Last night at the British Fashion Awards, singer (and Rimmel model) Sophie Ellis-Bextor arrived with lips that perfectly matched the red carpet. As usual, her face was pale and her eyes and mouth were the focus of her makeup look. She's not one to shy away from colour, and as we see, she favours cool reds, pinks and corals with pizzazz. 
Last night Mariella Frostrup hosted the British Fashion Awards in London, and a host of celebrity fashion enthusiasts turned up to applaud the winners. My girl FabUK has all the details on the winners, including Model of the Year Jourdan Dunn — who beat Agyness Deyn to the title — and Red Carpet Designer winner Matthew Williamson. The ever stylish Alexa Chung also walked the red carpet in a tribal boho number, as did Sophie Ellis-Bextor who looked classic in her Topshop LBD and white tights. 
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who recently announced she's expecting her second child, snuggled up with supermodels Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer at the Chaos Point Gala Dinner in London last night, where Vivienne Westwood presented her Gold Label Collection in aid of the NSPCC. All three stars were on trend in all black, a fashion choice which covered up Sophie's growing baby bump.

The lovely Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced she is pregnant with her second child on her website message board! The post entitled "Two new releases next year" went up yesterday afternoon and mentions her work for Rimmel, her new single, and her fourth album, which she spoke to me about recently. Congratulations to Sophie and her man Richard Jones! 
Music industry artists and insiders including Take That, Girls Aloud, Mika, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, Simon Cowell, The Feeling and many more honoured Lucian Grainge, a Universal Music boss, at a hotel in London last night as Lucian Grainge picked up the Music Industry Trust Award last night. It was a fab photo opportunity for the biggest boyband and girlband in the UK (minus Nadine) to get photographed together, making me imagine what an awesome supergroup they'd be! U2 presented the award to Lucian, with Bono saying:
"He's great because he's ready to take on the world for British music, and Irish music for that matter. 
There were birthday parties galore in London last night, from Company Magazine to celebrity hairdresser of choice James Brown, who celebrated his 39th and the first year of his haircare range with a starry selection of pals at Volstead. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie joined in the celebrations alongside Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrell. Kelly's brother Jack looked happy next to Kimberly Stewart, who caught my girl Fab UK's eye in her red tartan outfit: do you love or hate her look?
Kate Moss went curly for the occasion, while reports suggest her life story might be made in to a film along with the rest of the Primrose Hill set. 
Lots of celebs turned up for Company Magazine's 30th Birthday Party at the Proud Galleries in Camden last night. Liz McClarnon shone in her bright red dress, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor and hubby Richard Jones coordinated in their all black outfits. Like the BT Digital Music Awards, the party was graced by ex-Big Brother housemates, giving BB9 hunk Stuart Pilkington the opportunity to rub shoulders with last series' Sam and Amanda Marchant and series seven's Imogen Thomas. 
Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana held a fundraising dinner at London's Hanover Square last night, and were joined by Sophie Ellis-Bextor and hubby Richard Jones plus his bandmates from The Feeling. The event raised funds for Women's Aid: Gordon, Tana and Sarah Brown are patrons of the charity, which campaigns to end domestic violence. Sarah, who attended the fundraiser with husband Gordon Brown, brought some colour to the sea of LBDs in her pink dress and Mariella Frostrup shimmered in silver. 
As we saw from Estelle's large umbrella at the Mercury Music Award ceremony, it was a fairly dreary evening in London last night — perhaps not the best evening for the Serpentine Gallery's Summer Party. Still, the undeterred guests wore their favourite frocks and suits for the evening and Sophie Ellis Bextor wore sunshine-coloured tights and shoes to try and bring a bit of summery warmth to the occasion!
Mika also wore some colourful clothes, and showed up with Katy Perry who's enjoying a fifth week at the top spot of the UK singles chart with "I Kissed A Girl", and wore a little more than she did at the MTV VMAs on Sunday! 
Last night FabUK and I headed to Beach Blanket Babylon in Notting Hill for a party and screening of the fun and bizarre musical short The Town That Boars Me. It has cameos from familiar faces like Sadie Frost, Zandra Rhodes, Jodie Harsh and Kelly Osbourne (who was missing from the party due to her black eye), as well as the lovely Sophie Ellis-Bextor who we managed to have a few words with! Make sure you check out what she said about her expensive boots to FabUK, and here's what else she had to say to us:
As we headed over she was with her man Richard Jones (The Feeling) who she introduced as "her husband and sometime bodyguard", at which he jokingly said "I'm watching you two...".
