It was a big night at the British Fashion Awards on Tuesday, and today we're toasting them from across the pond! Most notably, one of our fashion favorites Stella McCartney won top honors as Designer of the Year in London last night.

Recognized for her incredibly stylish contributions to the fashion community thanks to her head-turning designs that feature streamlined silhouettes, sexy cutouts and flirty feminine details, McCartney has certainly made her mark on countless red carpets over the years.

Her innovative talent is a hit among the Hollywood set (Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Jessica Chastain and Kate Bosworth are just a few of her many fans), so we're not surprised she walked away with the highest accolade of the event.

As if that weren't impressive enough, she also received the Designer Brand award on behalf of her eponymous label, and we have a hunch the best is yet to come!
