Jerry Hall proved she's still got it as she led the stars attending the ELLE Style Awards at The Maine hotel in London on Wednesday night. The supermodel, 70, looked sensational in a long-sleeved, figure-hugging black dress from 16 Arlington, which featured a cut out across her chest and an embellished dramatic collar.
Flashing a hint of leg in the garment, Hall paired the look with dramatic black shades, black lace shoes and a black and white patterned clutch bag.
She was joined at the event by Simone Ashley, Rosamund Pike and Emily Maitlis for the glamorous evening. Simone, 31, looked stunning in a floor length black dress which she accessorised with a faux fur shawl.
Rosamund looked exquisite in a silver and blue patchwork embellished high-necked dress from the Erdem Fall/Winter 2026 collection.
Emily dazzled in a £3,850 blue sequin dress from designer Jenny Packham. The journalist, 56, paired the glitzy number with a black scarf and floral drop earrings.
Ruth Wilson also opted for a piece from Erdem's collection as she turned heads in a pink satin gown which purposefully revealed her bra. She paired the dress with white furry heels and a matching furry bag.
ELLE Style Awards winners
The ELLE Style Awards mark the fashion magazine's biggest event of the year, celebrating key cultural figures and talent. Simone won this year's Performer Of The Year award after landing a part in the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2 earlier this year.

Sarah Pidgeon was awarded Modern Muse Of The Year for playing Carolyn Bessette in the Disney+ series Love Story, while Jorja Smith scooped British Sound Of The Year as she marked the 10th anniversary of her breakout single, Blue Lights.
Emily Maitlis, described as one of the UK's leading voices and opinion-setters, was honoured with Journalist Of The Year.
Erdem received British Brand Of The Year, Dolly received Cult Creative and Saturday Night Live UK received Collective Of The Year. Charlotte Tilbury won British Icon, Louise Trotter won Designer Of The Year, the Breakthrough Designer award went to Tolu Coker and Modern Vanguard was presented to Clare Waight Keller.

Other guests at the ceremony
Other guests spotted at the event included Ncuti Gatwa, who wore a black blazer and a white shirt patterned with black polka dots, along with a hat and black shades, and AJ Tracey, who kept his look casual. Steve McQueen also attended, dressed in a black blazer and white shirt.
The Saturday Night Live UK cast posed together, including Annabel Marlow, Celeste Dring, Emma Sidi, Ayoade Bamgboye and Ania Magliano. Hopey Parish wore a black layered wrap top and matching trousers, while Jonny Wright, Katie Vanneck-Smith and Alex Unitt were also pictured at the awards.
Simone Ashley on a possible Bond role
Earlier this week, Simone hinted she would be open to playing a Bond Girl if she received a call-up from bosses. Posing for a shoot with ELLE UK as the magazine's October cover star, she said she would like to find a 'delicious' TV show to star in, but would not turn down an offer from Bond producers to follow in the footsteps of stars including Rosamund Pike and Halle Berry.
The James Bond film series is currently trying to land a new star to play 007, with Amazon MGM beginning work on a new film after purchasing the rights last year.
'I would, yeah. If it happens, it happens! I'm not going to talk about it,' Simone said. 'I definitely want to do more movies and find a really delicious TV show to get into. I'd love to do an action movie. Something fantasy, maybe.'
Simone Ashley on love and Bridgerton
Simone also shared that she hopes to find love and have a family in the future, after being spotted with her new boyfriend, Jay Jammal, last week.
'I definitely want to have my own family and I'd love to find my person,' she said. 'I have all my dreams and ambitions for my career and that will live on, and I trust that when the time is right the other parts of my personal life will find their way, too. I don't put pressure on anything. I believe in the right person at the right time, someone who's kind and has similar ambitions and dreams. That doesn't have to be career-wise, I think you can have very different ambitions and dreams, but just an understanding and support between them.'
Speaking about her role as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton, Simone added: 'It changed my life and, without it, I wouldn't be where I am. That show reached near and far. Even in the places you don't think you'll get recognised, you do. Whenever it finishes, it's going to be the end of an era. I think they have about four or five more siblings to get through. I'm in it till the end!'
