The Fashion Awards 2019 happened on the 2 December at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. The Fashion Awards are an annual ceremony held since 1989, showcasing British and international contributors to the fashion industry that year. Each winner was presented with a Swarovski crystal trophy designed by the Welsh artist, Ross Lovegrove. Let’s take a look at the best-dressed women of the night.
Rihanna
In the Urban Luxe category, Rihanna’s label, Fenty, won despite only being launched in May. The brand was launched with the help of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), the luxury goods company that owns several luxury brands such as Belvedere, Benefit Cosmetics, Marc Jacobs, Bulgari, Celine, Christian Dior, Dom Pérignon, Fendi, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Hennesey, Moët & Chandon, and several others.
The collection is size-inclusive and price-conscious. Although, at several hundred to thousands per item, it might not be accessible for all.
At the awards, Rihanna wore a Fenty mini dress in pale green/mint with matching gloves, and stiletto heels. Her jewellery was by Fabio Salini.
Naomi Campbell
Naomi wore a sheer black floor-length, high-necked gown embellished with crystals. She wore her hair in long loose waves. Naomi won the fashion icon award.
Adut Akech
Adut won model of the year and has been a powerful voice against the racism in the modelling industry. She was on the cover of seven Vogue issues this year alone and five September issues. She wore a stunning strapless green silk gown with embellished pointed-toe shoes and matching bag.
Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett
Giorgio Armani was honoured for outstanding achievements and took the stage with Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett. Julia wore an embellished, sparkly black jumpsuit with large, prominent turquoise earrings and Cate wore a silver chiffon gown with shoulder detailing and silver shoes. The belt cinched in at the waist highlighted her slim figure.
