ELLE UK hosted its annual ELLE Style Awards this week, celebrating the inventive voices shaping the cultural panorama. Hosted by Ncuti Gatwa at The MAINE in London, the night noticed Rosamund Pike, Ruth Wilson, Simone Ashley, Jorja Smith and Dina Asher-Smith among the many stars becoming a member of this 12 months’s award winners.
Embellished Magnificence
Rosamund Pike introduced Erdem Moralıoğlu with the British Model of the Yr award, so naturally she wore Erdem for the event. Her Fall 2026 patchwork robe is extremely detailed, and whereas I’m not normally a fan of PVC heels, I do like how her Christian Louboutin Degraqueen sandals echo the gildings and tulle overlay of the gown.
Did it want extra sparkle? In all probability not, however the Repossi rings accomplished the look fantastically.
Romantic Insurgent
Ruth Wilson additionally supported Erdem, sporting a Resort 2027 pink floral gown. Ruth is our resident non-conformist and risk-taker, and whereas the intentionally undone parts and pink hue give the look a romantic really feel, the feathered footwear and Erdem Bloom bag inject the offbeat persona I anticipate to see from her.
Chocolate Season
British Sound of the Yr winner Jorja Smith wore Nina Ricci. I’ll at all times lean in the direction of brown, and this wealthy chocolate leather-based seems to be stunning on her, however I’m not bought on the inexperienced eye make-up.
Bringing The Drama
Simone Ashley, who acquired The Performer award, wore 16Arlington. The black robe was smooth, streamlined silhouette, with the shearling-trimmed detailing making certain this was a black gown to recollect.
Spots and a Beret
Ncuti Gatwa was by no means going to accept normal black-tie, particularly as host of the night. His Paul Smith swimsuit supplied the traditional basis, however the polka-dot shirt and beret introduced the aptitude. Jimmy Choo Wilder loafers accomplished his look.
Lower-Out Dialog
Dina Asher-Smith wore Torishéju, and that is a type of seems to be that turns into extra fascinating the longer you have a look at it. The sculpted high and uneven cut-outs give the black gown its character, whereas the proportions maintain your eye transferring across the look.
Peplum Proportions
Tolu Coker, who dressed Catherine, Princess of Wales earlier this 12 months, acquired the Breakthrough Designer award sporting her personal Tolu Coker design. I like the proportions right here. The strapless bodice and exaggerated peplum remodel what may have been a typical gray tailor-made look, and the trousers are the right size – as you’d anticipate from a designer.
Designer’s Selection
Louise Trotter acquired the Designer of the Yr award sporting a glance from her Bottega Veneta Spring 2026 assortment.
