It was a good night for the Brits who put on a bold and beautiful display with Claire Foy, Lily Collins, Sienna Miller, Naomie Harris, and Felicity Jones all making it onto the best dressed list.

And with lots of actresses opting for home grown talent like Jenny Packham, Vivienne Westwood and Erdem, it was also a great night for British fashion.
