Jessie J in Julien Macdonald 

The winner of the UK's Best Solo Artist Award on the night. Jessie wears a no-surprises rock chic tasselled mini dress. A bit predictable, but nice bottom exposure thanks to the sheer material!

Kylie Minogue in Stella McCartney 

In gold shimmer again (she wore a D&G gold gown to the Cannes Film Festival), Kylie won the award for Outstanding Contribution. A well-deserved award, so why is she still raising that eyebrow of hers?! Please Kylie, let your forehead grow old gracefully!

Allegra and Donatella Versace 

Fashion's most powerful auntie and niece are starting to look unsettlingly similar. We hope Allegra starts tinting her eyebrows soon, it is a severe look given her young age. Donatella's dress is a testament to Versace's inimitable craftsmanship, marrying panels of satin, sequinned chiffon and gold trimming  - a real work of art. No wonder she took home the award for Best Fashion Designer. But why does she look like an extra from Planet of the Apes?!

Alesha Dixon in Julie Macdonald

Alesha's skin is like warm honey scintillating in the sun! This dress really makes the most of her dancing legs. Pretty and feminine.

Natalia Vodianova in Versace

Natalia V is a model who speaks her mind. At a recent Q&A with fellow catwalkers (including Lily Cole and Eva Herzigova), Natalia declared that 'it's better to be thin than fat'. She doesn't mince her words, and this simple Versace dress suits her headstrong personality, especially paired with her day-off hair. Very sexy with just the right amount of attitude.

Naomi Watts in Versace 

Naomi: the actress who has defied the ageing process! Here she looks a lot like her Aussie BBF, Nicole Kidman, before her face was frozen (we are only speculating!). This is serious red carpet glamour, parred down with a 'couldn't-care-less' loose ponytail. Her flawless skin is enviable beyond words.

Lea Michele in Zac Posen 

You've got to love the Glee actress for always picking a show-stopping gown and mega bling earrings. She doesn't really do effortless chic and if she did, she wouldn't irritate/compel us so!

Kelly Rowland in Maria Grachvogel 

Halter necks really suit Kelly's athletic build and the delicate feather print on this dress also enhances her curves. But we prefer her hair au natural and not straightened.

Jameela Jamil, designer unknown, clutch by Lulu Guinness  

Trust Jameela to bring fun and vibrancy to the evening. At the event she tweeted: 'Awards were Exceptional. Six words. Dionne Warwick. Jessica alba. Jeremy Piven. (All of whom I sufficiently weirded out!)'. We love her L.A-beachbum-meets-Marbella-raver look!

Amanda Holden in Jacques Azagury 

Amanda is a prim and proper doily dolly for the evening. She has a lot to feel smug about too, having picked up the award for Best Theatre Actress.

Eva Longoria in Victoria Beckham 

Eva wears her favourite VB body hugger - welcome respite from all those red carpet sweepers she wore at Cannes.

Jessica Alba in Alexander McQueen 

The actress picked up the award for Best Entrepreneur, having launched her new brand, The Honest Company, which sells 100% natural baby products and household cleaners. Soon to come is her new book too,  'The Honest Life: a how-to manual on living the toxin-free family life'. Look out Gwyneth Paltrow, there's a new eco-warrior in town. Although we're not sure if she can sing, so you still have one up for now!
