There were lots of suits and sparkles at this year’s The Fashion Awards (aka the British Fashion Awards). While most of the suits were pretty streamlined, some of the gowns were pretty OTT boasting everything from feathers to big back bows. And the naked dress is alive and well over in London with Kendall Jenner wearing one of the most risqué looks of the night.
Kaia Gerber picked up her Model of the Year award in style, decked out in a glitzy Alexander McQueen dress-over-pants combo. And Meghan Markle looked supremely elegant in a black Givenchy gown fittingly as she presented the fashion house’s current artistic director, Clare Waight Keller, with the British Designer of the Year Womenswear honor.
