On 29 October 2001, Cher and fellow music guests arrived at London's Park Lane Hotel for the Q Awards. Twenty-five years later, these six photographs revisit the arrivals, with photographers gathered behind the red carpet and Q-branded barriers.
Cher poses in a grey blazer, white top and black trousers. Nicole and Natalie Appleton stand together in a photograph pairing a red-and-white fringed wrap with a long dark coat and cap. Donovan raises a hand towards the cameras as he walks along the carpet.
Paul Heaton arrives in sunglasses, a dark jacket and white shoes. Kevin Rowland wears a checked blazer, red tie and red trousers, while Ash are photographed outside among the arriving guests. The mix of tailoring, denim and coats gives the selection its early-2000s character.
The original captions place all six photographs at the Park Lane Hotel for the 2001 Q Awards and date them to 29 October. Together, they record the arrivals at a London music awards event, twenty-five years ago. All photographs are credited to Big Pictures Archive.
