FASHION FORWARD

The prestigious ceremony, which champions young talent in the fashion industry and made its debut last year, was hosted by Zooey Deschanel.

The actress went for a classic Hollywood look, wearing a long scarlet halterneck gown teamed with a sparkling diamond choker, plus a gold cuff and clutch.

Joined by her partner, TV producer Jonathan Scott, the New Girl star mingled with an array of fashionistas including supermodel Heidi, who proved that denim need not be purely casual, in a dark dress by Sonia Carrasco with an off the-shoulder neckline, a thigh split and a full draped skirt.
