapless dress — take a look at the high street for this design from H&M.

Winnie Harlow had a couture moment on the red carpet in a 3D dress by Dutch designer Iris van Herpen. Known as the ‘Magnum Vegan Dress’, it is said to be the first haute couture vegan dress made from cocoa beans.

Gothic glamor was a big theme on the red carpet – Rosie Huntington-Whitely modeled a teeny silver and black Valentino dress with long sleeves, a high neck and slicked back hair.

Lila Moss had a sexy take on Goth glamour, wearing a sheer all-black Knwls ensemble.

Supermodel Erin O’Connor brought a little dark romance to the red carpet in an ethereal Erdem gown of white and black tulle.

Maya Jama will hit our screens next year as the new host of Love Island and she made a splash on the red carpet in a retro-inspired all-black look from Sabina Bilenko Couture, complete with a cheery hat and geometric jewelry.

“I’ve never worn a hat before, so I thought why not wear a hat,” the presenter said of her look.

This year’s Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu made her red carpet debut in an old Hollywood-inspired look, wearing a nude dress embellished with colorful beading and a furry stole.

Ashley Graham wore an ethereal light blue dress by Patrick McDowell — a designer known for his eco credentials — and said of her outfit on the red carpet, “It’s fussy, but it’s worth it.”

It was a family affair for Amanda Holden, who walked the red carpet in a form-fitting red dress by Nicolas Jebran, accompanied by her model daughter Alexa Louise Florence Hughes, who was in a Gothic-inspired black outfit by Sylvio Giardina.

“‘Wednesday’ vibes on a Monday,” Holden wrote of her daughter’s look on Instagram.

The fact that it’s December in London shouldn’t stop Elsa Hosk from showing some skin, with the model stepping out in a trendy Miu Miu look of a belted bralette and long skirt.
