British Fashion Awards best and worst dressed: Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung

Last night in London, all of the fashion girls came out for the British Fashion Awards. Here’s what you need to know about the event: in the category of “British Style Award” (I’m assuming that’s for who represents British style around the world), Duchess Kate was nominated but she didn’t win. Alexa Chung won. In what world?!?! Other winners included Victoria Beckham for Best Designer Brand, Stella McCartney for “The Red Carpet Award,” Stella Tennant for Model of the Year, and Colin Firth’s wife Livia for Red Carpet Dresser of the Year. I mean… I love fashion, and I love talking about this stuff, but do we really need a ceremony in which “awards” are handed out to these people? Anyway, let’s talk fashion. First up, Victoria Beckham in one of her own designs. I actually love it. I couldn’t wear it – but it’s lovely.

Kelly Brook in a one-shouldered gown in white. Lovely. Not very fashion-forward or anything, but she’s just so pretty.

I love Colin Firth and Livia. I love that he’s with someone who has some substance and elegance. I love that they look so good together. I even love her wrinkled dress.

Alexa Chung: Bangs trauma and an eating disorder. What’s worse, the hair or the toothpick legs? Rough all around.

Kate Hudson in what I think is Stella McCartney. It’s business in the front, but there’s a party on the side…?

Look what got scraped off of the bottom of the barrel. Jesus, Kate Moss looks terrible.

    Wow….the pics went from best to worst….Holy mackeral, how many fish can Kate Moss catch in her granny fishnet get up?

  2. GoodCapon says:

    I never thought I would say this, but I love what Posh Spice is wearing. It could do with more support in the bust area though.

  3. UKHels says:

    that’s the first time in 20 years I’ve seen Kate Moss look bad in anything

  4. Astrid says:

    Could we get another shot of Posh’s dress? Hard to tell what’s going on.

  5. Jem says:

    I never understand why alexa chung slides under the radar with her weight whereas other celebs are always being ripped apart in the papers for losing a little weight. She looks ill and has done for years in my opinion.

    • taxi says:

      Agree! Chung always looks like she just left a concentration camp. She accentuates her hideous legs with mini skirts, too.

  6. El Kiddo says:

    Posh never wears color. And Good God, did Kate Moss just got stuck in a fisherman’s net or what?

  7. TXCinderella says:

    Oh, so now Kate Hudson is all about British stuff because her lover is British? Geez.

  8. Jackie says:

    i LOVE victoria’s dress.

    can’t believe this, but i am beginning to really like her designs.

    saw her bags for sale the other day….really nice, but ridiculously overpriced.

  9. Gwen says:

    I wonder if Kate (Moss) was trying to mock the event with that look? I mean – Stella McCartney gets the “The Red Carpet Award” – who has ever looked good in one of her dresses on the red carpet?? If it wasn’t an attempt to mock – EPIC fail.

    Posh looks the best.

  10. txvxf says:

    The cutout on Kate Hudson’s dress looks like it was inspired by a pregnancy body. Ginormous boobs and an outie belly button.

  11. Wildone says:

    Why was Kate Hudson there? She not a fashion girl I would think someone like Blake Lively would have been there.

  12. bea says:

    Who the heck is Alexa Chung? She look dazed – perhaps just finished a cat fight in the loo? She must be a Brit. You’re right – why is she receiving a fashion award when she needs to go for eating disorder treatment?!

    I sort of liked the dress Kate Moss was wearing……until I saw the bottom.

  13. ShanKat says:

    I enjoy Alexa Chung. She’s interesting, in a high street hipster way. Her shoes are the BEST.

    Poor Kelly Brook…such a pretty head, just resting there on her clavicle. Gorgeous dress, though.

  14. KLO says:

    Looks like Colin Firth has lost some weight. Looking good.

  15. normades says:

    Alexa Chung looks like hell these days. She used to be pretty with more weight in the face. She is apparently a mega bitch too with the diet pills she takes.

    And Kate’s dress is awesome. I don’t like the big black hem at bottom, but love the big fishnet look (wait for the copy cats in 1,2….)

  16. k says:

    For once, I agree with you regarding the bangs trauma!

  17. Nev says:

    Kate Moss looks amazing!

  18. DG says:

    LOVE Kate Moss’ dress except for the wide band at the bottom…..otherwise it would’ve been perfect for her. Victoria Beckham looks good but boring.

  19. Veruca says:

    Would it kill this woman to smile? What, is she afraid she’ll gain weight if she makes an attempt to look happy?

    I thought Katie Holmes was one of the worst choices God ever made to give a girl child to. I stand corrected. Poor Harper Seven (Seven. Seriously?) is going to have some serious self-esteem issues growing up with this one as a role model.

    And don’t get me wrong — I don’t dislike Beckham, I just wish she’d (just ONCE) not look like someone just killed her dog.

    Maybe she’d smile if she’d eat. Once.

    • Rose says:

      Really, you know this becasue VB doesn’t smile in photos, because the rest of her kids seem happy and well adjusted. Hate all this ‘oh she doesn’t smile’ crap. VB has ALWAYS said she looks funny in photos when she smiles.

      • Veruca says:

        So, you’re saying it’s better to look like a bitch? Lighten up, lady. I said I didn’t dislike her. If you’ve got a problem with people who rip on celebrities, you are so in the wrong place.

      • Rose says:

        I’ve a problem with people PROJECTING nonsense on the basis of a picture.

      • Veruca says:

        Well, I’d say you’re right — you do have a problem.

        And as I live in Britain & Posh has been a tab staple forever, my opinion is based on the years of photos of her not smiling.

      • Rose says:

        Who cares where you live? You’re the one equating and conflating supposed future parenting skills with how a person poses in photos.

    • Kimble says:

      VB doesn’t smile in pictures – I never understand why people get upset about this. It doesn’t reflect her personality as anyone that knows her or has seen her in interviews says how funny and likeable she is.

      I know how she feels, I always feel like a character from Wallace and Gromit when I smile in pictures – “more cheese, Gromit?”

      • Havik says:

        THIS. Oh Lord, “more cheese, Gromit?” I’m still laughing!

        And I know completely how you feel; I look so awkward when I’m full-on naturally smiling. In motion it’s not so awkward, but a candid still just looks uncomfortable.

        Anyways, love Posh. She looks lovely (:

    • Veruca says:

      Ok, Victoria. Take your valium and get a nap. Or, in this case, maybe you should try lithium.

      If you wore undies, I’d tell you not to get them in a bunch over this, but since you have no hobbies but to worry about a passing comment from a total stranger, you do what works for you.

      Oh, and have you actually noticed what site you were on? I don’t see you chastising all those ripping on the Kardashians. Take your holier than thou attitude somewhere else. As someone else mentioned earlier — this isn’t cele-nice. It’s cele-bitchy.

      My comments are standard operational procedure around here. No one asked you to play.

  20. Eleonor says:

    Victoria has gained some weight and looks better, with Livia she is wearing my favourite dresses of the evening.

  21. MAMAKOWALSKA says:

    Me thinks Kate is hiding blossoming thunder-thighs under that dress.

    She looks pregnant to me looking at her abdomen.

    Her face and hair look great and I like the dress.

    She looks good with a little weight.

    It’s just shocking because she’s always so skeletal.

    • Kimble says:

      Kate only looks pregnant cos she can’t wear spanx under that dress – that’s what most of us (who have had children!) look like au naturelle

  22. Nanea says:

    Livia should be nominated for every award people can come up with, because she always has the best accessory – Colin.

    And I like VB’s dress.

  23. Miffits says:

    Is Kate Moss still wearing the net they used to fish her out of a gutter? It’s a shame because I love her hair and makeup.

    Love what Victoria Beckham’s dress though, love her hair and makeup too.

  24. girlwithapearl says:

    God, you’re vicious. I think they all look great in their own way. Individualism is a huge part of fashion, and I respect Chung and Moss for truly not giving a fuck what other people think

  25. whatevs says:

    for some reason i can’t hate o kate moss’s dress but it is quite a bit nineties
