The Fashion Awards 2025 delivered another unforgettable night of glamour in London on Monday, as stars from TOWIE, Love Island, and other staple British reality shows took centre stage at what is widely regarded as the UK’s answer to the Met Gala.
The annual event, held at the Royal Albert Hall, saw an array of television favourites turning up in extravagant and carefully curated looks that commanded the blue carpet.
Among the standout arrivals was Zara McDermott, who led the wave of reality TV stars in a breathtaking white one-shouldered gown embellished with sparkling silver beading.
The 27-year-old former Love Island star and documentary filmmaker unveiled a new brunette hairstyle, adding even more elegance to her layered couture ensemble.
She was joined by fellow Love Island alumni, including Olivia Attwood, Maura Higgins and Tasha Ghouri, each turning heads with bold fashion choices.
Olivia embraced a contemporary twist on evening glamour, stepping out in a chic two-piece ensemble consisting of a strapless bra top, coordinating mini skirt and a sweeping wool coat.
Meanwhile, Maura Higgins showcased a daring monochrome look that paired a black-and-white pinstriped skirt with a statement white bralet and an extravagant sculptural headpiece.
Also stealing attention was Tasha Ghouri, who lit up the carpet in a striking silk gown in deep burnt orange, perfectly complemented with a chunky gold statement necklace and sleek up-do hairstyle.
From The Only Way Is Essex, Jessica Wright, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Pete Wicks continued the reality takeover. Jessica stunned in a metallic brown floor-length gown with a leather-styled corset bodice that highlighted her silhouette.
She paired the look with matching heels and oversized gold earrings, offering a refined yet dramatic finish.
Lucy Mecklenburgh opted for full-throttle glamour in a shimmering pink art-deco inspired metallic dress, while Pete Wicks arrived in a classic double-breasted tuxedo with a satin lapel and a silver brooch, proving that men’s eveningwear can be just as noteworthy.
Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison also graced the blue carpet, posing confidently for photographers as she joined an impressive line-up of British entertainment personalities.
First launched in 1989, the Fashion Awards—formerly known as the British Fashion Awards before rebranding in 2016—continues to be recognised as one of the most prestigious nights in the global fashion calendar.
Although originally designed to celebrate industry figures in the UK, it now honors talent from around the world and has become a meeting point for designers, models, music stars, and cultural icons.
Historically hosted at venues including the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, the ceremony returned to Royal Albert Hall in 2016, which remains its permanent home.
The 2025 ceremony was hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo, who paid tribute to British heritage by wearing Burberry on the red carpet.
Over the years, the event has welcomed iconic faces such as Princess Diana, the Spice Girls, Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld, and continues to grow in prestige each year.
With dramatic fashion moments dominating social media and a star-studded front row celebrating global talent, the Fashion Awards once again proved why it is considered one of the most influential showcases in the industry.
