The 2024 Fashion Awards will take place Monday night at Royal Albert Hall, with a long list of celebrities and designers set to attend. John Galliano, Jonathan Anderson and Miuccia Prada are among six designers competing for the Designer of the Year category, while famous faces including Tom Ford, A$AP Rocky, and Issa Rae will all be celebrated as well.
Founded in 1989, the British Fashion Council’s annual fundraising gala has long generated stylish red carpet moments.
WWD looks back on the celebrity style throughout the years, from Princess Diana‘s stunning white Catherine Walker look worn at the first Fashion Awards, to Rihanna’s seafoam green Fenty minidress from 2019, to the vintage Valentino dress that Anne Hathaway wore to last year’s event.
