This year’s awards ceremony, set for Monday December 2, will take place at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. The Fashion Awards, organised annually by the British Fashion Council, serve as the main fundraiser for the BFC Foundation. The event shines a light on the unique role fashion plays at the intersection of culture, creativity, and entertainment, showcasing some of the industry’s most influential figures and innovative designers. Pandora, the Copenhagen-based jewellery brand, is the headline sponsor for the evening, promising a sparkling red-carpet affair with plenty of their pieces on display.

H! Fashion’s own fashion and lifestyle writer, Lauren Ramsay, expressed her excitement for the upcoming ceremony, saying, "As excited as I am to see the sartorial display at the 2024 Fashion Awards, I’m equally as excited to see Maya present. Not only is she a serious style icon, but I can’t wait to witness her bubbly personality and infectious charisma in the flesh."
