Last night the fifth annual Fate awards, in association with Diet Coke, the celebs were out in force to celebrate our home-grown hospitality and entertainment industry.

Katie Waissel turned out to be the big hit with the fans lining the street outside the Europa Hotel and she even left her table during the awards to meet and greet, sign autographs and have her photo taken with fans. She was the winner in the style stakes wearing a vintage Givenchy gown from Lily's Allen's shop 'Lucy in Disguise'.

Living up to his Most Stylish Male title with gusto was Alan Simpson who rocked the red carpet in a slick cream tuxedo jacket and voluminous trousers – fabulous! Zoe Salmon picked up the Colin Angus Best Media Personality she looked sensational in shimmering black.

We didn't recognize Chantelle Houghton although she did looked beautiful – pictured with Fate publisher Michael Mervyn-Jones – a little too many trips to the Harley Street Chantelle? Yu were gorgeous just the way you were!
