Red carpet round-up: Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty Gala

A cluster of A-listers pulled out all the stops to attend a gala dinner held at the V&A Museum in honour of the ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ exhibition in London Thursday evening.

Brimming with glamour and ritzy gowns, the event was a display of sartorial savviness and creativity.

Victoria Beckham



Mrs Beckham looked nothing short of dapper, rocking a dress from her own brand. The strapless bustier design gave it a chic edge and the bold triangular cut-out detailing provided an edgy, fashion-forward appeal. The mother-of-four accentuated her curves in the sombre number, which comprised floral, ruffle embellishments on the flowing skirt but her face looked worn out. Her make-up and hair looked awry and we wish we could clean the over-done shadow smudge around her eyes.

Kate Moss



 

The 41-year-old supermodel proved she’s still invincible by sporting a vivid lace McQueen number, which flaunted her incredible figure, with credit to its matching skimpy bodysuit. The dress featured a high neck, long sleeves and a fine-flowing skirt. She paired the elegant ensemble with a pair of strappy heels and a matching McQueen clutch, leaving her blonde locks loose in her favourite tousled style.

Naomi Campbell



 

Naomi looked every inch the supermodel she is in an awe-inspiring McQueen gown, which featured a dramatic feather skirt, contrasted with a delicate sheer flower-embossed top. The fitted number highlighted her famed frame and the sheer top with floral detailing left us gazing. The model added oomph to the look with strappy black heels and edgy, furry layer on one shoulder.

Salma Hayek



The Savages actor looked ravishing in a plush strapless McQueen gown, which featured black lace peacock detailing and a full ruffled skirt. The full-bodied design boasted a froth of creamy frills that we loved. She polished up her look with black cut-out heels, jewellery by Boucheron and a small black clutch. The star wore her locks in voluminous waves and kept her make-up minimal, focusing on a power brow and smokey eyes. She was surely the head-turner of the night.
