Gwendoline Christie and Jourdan Dunn win British Fashion Awards
Actress Gwendoline Christie and model Jourdan Dunn were honored for their style sense at the 2015 British Fashion Awards on Monday night (23Nov15).
The Game of Thrones regular was named the Red Carpet Ambassador while Dunn was presented with the Model of the Year prize by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing.
Singer FKA Twigs was handed the Fashion Innovator award, and
credited her family for inspiring her to be different.
"I would like to dedicate this award to my mom because she used to
make clothes that she wore and I wore," actor Robert Pattinson's
girlfriend told the audience during her acceptance speech. "I used
to want just a tenth of what she had - people used to look at her
in the street because she looked so great. My nanna inspired us to
be brave and creative and beautiful on the inside as well as the
outside."
Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld was also feted with the Outstanding
Achievement award for his years of contributions to the fashion
industry. The prize was presented to him by last year's (14)
recipient, Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Among the other attendees at the star-studded event, which was held
at the London Coliseum, were Victoria and David Beckham, Rita Ora,
Lady Gaga, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini,
Orlando Bloom, Kate Beckinsale, and singer Lily Allen
