2011 Elle Style Awards

The 2011 ELLE Style Awards were held at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London last night. Winners included Cheryl Cole - Musician of the Year (really?!), Tom Ford - Top International Designer and Helena Christensen - Outstanding Contribution to Fashion.

There were a few random guests present (Donna Air – what does she do now?) but all in all it seemed a very stylish affair.
