A host of stylish celebrities were out in force for the Fashion Awards 2023.
Models, actors and industry insiders braved the rain as they took to the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall for the British Fashion Council’s annual event celebrating excellence in the fashion industry.
Talents including Burberry’s Daniel Lee, Loewe’s Jonathan Anderson and Sarah Burton (who recently left Alexander McQueen after 13 years at the helm) are battling it out for designer of the year, while actor Michaela Coel and popstar Sam Smith are being honoured for their cultural contributions.
Currently starring in Sunset Boulevard in London’s West End, Nicole Scherzinger had a rare night off to attend the awards.
Pop star Rita Ora wore a black custom gown co-designed with high street retailer Primark, with spiky silver detailing along her spine.
A limited-edition version of the dress is on sale in select Primark stores with proceeds going to Breast Cancer Now.
