Madonna was presented with her award by artist Tracey Emin Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and designer Stella McCartney put together a video tribute to the 46-year-old performer which saw them wear some of her most famous outfits, reports the BBC.
Paltrow wore a gold conical bodice and had her hair scooped to the top of her head, while McCartney donned a raspberry pink dress.
The pair sat on a bed with bare-chested men perched at the end, with Paltrow saying: "She's made it okay to be sexual as a woman."
Madonna said: "It means a lot to me that so many nice things have been said about me and that I have been voted into the UK Hall of Fame."
Bono was there to pick up U2's award from Dennis Hopper, while Elvis Presley's ex-wife Priscilla picked up his gong. Queen pair Brian May and Roger Taylor were presented with their award by the band's number one fan The Darkness's Justin Hawkins.
Also on hand to accept awards were Bob Marley's widow Rita and The Rolling Stones's Ronnie Wood. Ironically, although they were the nomination for the 60s, Wood didn't join the band until 1975.
