Kate Moss has been named the most classically glamorous celebrity on the planet by a panel made up of some of the fashion and beauty world's top names.

Despite competition from Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Yasmin Le Bon, the judging panel at the Rodial Beautiful Awards, which included Jasmine Guinness, Jo Wood and designer Ben de Lisi among others, plumped for glamorous Kate.

Other winners on the night included Rita Ora, who beat off Lana del Rey and Alice Dellal to take the prize for 'Most Edgy Look', and Lisa Eldridge who was named 'Best Make-up Artist'.

Tuesday night's event, which took place at the St Martin's Lane Hotel in London was the fourth Rodial Beautiful Awards.

Previous winners include Elle Macpherson, who took home last year's 'Classic Glamour' award and Sadie Frost who won the same gong in 2011.

Although Moss wasn't on hand to receive her prize, best friend Frost was. Along with hairdresser, James Brown, she picked up the award on the model's behalf, declaring that she would be 'thrilled' to discover that she'd won.

Also at the St Martin's Lane Hotel was swimwear designer Melissa Odabash who was happy to reveal the secret of her gorgeously brown legs to MailOnline.

The bronzed fashionista said that her golden glow comes courtesy of organic Irish tanning brand, Vita Liberata, and laughingly admitted to slapping on a last minute dose of the product just before leaving the house.

Odabash also found time to impart a little of her beauty wisdom, saying that the secret of good skin is a combination of plentiful water and an alkaline diet.

'An alkaline diet gives you so much more energy,' she explained. 'Also try running three times a week for 20 minutes at a time and be as natural as you can be.'

Also ready to reveal her beauty secrets was Rodial founder, Maria Hatzistefanis, who arrived buzzing with excitement about her soon-to-launch men's skincare brand, Nip+Man.

According to Hatzistefanis, the key to good skin is proper exfoliation, which, she said, most people don't do often enough.

'Make sure you have a good cleanser and moisturiser too,' she added. 'And don't ever forget to take your make-up off before you go to bed.'

Other guests on hand to watch the ever so slightly tipsy Julien Macdonald present the awards, included Spandau Ballet star, Gary Kemp and his stylist wife, Lauren, entrepreneur Jo Wood and man-about-town, Henry Conway.

Despite being on crutches, designer Amanda Wakeley also made an appearance at the event, as did actress Camilla Rutherford, Made in Chelsea star, Mille Mackintosh and Migi Drummond of 80s band, Curiosity Killed the Cat.

BEAUTY ACCORDING TO JAMES BROWN: THE FIVE HAIR RULES TO LIVE BY

James Brown

Although not a winner himself, celebrity hairstylist James Brown was on hand to pick up the Classic Beauty prize for his best friend, Kate Moss. Cornered by MailOnline, he agreed to reveal his top five hair tips exclusively to us. Wave goodbye to bad hair days!

1. 'Keep your hair simple; its easier for you and looks better.'

2. 'Practice makes perfect: it's the only way you'll get it right every time.'

3. 'After shampoo and conditioner, never use more than two products.'

4. 'Looks that require hair up work better with hair that hasn't been washed for a day.'

5. 'Use dry shampoo to freshen up your look and give texture to your hair. My James Brown London Dry Shampoo (£7.19, boots.com) is great for this.'

I don't get what the big fuss is over Kate moss.

99% of the time she looks nothing like that top picture. If I could airbrush photos of myself I could look pretty like I did in my twenties. What did they do to her right foot in that top photo? Besides she wears fur. That's ugly.

Kate Moss always looks amazing. Ironic then that her award was presented to Sadie Frost who always looks horrendous. As in the picture above. Hair dreadful. Dress ok but last season. Terribly ugly shoes. Hideous clunky necklace. No wonder she's a failed fashion designer then.

Kate Moss is nowhere near the same class as Yasmin Le Bon

They must be joking. I don't recall heroine chic ever being synonymous with ''classically glamorous.'' Her skin is terrible, her hair is terrible, her fur is terrible, and more times than not recently she is photographed looking strung out in what appears to be a homeless persons clothing.

Melissa Obadash needs to realise she is no longer 25. . There comes a time to leave the mini dresses alone!

Well if I got paid as much as these people, I would be glamorous too. But sadly wellies and hi vis jackets aren't very stylish on anyone.

Kate Moss always look amazing. Ironic then that Sadie Frost who without fail always looks absolutely flipping dreadful picked up her award. In this pic the dress is ok but the awful shoes and clunky necklace- yuk. AND she plays at being a designer herself! What a joke.

Are you sure that the award Kate Moss won, WASN'T for "the greatest amount of suffering inflicted on defenceless animals for the sake of fashion" award instead?
