The ELLE Style Awards are off to an A-list start: Kate Hudson has just stepped onto the red carpet, in a long red gown by Stella McCartney and matching red-soled Louboutin heels.

Fans of her style might’ve made a wise bet that she’d opt for red – it’s her go-to hue, as seen at last year's amfAR Inspiration Gala.

Model Suki Waterhouse, singers Arlissa and Pixie Geldof and designers Henry Holland and Richard Nicoll have swiftly followed her arrival at The Savoy, where Team ELLE is reporting live amid the excitement.
