BAFTA Awards 2010



Not nearly as glamourous or as exciting as the Oscars, this is the UK not Hollywood after all, however still worth reporting on. The BAFTAs fashion this year is what I would call "safe". Not one remotely outstanding dress, nothing really stood out to me as fabulous but on the other hand nothing stood out to me as completely dreadful.

Hits

I thought Anna Kendrick looked beautiful. Not the most flattering dress, or perhaps this isn't a great picture, but I loved the vibrant yellow and it was youthful. I'm not keen on girls wearing dresses made for 40 year olds.



Saoirse Ronan - she's 15?! Really?! Wow. She looks gorgeous here - beautiful dress. She could be 30 here though easily.



Romola Garai looks great here. Daring pattern compared to everyone else but she looks gorgeous.



Anne-Marie Duff looks positively blooming (don't you really hate that pregnancy term?). Radiant. Wish I'd looked a little like that when I was in the pudding club.



Joely Richardson looked beautiful, elegant and graceful.



Not an immediate fan of Claire Danes dress but wow, when did she become so elegant and grown-up?



Kristen Scott-Thomas looked nice, in a dress that was elegant and befitting of a lady of her age. Okay, that sounded like a backhanded crappy compliment but it was from the heart.



Audrey Tautou - a cross between Audrey Hepburn, Dynasty and Madonna's Material Girl but she does it well, exuding old school glamour.



Misses

I'm not a fan of this dress on Bonnie Wright. Sure she looks nice but a brighter colour would look better on her. This is a bit pale and washed out.



Smuggy McSmug Kate Winslet. I'm normally quite envious of her looks at awards ceremonies but I'm not keen on this at all.



Okay, I can see where Jaime Winston is going with this look and it's not that bad but something about the hair/make-up combo frightens me slightly.



Kristen Stewart, you look like you need a good wash. I actually like the dress but what's going on with the hair?



I know everyone is going to think this is lovely but I wish Carey Mulligan had worn something a little more young and funky. I like her and she does quirky well but this dress doesn't do it for me.



I'm not sure what to say about Kimberly Walsh. Dress has potential, ostrich around her neck, not so much.



Jane Goldman. Okay, it's her thing but just once I'd like to see her in a sassy, modern, kick-ass dress with a beautiful hairdo. Just once.



Trudie Styler wearing a Victoria Beckham creation. You could almost see VB wearing that couldn't you. I don't like it. Nuff said.



So there you have it. Did you have a favourite?

  1. I like the bright coloured print dress the best, none of the others stand out for me.

  2. Kate Winslet never looks good in black. Some of those people I have never heard of, I must live in a box!

  3. I did see the BAFTAs last night and whilst I missed the red carpet entrances I did catch most of those beautiful people. Agree entirely about Kristen Stewart's hair...what was going on there?! Also whilst unbelievably jealous of the Winslet Bod, she does not suit black does she? Loved Carey Mulligans' dress. Thought she looked divine...love her in fact. Great after show precis ;-)

  4. Loved Carey Mulligan's dress but would have liked it better if it was full length at the front too. Anne Marie Duff looked lovely and I rather liked Bonnie Wright's number but my favourite was Joely Richardson - fabulous!
