Model of the Year winner, Jourdan Dunn strikes a pose wearing a gorgeous Stella McCartney white strapless mini dress, with embroidered detail on the bodice. She wore her dress with thick black tights and studded heels.
The model beat Agyness Deyn and Lily Donaldson to this deserved title.
Alexa Chung teamed her boho Future Classics Spring 2009 babydoll with ankle boots, a skinny scarf and a Mulberry for Giles black patent clutch.
Alexa looks fab in this “I just threw it on” look.
Erin O’Connor, as you would expect, is beautifully dramatic wearing a black Vivienne Westwood taffeta gown, with at snake-skin tuxedo jacket from Topshop.
She completed her look with a black hat.
Oh how very British.
Pixie Geldof wore a grey woolly mammoth Mulberry Fall 2008 jacket over her black tuxedo jacket, chain-mail top and black leggings.
I really like this look, as it is very much her own, and she is not trying to be anyone else.
Rosamund Pike’s velvet blue cropped jacket really brings life to her navy Roksanda Ilincic dress with a rosette detail.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor teams her Chanel purse with a black Topshop dress, white tights and Mary Janes.
The singer is doing so well to conceal her baby bump.
Twiggy arrived on the red carpet with her daughter Laura.
The model icon wore a Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2008 sequined dress, with purple tights and a black tuxedo jacket.
We have seen Twiggy wear this dress many times before, but when she looks this great in it, who cares?
Yasmin Le Bon drapes a – hopefully faux fur – jacket over her shoulder, so we can see her burnt orange Halston Fall 2008 halter gown.
Emilia Fox as always is chic perfection, wearing a black dress with a black overlay and lace details on the hem.
I am not diggin’ Tamara Mellon’s bangs, but I do love her sequined coat, which she wears over her LBD. Her accessories are of course Jimmy Choo.
Is there a man fashion designer L’Wren Scott does not tower over? At 6ft 4in, and more in heels. I guess not.
The chic designer of course wore her own designs, opting for a body-contouring Fall 2008 metallic and lace dress, with a feathered hat to match.
Designer of the Year Luella Bartley, wore a purple cropped blazer and an asymmetric skirt with lace details from her own Spring 2009 collection.
TV presenter Mariella Frostrup wore this beautiful dark purple L’Wren Scott Fall 2008 shift dress with a embellished necklace.
She complimented her dress with gold peep-toes.
Claudia Schiffer wore a Forest green RM by Roland Mouret Anvers dress, with black pumps.
If it weren’t for the hat, I would not have recognised Roisin Murphy, who is posing here with Accessory Designer of the Year winner Rupert Sanderson.
That is because the singer usually wears something so cutting edge and loud, you can’t help but admire her.
This for Roisin is safe, and tame.
Model Jade Parfitt wears one of my favourite dresses from the Giles Fall 2008 collection. The dress was presented in black, but I much prefer this red version.
I just wish she had worn different shoes though.
Katie Grand, former editor of the hugely influential Pop magazine arrived with Giles Deacon wearing his Giles Spring 2009 space age silver front zipped pants, with a black top and a boa, which was also presented with most of the pieces from Giles Spring 2009 collection.
She is carrying the Prada sequin ombre clutch that is currently top of my wish list.
