On December 2, 2025 in London, the annual Fashion Awards, hosted by the British Fashion Council and presented by Pandora returned to the grand Royal Albert Hall — a dazzling celebration of creativity, glamour, and the people shaping the future of fashion.
The evening unfolded like a film of fashion: bold gowns, show‑stopping suiting, and surprises that felt more like cultural moments than mere celeb appearances. Among them was two time BAFTA and Oscar nominated actor, playwright and director Colman Domingo who hosted the evening and actresses Cate Blanchett and Celia Imrie. In total 15 awards were presented with Jonathan Anderson becoming Designer of the Year for the third time in a row, adding to an already stellar year at Dior and JW Anderson.
Organised by the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Klassischen Musik, the OPUS KLASSIK celebrates excellence across 30 categories, honouring artists who inspire, captivate, and set new standards in classical music. An independent jury of experts from the music and media industries selected this year’s recipients.
