They received a huge round of applause when taking the stage - and the performance so far is pretty legendary.

Gucci has just been handed a Special Recognition award or its 'We Will Always have London' campaign.
It's a campaign by Creative Director Sabato De Sarno, captured by photographer and activist, Nan Goldin.
The Fashion Awards says the campaign is a "bold tribute to London’s creative spirit and its profound influence on global fashion".

Dame Margaret Barbour, the chair of English brand Barbour, famous for its waxed cotton jackets, has just received the Special Recognition Award.
In her speech, she pays homage to her late husband, John.
"I'm very delighted to get this award," she says.
Dame Margaret was appointed to the Board of Directors of J Barbour & Sons in 1968 after the sudden death of her husband.
She's often credited for turning Barbour, a brand initially aimed at farmers and fisherman, into a fashion staple which is now sold in more than 55 countries worldwide.

The company was established by her late husband's great-grandfather, John Barbour, in 1894, and has since dressed royals and celebrities.
Dame Margaret designed the Bedale, the Beaufort and the Border Barbour jackets - which are said to have made the company a household name.
The Barbour Foundation has donated £29m to charitable causes, mainly in the North East - where Barbour was founded.

A few moments ago, star of UK Drag Race Bimini Bin Boulash sashayed down the red carpet.
Stopping to speak to the press gaggle about their ethereal Di Petsa cream look, Bimini exclaimed “I’m the stompiest witch that ever lived.”
Their favourite designer of all time? Punk legend Vivienne Westwood of course.
Although, it’s Madonna they really want to work with. She’s their favourite artist. “I’m still waiting on your call baby," they tease.
As 2024 winds to an end, it’s a time to reflect on fashion highs and lows. Asked about any outfit regrets, Bimini hoots “oh my God, go look on my Getty images".
Though ultimately, Bimini’s advice is to “own it” even if you look back and cringe. “I wanted to wear it at one point.”
Fashionably late, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have just arrived as the Fashion Awards are about to begin.
There were rumours for the past few hours that the couple would make an appearance, and now they've made their official entrance. Wearing a bold fascinator and opting for a pop of colour, no one is doing it like Rihanna.
A$AP Rocky is receiving the Cultural Innovator Award tonight.

Speaking to BBC News, Lucien Laviscount - known most recently for his role in the Netflix show Emily in Paris - says despite being a regular at the Fashion Awards, it's "just as nerve-racking as ever".
Wearing head-to-toe Dolce and Gabbana, he says he's recently been taking French lessons to help with his role in the show.
"I'm getting better, I'm trying," he says.

The inside of the Royal Albert Hall feels like a nightclub - without doubt the coolest one I’ve ever been to.
Bass is thudding and reflections from a giant disco ball cover the hall. It’s time for last minute snaps before the ceremony begins.

The corridors of the Royal Albert Hall are star studded to say the very least.
A-listers and designers are catching up outside their boxes, as we walk to find our seats for the evening. So far I’ve spotted the cast of the film Saltburn, One Day actress Ambika Mod and podcaster Elizabeth Day.
