Fashion Awards 2025: Ellie Goulding makes a statement while Kylie Minogue and Sienna Miller strip it back

Stars sported silk, mesh and monochrome at the 2025 Fashion Awards in London.

The Love Me Like You Do singer wore a cropped top paired with oversized, pleated capri pants and a sweeping trench worn loose over the shoulders.

Paired with sharp black stilettos and a chunky cross pendant, it was arguably a relaxed yet refreshing approach to maternity wear. Goulding has one son Arthur, four, from her previous marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling.

Kylie Minogue channelled boho-chic in a white asymmetric-hem camisole top and skirt by Loewe and strappy heels by Gianvito Rossi.

The West End Girl singer had a sweeping bustle train and a lace panelling on the chest and back.

First staged in 1989 and known as the British Fashion Awards until its 2016 rebrand, the Fashion Awards has continued to evolve in both title and tone.

This year’s carpet opted for an unexpected shade of blue, prompting speculation ranging from a wink to David Lynch’s Blue Velvet to the more practical matter of disguising London grime – though no-one, it seems, can quite explain the switch from red.

The move mirrors the Met Gala’s own flirtation with a blue floral runway earlier this year, suggesting a chromatic trend may be brewing.

Hosted at the Royal Albert Hall once again, the 2025 event is fronted by Bafta and Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo, whose eccentric style has landed him on countless best-dressed round-ups and makes him a perfect choice.

British Fashion Council chief executive Laura Weir praised Domingo’s “standout year in film, television and theatre”, calling him “a fashion icon whose red-carpet style has set a fresh agenda for men’s fashion”.

Domingo, 56, dialled things back compared to his past looks, wearing a double-breasted navy Burberry suit – a heritage British brand nodding to the UK-based awards – with a pearl-drop broach, a silk black tie and black croc boots.

Amanda Holden, 54, was joined by her daughter Alexa Hughes, 19, both sporting structured silk for the occasion. Hughes wore a deep green column dress with a scattered bejewelled mesh skirt.

Louise Rednapp, 51, like many on the carpet also opted for mesh, wearing a sheer, high-necked black gown by Alaïa. Rednapp accessorised sculptural gold bangles and a sleek side part.

Billie Piper also opted for pale silk monochrome, wearing a vintage Dolce & Gabbana silver dress from the Italian designer’s fall/winter 1998 collection.

The English actress, 43, paired the gown with a pearl-cross choker and a sweeping side fringe – a hair trend that has dominated the carpet.
