It's the biggest night on London's fashion calendar, and the celebrities certainly didn't disappoint as they arrived to the 2013 British Fashion Awards at the London Coliseum on Monday night.
And leading the glamour, Rita Ora arrived in decadent fashion, channeling the Hollywood screen sirens of old in a strapless, silver sequinned gown from Vivienne Westwood, which accentuated her every curve, while her platinum blonde hair was styled in side-parted ways, similar to the way her namesake Rita Hayworth made famous back in the 1940s.
On the red carpet, the singer bumped into her fellow Rimmel London brand ambassador Kate Moss, who was no doubt ready to celebrate her first cover for Playboy to mark the magazine's 60th anniversary.
