It was a sparkling evening of deserving winners and stunning outfits at the British Fashion Awards where Victoria and David Beckham wore similar "his and her" black suits and the Instagrammable generation of Alexa Chung and Olivier Rousteing shared their night with us on social media.

Held at the historic London Coliseum, the BFAs honoured legends of fashion like Chanel director Karl Lagerfeld, who was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award by his close friend and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. Wintour joked that for the sake of frienship, Lagerfeld built a tennis court at his coastal home in Biarritz so that she'd feel "more comfortable when visiting." Now that's one enviable friendship right there, which Poppy Develeigne memorialized on Instagram before they stepped out on stage.

For the major categories of womenswear and menswear, JW Anderson scored a rare coup and got both awards. When he came on stage, he admitted to being a bit flustered when his crush Orlando Bloom gave him the award. Bloom looked positively delicious in his all-navy suit.

One of the most hilarious moments of the night came when comedians Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley came as their iconic fashionistas Edina and Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous to present Stella McCartney with the British Brand Award. "She's been literally making bags from the pubic hair of wheat grass for years," quipped Eddie in reference to McCartney's eco-sensibilities.

The night also saw rulebreakers take home the gold, like FKA Twigs, who won for Fashion Innovator and the ecstatic Gwendoline Christie who was so happy to get her award she knocked over the martinis at her table in the process.

But, it wouldn't be a fashion night out if there weren't selfies and pouting plastered all over Instagram. Our favourite one had to be the ultimate "It Girl" Alexa Chung posing with Oliver Rousteing and Stella McCartney. I guess our invites got lost in the mail.
