Another year, another glorious Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, powered by Jaguar.

And for our class of 2025, what a wonderful bunch. From the likes of Scissor Sisters to Tiara Skye, Gok Wan, Tom Allen and more, we celebrated 12 different winners who’ve achieved all sorts of wonderful things this year.

See below for the full list of 2025 Attitude Awards winners.

Man of the Year, supported by Virgin Atlantic – Russell Tovey

Russell Tovey has navigated multiple worlds: stage, screens big and small, and the public gaze – all while staying true to himself. His work as actor, advocate and public figure has made him a role model: honest, vulnerable, powerful.

The Ally Award – Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minogue has been a true friend to the LGBTQ+ community ever since she stepped into
the spotlight in the 90s. Whether it’s performing at Mardi Gras, presenting queer dating TV hits I Kissed a Boy — and I Kissed a Girl — or speaking up for the community as a spokesperson for Terrence Higgins Trust, or advocating for the Rainbow Shoelaces Project, she’s an ally we know we can count on.

The Drag Award – Tiara Skye

Is there a gay in the UK who has yet to see a sassy Tiara Skye video on their social feed? The recipient of this year’s Drag Award is the self-styled “street walker/queer talker” video sensation who brings a hefty dose of attitude to UK pavements

The Honorary Gay Award, supported by Jaguar – Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley has long been a glamourous constant in pop culture, but her legacy in LGBTQ+ spheres runs deeper than red carpets. Her support, outspokenness and presence in moments that matter, both in and out of fashion and film, show how glamour and grace can stand beside courage and conviction.

The Icon Award, supported by Virgin Atlantic – Scissor Sisters

The Scissor Sisters, the queer bohemians of pop, are back — and it’s like they never
went away. Celebrating their triumphant return to the stage and the 20th anniversary of
their self-titled debut album, their comeback has been a queer music highlight of 2025.

The Creator’s Award, supported by Jaguar – Campbell Addy

Fashion photographer, photojournalist, artist — Campbell Addy might be the ultimate multihyphenate. We chat to the creative genius about photographing Edward Enninful, Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé and his tips for managing mental health.

The Book Award – Luke Evans

One of the few people to now have two Attitude Awards trophies, Luke Evans — previously Man
of the Year in 2020 — returns to the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, powered by Jaguar,
this time taking the Book Award for his deeply personal memoir, Boy from the Valleys

The Inspiration Award – The Williams Family

After The Vivienne’s sudden death earlier this year, the Williams family are paying tribute to the much-loved queen by joining the battle against addiction.

The Comedy Award – Tom Allen

From hosting The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice to The Apprentice: You’re Fired to guesting on countless panel shows, Tom Allen is rarely off our TV screens. Whether with a mischievous wink or delivered as an outright shocker, his slick brand of comedy is as sharp as his dress sense.

The Icon Award – Gok Wan

Stylist, TV presenter, radio broadcaster, DJ and a champion of authentic Chinese dining, the multi-talented Gok Wan is a worthy winner of an Attitude Icon Award.

The Style Award – Dominic Skinner

As well as painting faces for fashion’s finest, makeup maestro Dominic Skinner is a regular presence on our TV screens, thanks to BBC Three’s junior makeup artist competition, Glow Up.

BBC TV show What It Feels Like for a Girl, based on the memoir by former Attitude staffer Paris Lees, is one of the most powerful examples of trans representation on screen in living memory.
