The British Fashion Awards bring out some of the best fashionistas around. Many attendees hid their shoes with long gowns, but luckily for us, others opted to fully show off their footwear. Here are five of our favorite pairs of shoes — which did you like best?
1. Stella Tennant in Alexander McQueen
It only seems right to wear a British designer to the British Fashion Awards, and supermodel Stella didn’t disappoint. She chose to wear a full Spring 2014 look by Alexander McQueen.
Not many people could pull off a mixture of a revealing harness top, a peplum blazer, and kilt-fronted trousers, but Stella did it.

Stella’s architectural sandals are one of the craziest shoe styles we’ve ever seen.

2. Laura Bailey in Charlotte Olympia
The American actress looked like a Disney princess in a long pink dress by Roksanda Illincic. She followed the girly theme with her white Charlotte Olympia sandals.

The British style icon stuck to her signature look in a super short Stella McCartney dress. The pale pink strapless dress is from the brand’s Fall 2013 collection and has been modernized with embroidery and a structured sweetheart neckline.

Up-and-coming designer Simone Rocha wore a bubblegum pink dress and a matching jacket from her own Fall 2013 collection.

She naturally chose to wear her own shoe design and was a breath of fresh air in black patent platform loafers. The most interesting detail of her unusual flats has to be the see-through plexiglass block heels.
