Victoria Beckham last night made a teary acceptance speech as she was awarded the Best Designer Brand at the annual British Fashion award held at the Savoy Hotel. The former Spice Girl beat Tom Ford, Stella McCartney and Burberry to win the award.
No one can deny the struggle Posh has faced since turning her hand design, with the stereotype that comes with being a girl band member not to mention 'head WAG' no one deserved the award more than her. She wore a simple yet elegant black floor length, halter neck gown as she posed for pictures with close friend Marc Jacobs and gratefully thanked her family.
Other guest included Alexander McQueen successor Sarah Burton, who, not to anyone's surprise walked away with the award for Designer of the Year and Alexa Chung who, for the second year in a row, scooped the British Style Award - the only award voted for by the public.
Whilst they didn't win any award, Georgia May Jagger and Amber Le Bon stood out with their stunning detailed dresses in metallic colours which accented their perfect figures.
It may have been one of the most fashionable events of the years, two of arguably the most stylish women in the UK seemed to have sacked their stylists, given that their chosen outfits would have looked more at home on animals than the ladies themselves.
Kate Moss wore a full length fishnet dress, that she teamed with what appeared to be a gorilla fur jacket whilst WAG Abbey Crouch wore a tan suede studded dress that would look more at home on a camel.
Overall a great night for British Fashion, with Elle Magazine even tweeting they were to start a campaign to get VB to show her collections at London Fashion Week. Lets keep hoping shall we.
