McQ, Alexander McQueen’s little sister line, has won Contemporary Brand of the Year at the ELLE Style Awards.

The award was presented by British actress Juno Temple, fresh from winning the Rising Star Award at last night's BAFTAs.

The beautiful Kristen McMenamy, who starred in the first ever McQ presentation last February, was on hand to collect the award on behalf of the brand and its creative director, Sarah Burton (who is currently heavily pregnant with twins).
