Jonathan Anderson has once again been crowned Designer of the Year at The Fashion Awards, marking his third consecutive win. Anderson recently took the helm at Dior following a successful run at Loewe, where he has served as creative director since 2013. Sarah Burton received the British Designer of the Year Award for Womenswear, continuing to elevate the Alexander McQueen brand after the founder’s passing. She famously designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress and took the reins at Givenchy last year. Grace Wales Bonner secured the British Designer of the Year Award for Menswear for the second year in a row, and a special recognition award was given to Chanel to commemorate a century of presence in the United Kingdom.
Baby News
Before diving into the red carpet looks, two blonde stars stole the show with some exciting personal news. Singer Ellie Goulding (38) and actress Sienna Miller (43) both revealed their baby bumps, instantly becoming the center of attention. Goulding opted for a crop top and low-rise shorts, while Miller stunned in a sheer, floor-length Givenchy gown that showcased feathered boots and lingerie. Goulding is expecting her second child with actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior, and the couple has been dating for several months. Miller is anticipating her third child with actor Oli Green, fifteen years her younger.
Fashion Kudos to the 50+ Crowd
And who deserved an award for best outfit of the night? Undoubtedly Sharon Stone, who chose a light-colored pantsuit from Italian luxury brand Brunello Cucinelli. A silk blouse peeked out from under the jacket, and the look was completed with a fur stole that revitalized the actress, making her appear far younger than her 67 years. Stone, fully covered, outshone many of the more daring younger attendees.
One of the most original creations of the evening came from Cate Blanchett. She opted for a black and white dress inspired by a tuxedo from the Givenchy Spring 2026 collection, accessorizing with simple silver earrings.
Rounding out the best-dressed women of the evening was Kylie Minogue, who shone in a simple white dress by JW Anderson, the brand of this year’s Designer of the Year. Minimalist, yet undeniably eye-catching – the cascading skirt added a touch of elegance and interest.
