Keira and Kylie named Elle's belles

Keira Knightley and Kylie Minogue took top honours at the Elle Style Awards.

Knightley, 22, made up for her Bafta disappointment by scooping the best actress prize, while Atonement co-star James McAvoy was named best actor.

Minogue, 39, was named Woman of the Year.

Hollywood starlet Kate Hudson was crowned Elle Style Icon for her "distinctive and kooky" fashion sense.

The glamorous awards ceremony was held at the Westway in Notting Hill, west London.

In the TV categories, presenter Kelly Osbourne and Skins star Nicholas Hoult took the prizes.

There were also awards for model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn and singer Kate Nash.

Designer Anya Hindmarch, whose "I'm not a plastic bag" creation was an instant sell-out last year, was honoured for outstanding achievement.
