Keira Scores At Last

Keira KnightleyShe didn't bag a Bafta...

But the Elle Style Awards' judging panel clearly heart Keira Knightley.

They handed her the best actress award at their bash last night.

And she's not the only star clearing space on the mantelpiece for a new gong.

Named as the most stylish and elegant of them all was Kylie Minogue, who was given the Woman Of The Year award.

Dishing out Kylie's award was Little Britain's David Walliams, who said: "She came back fighting fit and hasn't stopped since.

"She personifies courage, determination, beauty and style. She went back on tour and I've been to see her four times - does that make me gay?"

Kylie said: "It's amazing to be here. I'm not exactly sure what I've done to deserve this, because I get to do something that I love. This award will take pride of place in my apartment."

American actress Kate Hudson was given the crown of Elle style icon, and said: "I'm really honoured to be an American in your country and to accept this award because - let's be honest - you guys have the best fashion. You guys know how to dress."

Why, thank you, Kate.
