Taylor Momsen wrestled some of the spotlight away from big winners You me At Six on Thursday evening as she made an appearance at the annual Kerrang! Awards in London.

The Pretty Reckless singer was on hand to collect the award for Hottest Female at the event, supported by Staritsky & Levitsky Vodka, at art deco theatre The Troxy and she caught the eye after arriving with her bandmates.

Taylor, 20, opted for a grungy statement T-shirt bearing the blunt message Freedom is a Lie as she posed for photos backstage, matching it with a pair of tight leather trousers and chunky platform boots

With her heavy make-up and vacant stare Taylor looked markedly different to Jenni Humphries, the comparatively wholesome character she played in former US teen drama Gossip Girl.

Other big winners on the night included Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack, who claimed the gong for Hottest Male, and British band Architects – winners of the Best Album award for Lost Forever // Lost Together.

HBO show Game Of Thrones also got a nod on the night by laiming the award for Best TV Show.

But it was You Me At Six and Gerard Way who proved to be the top winners at the ceremony on Thursday evening.

The British rock band walked away with two prizes for Best British Band and Best Single for Fresh Start Fever, while the former My Chemical Romance frontman, 37, bagged the Kerrang! Hero Award, as well as being named Tweeter Of The Year for the second year running.

Fall Out Boy led the way for the US after they picked up the Best Event prize for their Save Rock And Roll Tour as well as winning the gong for the Best International Band.

Meanwhile, Australian boy band 5 Seconds Of Summer - consisting of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin - scooped the Best International Newcomer Award following a successful year of touring.

They said at the event: 'Winning Best International Newcomer is a real honour for us, all of our idols are in this magazine - thank you to everyone at Kerrang!. We can't be more grateful for this, it means a lot to us.'

This year's Kerrang! Icon Award went to the Ramones and punk legend Marky Ramone, 57, took to the stage to collect the trophy on behalf of the band.

Presenters at the event, which was held at at London's Troxy, included The Midnight Beast, Young Guns, Skindred, Rolo Tomassi and Mallory Knox.
