Best dressed

1. Rita Ora

Rita Ora stood out from the crowd in her yellow Zac Posen dress, which lit up the red carpet.

However, it may not have been the most practical choice as the singer apparently had to have some help carrying the train down the red carpet.

2. Kendall Jenner

Model Kendall Jenner is clearly picking up tips from some of the designers she works with, as she rocked her Yigal Azrouel outfit, which she teamed with shorts.

3. Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale was stylish and elegant in a flattering white Kaufmanfranco gown which showed off both her figure and her colouring.

4. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez played it safe in her structured black Armani Privé, but looked elegant and stood out on a red carpet crammed with colour.

5. Elizabeth Banks

Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks kept things fun and youthful in a short pink and orange dress by Peter Pilotto.

Worst dressed

1. Bleona Qereti

Bleona Qereti might just have made her name for all the wrong reasons.

The recording artist will undoubtedly find herself on plenty of worst dressed lists today, after turning up in what looked like a giant fishnet-stocking, showing off her skimpy underwear and pasties.

2. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez hits more than she misses, but this Reem Acra number was one of her flops.

While it would have been a daring and dazzling choice on some, the style didn’t do much to flatter the curvy Booty singer and the pale colour was a bit of a washout for her.

3. Zendaya

Zendaya looked as if she had popped in from the ’70s in her droopy gold outfit, which she paired – inexplicably – with what looked like a bikini top.

4. Diana Ross

Diana Ross’s black dress wasn’t enough to land her on the worst dressed list, but her feathery shawl tipped it over the edge.

5. Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum’s Versace seems to have divided the critics, with some applauding the model’s bold choice and others suggesting it was a bit of a mess.
