At Britain’s inaugural Fashion Awards back in 1989, the guest of honour was the then Princess of Wales, who arrived wearing an extravagant white pearl-embellished gown and a matching bolero with an Elvis Presley-inspired collar by London-based designer Catherine Walker. As it turned out, Diana was setting the tone for three decades of Fashion Awards to follow, where the looks are frequently fabulous, often eccentric, and always interesting.
With Alexander McQueen’s outgoing creative director Sarah Burton in the running for the Designer Of the Year prize, and a special tribute to 91-year-old Valentino Garavani hosted in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the industry, the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall was an an emotional one. But first thing’s first: the red carpet. See all of the celebrity outfits on the red carpet at the Fashion Awards 2023, here.
