NME AWARDS

When looking at the NME Awards in terms of fashion, it can be divided into two ways: those who actually dress and make a bit of an effort and those who just shove on the first thing they find. Because, unlike most other award ceremonies, the one that takes place at the end of February in the Brixton Academy is not about looking glamorous and well-dressed. It's about the music.

A controversial ceremony held by a controversial magazine. However, what's uplifting about it is that that nearly all the winners are chosen by the public and it is a gathering of all the coolest people around at the moment.

But what did they wear? I hear you ask. Well here is a variety of pictures from some of those on the guest-list:

It is guaranteed that the women will look the most presentable, combining glam with rock.

Juliette Lewis let out sparkles of laid back cool with her glistening skinnies and casual denim shirt,
Alexa Chung wore a bit of Christopher Kane to bring out the star in herself and Jameela Jamil shone in up-and-coming designer Aminaka Wilmont. Also shown above is Marina Diamandis accompanied with neon lipstick and accessories and Alison Mosshart, wrapped up warm in a bird-like, feathered coat.

As for the guys, it was a bit diverse.

My Chemical Romance opted for matching suits, alongside Miles Kane. And Patrick Wolfe was dressed in a smart red number.

But if it wasn't a Sunday-doing-nothing-in-the-house-look of hoodie and jeans (I'm talking about you Dan Haggis of The Wombats) then it was the typical boy band appearance. Stylish but we have seen it before..
