The 2025 Fashion Awards transformed London's Royal Albert Hall into a glittering epicentre of style on Monday evening, where daring fashion statements were rivalled only by two stunning celebrity pregnancy announcements.
Red Carpet Revelations and Daring Displays
All eyes were on the arrivals, where Ellie Goulding and Sienna Miller stunned attendees by debuting their baby bumps. Ellie, 37, revealed her pregnancy in a chic black crop top and culottes, marking her first child with boyfriend Beau Minniear. Meanwhile, Sienna Miller, 42, nearly stole the show in a sheer lilac lace dress, announcing she is expecting her second child with partner Oli Green.
Later, the party moved to the exclusive Rosewood Chancery, where Rita Ora and husband Taika Waititi put on a loved-up display. The singer, 35, looked flawless in a plunging silver gown with a thigh-high split, arriving hand-in-hand with Waititi, who was sharp in a classic black tuxedo.
They were joined by FKA twigs (Tahliah Debrett Barnett), 37, who made a bold entrance in a completely sheer gown, worn braless. Other notable guests included Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa, Gene and Anais Gallagher, and former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.
Celebrating Fashion's Finest: The 2025 Winners
The ceremony, a highlight of the global fashion calendar, honoured leading designers and creatives. The prestigious Designer of the Year award was claimed by Jonathan Anderson for his work at Dior and JW Anderson.
Other key British winners included:
- British Womenswear Designer of the Year: Sarah Burton for Givenchy.
- British Menswear Designer of the Year: Grace Wales Bonner for Wales Bonner.
- The Vanguard Award: Dilara Fındıkoğlu.
- Cultural Innovator Award: Little Simz.
The event also presented Special Recognition Awards to Delphine Arnault and marked the 25th anniversary of Fashion East.
A Night of Glamour and Personal Milestones
Beyond the awards and fashion, the night was profoundly personal for some. Ellie Goulding's pregnancy news comes after she confirmed her romance with Minniear only in September 2024. Sienna Miller beamed alongside Green, with whom she already shares a young daughter.
First held in 1989, the Fashion Awards have become an unmissable fixture, celebrating household names and emerging talent alike. This year's event at the Royal Albert Hall perfectly blended high-fashion spectacle with heartfelt celebrity announcements, ensuring it will be remembered as much for its emotional moments as for its sartorial splendour.
