The Worst-Dressed Celebs At The 2024 Fashion Awards
People-watching is a big part of the fun at any awards show, but few events are quite as tantalizing for fashion lovers as the Fashion Awards. The 2024 Fashion Awards, hosted by the British Fashion Council and presented by jewelry giant Pandora, continued the longstanding tradition of crowning today's top talents throughout the fashion industry on Monday, December 2. Held in London's Royal Albert Hall, the charitable soiree welcomed A-listers from across the globe, including Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, and Debbie Harry. Top models like Anok Yai and Alex Consani also graced the guest list, while legendary designers Stella McCartney and Tom Ford were among those in attendance.
At a gathering filled with so many fashion icons, the stakes are high when it comes to hitting the red carpet. Some stars certainly slayed at this year's event, though quite a few guests at the 2024 Fashion Awards gave us secondhand shame with their unfortunate style choices. Don't fret, though — even if you missed the big night in its entirety, there's still time to check out the evening's biggest fashion fails. Without further ado, let's get into Glam's picks of the worst-dressed celebs at the 2024 Fashion Awards.
Ellie Goulding's oversized outerwear didn't leave anyone starry-eyed
Ellie Goulding is known for her seriously unique sense of style, from her music to her outfits, but we can't excuse this comforter-core creation. The singer turned up to the 2024 Fashion Awards in a floor-length coat with an imposing silhouette. Though we loved the "Starry Eyed" singer's choice of accessories — namely, those adorable stacked hoop earrings — it was hard to look past the puffy fashion faux pas draped around her shoulders.
Daisy Ridley's satin separates stood out for all the wrong reasons
"Star Wars" actor Daisy Ridley got one thing right with her 2024 Fashion Awards 'fit: It truly goes against the grain. After watching countless guests at the event strut their stuff in shredded dresses and supersized coats, Ridley's pared-down attire was a breath of fresh air. But while we loved her sparkling silver skirt and elegant black pumps, we didn't share the same affinity for the wrinkled red camisole she wore up top.
Ambika Mod's lampshade-esque look was ... a choice
British powerhouse Ambika Mod has made a name for herself with various talents, from her award-winning acting to her comedy chops, and truth be told, we found her choice of dress at the 2024 Fashion Awards, well, a little funny. Wearing an eccentric bespoke gown by Loewe, she looked breathtaking in florals — until you looked down, that is. Let's just state the obvious: This design is nearly indistinguishable from your common lampshade. Not being able to see the inner constructive elements would've helped the look at least a little bit.
Marisa Abela's monochromatic black look underwhelmed us
As the weather outside gets colder, it's only natural to add tights into your regular wardrobe rotation. But sadly for "Industry" star Marisa Abela, a pair of sultry, sheer black tights did little to save her from our worst-dressed list at the 2024 Fashion Awards. Her asymmetrical little black dress blended into her matching legwear and heels, giving the overall look little visual interest.
Rotem Sela should have left her coat at home
Model and TV personality Rotem Sela was one of many celebs who rocked a full-on coat on the red carpet at the 2024 Fashion Awards, but it didn't work out in her favor — hence her placing on our worst-dressed list. The hair? Absolutely stunning. The sparkly minidress? Yes, on point. But that gargantuan, tweedy overcoat had absolutely no business marring this otherwise-lovely look!
Alexa Chung's furry throwback look needed a few tweaks
Some will say that Alexa Chung was one of the chicest guests in attendance at the 2024 Fashion Awards, but it wouldn't be a worst-dressed list without some scathing critique, so allow us to politely pick a few bones. Sure, Chung didn't need to mimic the fashion sense of yesteryear to a tee — after all, it could easily start to look costumey if she did. But there's something that feels so off about wearing several hallmarks of Old Hollywood glamour alongside limp, slicked-back hair. In the future, we'd love to see Chung pump up the volume to suit the rest of her style.
Frankie Bridge's slouchy red frock did her few favors
Bridging the gap between office holiday party and "Moulin Rouge" cosplay, Frankie Bridge arrived in an all-red ensemble that nearly camouflaged her against The Fashion Awards' red carpet. Tragically, we really admired the lower half of Bridge's look: a flouncy, full-length sheer skirt that gave off serious retro vibes. Up top was where everything went wrong for her, however, from the limply styled bob to the oversized silk blouse.
Designer Dimitra Petsa's shredded slip bored us to tears
If there's one thing we're growing tired of, it's the ongoing trend of evening wear imitating shredded tax documents. Designer Dimitra Petsa wasn't immune to our scrutiny, as she graced the red carpet in a threadbare silver slip. She's not one of the worst-dressed celebrities of 2024, but this was look was overall a miss. Aside from her slip dress, the raven-haired beauty looked absolutely radiant — we just wish she incorporated some fun visible mending for a change of pace from the cutout look.
Shalom Brume-Franklin's micro-mini felt a touch too casual for the red carpet
There's plenty to love about Shalom Brune-Franklin's hyper-feminine 'fit at this year's Fashion Awards, from her glossy, center-parted hair to her strappy black pumps. That said, the star's minimalist pink babydoll dress was a little underdressed by red-carpet standards. A bold shawl, some color-coordinated tights, or a '60s-inspired hair accessory could have easily elevated Brune-Franklin's look from "eh" to "extraordinary."
Model Mia Regan's black-and-white gown didn't make the mark
Mia Regan had the right idea with this high-contrast ensemble that was clearly inspired by midcentury fashion design. Regrettably, it was the little things that landed Regan on Glam's list of worst-dressed celebrities at The Fashion Awards — like the loose fit of the black bodice and her mismatched wet-look hair. Even if Regan's outfit wasn't exactly our cup of tea at this event, we can't wait to see what the budding fashionista will serve up next time.
