Stars dazzle at fashion awards led by Demi Moore and Kate Beckinsale
Watch: Jonas, Moore hit red carpet at London Fashion Awards
A full galaxy of stars hit the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall last night for the British Fashion Awards 2021. The Brits put on a dazzling display, but it was the Hollywood A list who led the pack, with actors Demi Moore and Kate Beckinsale both wearing show-stopping fitted black and silver dresses.
Kate Beckinsale's stunning dress was by Sabina Bilenko couture. She wore the structured, body-con frock with Boucheron jewellery, including huge diamond drop earrings, which showed off her swept-up hair.
Also representing for the US were Kris Jenner and partner Corey Gamble, while the awards host, Broadway star Billy Porter, known for his astonishing bespoke looks, wore a Maleficent-inspired dogtooth check sequinned gown, with black patent platform boots, and Priyanka Chopra modelled a full Richard Quinn floral body-con jumpsuit with a matching floor length coat.

Both Kris Jenner and Georgia May Jagger opted for all-American red white and blue looks by Tommy Hilfiger.
Maya Jama's daring outfit was by Alexander McQueen, and featured large cut-outs at the waist.
The sporting world was also represented by Tom Daley, who looked sharp in a Christian Dior suit, and Maria Sharapova, in Iris van Herpen and Shaun Leane jewellery
Representing for the Brits were Serpent and Victoria actor Jenna Coleman in Grecian drapery, Billie Piper in floor length Alice in Wonderland-inspired ice-blue Vivienne Westwood, with silver platform Westwood shoes and white stockings, Dua Lipa in a floor-length black Maximilian dress and Tiffany jewellery, model Jourdan Dunn and Maya Jama, both in stunning scarlet dresses.
The awards were presented in partnership with TikTok and focussed on diversity and sustainability. The centrepiece was a tribute to designer Virgil Abloh, of LVMH, who died from cancer on Sunday.
Vogue’s editor, Edward Enninful, said “The shock of his passing is as fresh as it is devastating. As a leader of change, the impact of his work cannot be overstated.”

Kate Moss's model daughter, Lila Moss, wore Burberry, while also representing the next generation was Romeo Beckham with his girlfriend Mia Regan in Proenza Schouler.
Meanwhile, Jude Law and Sadie Frost's model daughter, Iris Law, wore a striking Game of Thrones- style dress with thigh length boots.
Normal People star Paul Mescal looked a new man in a gold brocade Gucci tuxedo and wing collar with a ribbon tie, while Demi Moore continued the tribute to Italian fashion in her Fendi dress, as did Lily Allen, who wore Fendi's icy lilac satin suit.
Kristin Scott Thomas also attended, looking deeply elegant in floor-sweeping black satin, while style influencer Alexa Chung channelled 1950s chic in a yellow chiffon dress by Caroline Hu and Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Perhaps most-worn designer of the evening was Award-winning Brit designer Richard Quinn, who dressed many of the red carpet attendees, despite having only graduated from Central St Martin's and launched his first collection in 2016.
Best dressed of the night, however, was suave male model David Gandy, who wore black tie topped with a navy wool coat - and was the only arrival dressed appropriately for the weather.
