Alexa Chung at the Glamour Awards

Alexa Chung took home the Entrepreneur Award from the Glamour Women of the Year Awards last night.

Whilst she may be best known for her stylish ways there's no doubt that Alexa has success that she's worked hard for.

The 30-year-old star received the prize in honour of her success in TV presenting, modelling and journalism and was presented with the trophy by fellow TV personality Claudia Winkleman.

Alexa, who is a style icon and contributing editor at British Vogue magazine, also won in the style stakes in a black Dior dress which she paired with strappy black sandals for the ceremony held at London's Berkeley Square Gardens.

A look we surprisingly loved.

Other celebrities who made the best dressed list include Little Mix's Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall, who opted for a range of monochrome outfits as they collected the best band award, and 'Modern Family' actress Sarah Hyland who looked stunning in a sequined t-shirt dress from Gucci.

'The Voice' host Emma Willis also wowed in a full yellow skirt and contrasting colour block top as she received the Presenter award, while Dame Helen Mirren took home the Glamour Icon award.

Meanwhile, 'Orange is the New Black' actress Taylor Schilling received Glamour magazine Editor Jo Elvin's Special Award, Nicole Kidman took home the Outstanding Contribution Award and Taylor Swift - who was unable to attend the annual awards ceremony - accepted the International Solo Artist gong via video link.
