The 2025 Fashion Awards once again proved why London remains fashion’s most experimental,
daring, and culturally charged capital. This year’s blue carpet was a blend of theatrical couture,
intelligent minimalism, subversive silhouettes, and unapologetic glamour. From models and
musicians to designers and actors, the night served looks that reminded the industry what true
fashion storytelling means.
Here is our official Best Dressed list:
Anita delivered high-octane glamour with the confidence that only a true global star can pull off.
Her gown: fluid, liquid-metal satin with a plunging architectural neckline — captured the
movement of light with every step. The look was sensual without being loud, demonstrating a
mastery of red-carpet elegance rooted in precision and body-conscious tailoring. As she told Voir,
her look was courtesy of H&M.
Alex Consani
Alex Consani proved once again why she is the fashion world’s new obsession. Her look blended a
femme-fatale aesthetic with classic couture codes: a razor-sharp corseted bodice paired with
sculptural draped fabric. Alex was wearing nothing other than McQueen, which felt like the perfect
blend between an old master and the young Gen Z energy.
Ashley Graham
Ashley brought glamorous body architecture to the BFA carpet. Her bright personality matched
perfectly with her yellow gown by Feben. Her styling was clean, hair slicked and parted, letting the
gown’s silhouette do all the talking: her attitude as confident as always.
Paloma Elsesser
MiuMiu is nothing but the perfect choice for Elsser’s gown as it embodies the modern energy she
represents within the industry. Her polka-dot gown is a subtle nod of acknowledgment to internet
culture who has been obsessed with the trend since this past summer. It was sophisticated yet
ground-breaking, and undoubtedly bold.
Colman Domingo
The host of the night, Colman Domingo, delivered the strongest menswear moment of the entire
event. His tailored suit: double-breasted, sharply peaked lapels, and a rich jewel-tone palette,
introduced masculine elegance with a theatrical undertone. Colman understands fashion as
performance, and his presence set the tone for the night. He told Voir that “he wanted to feel sexy,
whatever that means for the night”, and Burberry definitely helped him achieve it. The Boucheron
pieces were certainly a touch of magic that elevated the look.
Anok Yai
A vision, a force, and the undisputed star of the blue carpet. Anok’s custom Dilara Findikoglu gown
was the definition of modern couture: ivory satin, corseted structure, and a mermaid silhouette that
felt both angelic and dangerous. The gown’s lingerie-inspired construction echoed the intimacy and
precision of Dilara’s world. It was the night’s most photographed look, and rightfully so.
Dilara Findikoglu
Designer Dilara Findikoglu arrived embodying her own aesthetic universe. Instead of playing safe,
she wore an ensemble that merged dark romanticism with historical reference. A beautiful reimagined corset embellished with cherry-like pieces that reminded everyone she was the
mastermind behind the label. A designer who dresses herself in her own language is rare, and
Findikoglu did so with conviction.
FKA twigs
FKA twigs was dressed by Welsh designer Paolo Carzana. Her outfit was authentic not only in style
but in historical significance. A true modern ode to Shakespearean, to celebrate British fashion.
Twigs never dresses for approval; she dresses to expand the idea of what red carpet dressing can be.
The look was ethereal, erotic, and intellectually disruptive.
Nina Dobrev
Nina brought high-gloss polish to the evening, choosing a sleek, minimalist white suit by Carolina
Herrera. Dobrev’s styling leaned toward European glamour: understated hair, bold neckline, and
immaculate tailoring.
Amelia Gray
Amelia Gray’s look represented the new wave of model-off-duty glamour. She wore a sheer, bodyskimming dress layered with a fur coat for a texture contrast. Her outfit served as a platform to
launch the new collaboration by Stella McCartney x H&M. Amelia has mastered the art of looking
both effortless and editorial, and this night was no exception.
Ellie Goulding
Ellie stepped out in a subtle yet striking laid-back look by Willy Chavarria. With baggy pants and a
fashionable crop top, she represented effortless elegance. Herr looked fresh, refined, and timeless,
the kind of dress that leaves a lasting impression.
This year’s Fashion Awards were defined not by one trend but by a dialogue between extremes:
structure vs. fluidity, minimalism vs. maximalism, softness vs. rebellion. The celebrities listed
above, every single one of them, contributed to making this year’s carpet one of the most visually
compelling in recent memory and a true homage to British fashion.
