BAFTA Awards 2012 Red Carpet – Part ONE

Posted on Feb 13, 2012 in Fashion

Darlings, it was that BAFTAs! That wacky British awards ceremony where they all use the “loo” and spell “realize” with an s! Let’s rip their dresses anyway!

Alycia Lane

A pretty great dress poorly served by bland shoes and a necklace that doesn’t go with it.

Berenice Marlohe

Simple, but it works.

Brad Pitt in Gucci

Why, Mr. Brad. You look downright suave tonight.

Christina Hendricks in Vivienne Westwood

Clearly, the babyheads poking out of her dress have driven her mad.

Christina Ricci in Givenchy Couture

Disco fabulous. Let’s all do a rail in the ladies room as a salute to this dress.

Colin Firth in Giorgio Armani and Livia Giuggioli in Sir Paul Smith

His and Hers tuxes can be too cutesy for words most of the time, but this works. It helps that they’re both so naturally chic. However, we don’t love her shoes and we shudder to think what she might be carrying in that clutch.

Edith Bowman

Too precious.

Elizabeth McGovern

This is an improvement over recent red carpet appearances. Also a slight improvement on resisting the tuck-in-the-chin-and-smile-with-the-mouth-closed pose, which only serves to make her look batshit insane.

Gillian Anderson

She looks like, if we lifted her up, there’d be some appliance or household item cleverly hidden underneath her.

Holliday Grainger

She has the exact skin tone to make this dress look ethereal and romantic. On anyone else, the effect would be greatly reduced, if not totally lost.

Jessica Chastain in Oscar de la Renta

It’s pretty goddess-y and we don’t love the shoes, but she looks great.

Joanne Froggatt

Surprisingly simple, since she likes to shed her housemaid image when she goes out and tends toward sexy, slightly showy looks. Hair and makeup look great; questionable shoes.

Jon Hamm

Perfect. He looks like a cologne ad.

Naomie Harris in Emilio Pucci

Gorgeous.

Penelope Cruz in Armani Prive

It’s the boob-in-a-box dress.

Tilda Swinton in Celine

Fucking love this bitch.

Viola Davis in Valentino

Girl, that’s not your color. It’s okay on you, but not our favorite. Also, the makeup looks harsh.

OMG–Tilda looks like she has a little Meryl Streep head growing in her shoulder? Wouldn’t that be fabulous and just so very Tilda if it were true?

  And did they drop the hem at the last minute and forget to iron it? What’s that fold across her shins?

    Looking at it again, it looks like it might be a satin inset and the fold might be a seam. Not sure, though, I’d have to see another pix.

    It does look like a seam–between two fabrics of the same color but deffernt textures. The bottom piece looks shinier. Which makes this outfit even better!

  Now I’m going to brand myself as a SciFi geek, but that picture brought back misty memories of Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky” and Robert Miller’s “A Canticle for Leibowitz”. Someone should write another classic SciFi novel with Tilda as the main character.

    OMG! As another SciFi geek (and proud of it) your comment totally made my day. Yes,Tilda’s aesthetic definitely lends itself to some marvelous future where Planet Swinton, filled with glorious Tilda-creatures (sporting amazing hair and gowns made of strands of solar flare matter) glides into earth’s orbit and mystically transports all those in need of style makeovers to an ice cave . . . Aaaanyway, Tilda FTW, with Ms. Ricci a close second.

Christina Hendrick is looking bat shit crazy. She really does love her boobage doesn’t she? John, always perfection. Have we seen him do it wrong, ever? Holliday for the win here.
- Lori
  
  I’m starting to think someone seriously needs to have an intervention with Christina. Her body is not that difficult to dress. It’s not easy, but it’s not half as hard as she makes it seem, which means that the problem is with her not with her girls. There is just no good reason for her to leave the house looking like such BSC crap.

    She could do worse than to try to emulate Sophia Loren.

    I want to beg her to call Octavia Spencer’s people. Or Queen Latifah’s. Or anyone else- this is tragic, and she is working with TOO much natural God-given gorgeousness to be so poorly served.

  Why is it that, when left to her own devices, she always looks so bad?? She’s gorgeous, but either she or whoever dresses her has no clue how to dress her figure. Christina, fire your stylist. NOW.

  It was nice of Helena BC to share her hairdresser with Christina. They both looked like they’d just climbed out of bed, gotten caught in a rain/wind storm and fixed their hair in the limo without a comb, brush or mirror.

Tilda’s hair these days just looks beyond awful to me — but maybe it just personally triggers scary 80s flashbacks.

I’d say that Mrs. Firth was carrying a good old fashioned vibrator in that clutch, but I seriously doubt if she needs one.

I’m giving this round to Christina Ricci for the win. The way she continues to impress when dressing that bitty body is something else.

Hmm. What does it say about me that, given the choice between this post and the Grammys one, I opened this first? Great comments (poor tea cosy) but I also love the ensemble of all these looks–just a general trend towards classy simplicity. Though I guess Naomi Harris has the most complicated dress and she looks amazing. But for once I would have liked to be there to admire these in person.
Anonymous

Naomie Harris looks like she’s playing toilet paper bride. Hate, hate the bodice on that thing.

Re: Mrs. Firth, I adore that clutch. So green & sparkly! The buckles on the shoes are a bit heavy given the sleekness of the suit, but I think they’re okay. I didn’t realize Mr. Firth was allowed to wear anyone other than Tom Ford in public anymore. This tux actually looks better on him than some of the Ford ones he’s worn, but is it me, or is his hem a little high? Maybe it’s just the lighting in the picture.

the boobs-in-a-box comment made me laugh, but i think cruz looks great!
im imagining the lesbian wedding of cruz & swinton, both looking exactly like they do here.

  me too (on PC). That color is incredible on her. But she’s missing her best accessory (and that would be Mr. Cruz of course)

  Cruz looked stunning – that color was gorgeous on her – but the bodice of the dress was just weird. Or it didn’t fit. Or something.
  I would like to be invited to that wedding though.

Is Joanne Frogatt the only Downton cast member allowed to have a stylist? Because she is the only one I see consistently knocking it out of the park. No idea who Berenice Marlohe is but she looks so chic – I love it! And it makes me sad that Christina Hendricks just cannot seem to dress well outside of tv/movies; I saw Drive last weekend and even though she was playing a moll she still looked better than any time I’ve seen her IRL.

Oh Christina Hendricks we all know you have great boobs now cover them for a change, also that growth on her hip makes her look even wider than usual.

What’s going on with the bottom of the Swinton’s dress. There’s a big crease in it! Or am I totally missing something?

  The bottom several inches are a different fabric. To my eyes the dress looks like its mostly crepe, and the hem is satin.

Tilda for the win! LOVE that dress.

Everytime I see Colin Firth in a tuxedo I become instantly libidinous and shed at least 30 years. Does anyone wear a tux better than he does? Livia looks great but I agree on the shoes and the clutch.

Jon Hamm — yummy. Brad Pitt finally and totally won me over with “Moneyball” so suddenly I’m that blinded fan-broad. I.e., he looks great whether or not I really think so.

Viola Davis needs the TLo private consultation to bring out her eternal inner diva.

I’ve had a schoolgirl crush on Brad Pitt since “Thelma and Louise” and this reinforces why. The dude is almost 50 and he’s still smokin’ hot (and not in a daddy-issues way like George Clooney).

Christina really needs to put her boobs away, when she wears these low cut or strapless dressesall we see are boobs. a high cut or scoop neck would be so much better.

I’m thankful that Colin Firth and Jon Hamm never appear in the same picture. I would have to call for the paramedics. Brad Pitt will never look suave, not until he gets rid of that filthy hair. I’m glad to see Elizabeth McGovern has recovered, but now it’s time for a new makeup artist. And Tilda scores again with the perfect look. She is amazing.

Aside from the fact that

Gillian Anderson needs to stop spray-tanning. It does not go well with the shade of blond she’s currently sporting.

  I do enjoy that she chose an unusual color and texture, and that she accessorized with silver instead of gold, but … The design of the gown sure isn’t helped by how sharp and angular she is now.

Lots of pretty here, which one expects from the British, no?

Gillian Anderson looks like something our of mu mother-in-law’s bell collection, that dress is so stiff.

I am increasingly unhappy about the trend of letting gowns puddle on the floor like drapes. Saw a lot of puddling gowns at the Grammys as well. Please, people! Find someone to hem your skirts!

I love both disco-shiny dresses. Chastain would have had the win but she killed it with that busy necklace. You don’t need jewels around your neck competing with the shiny dress. Ricci accessorized better with the earrings. Swinton’s gnarly toes touching the red carpet – ewww. Love her dress but the feet are ruining it. Holliday Grainger (who?) is perfection. She does look like a Sargent painting, as someone noted earlier. I think Elizabeth McGovern looks pretty darn great and is much improved. Joanne Froggatt also looks very chic. Love the color of Naomie’s dress but the bodice is giving me a headache. Love Viola’s dress, especially the color, but her overall look isn’t quite working. Maybe it’s the hair.

This is the best I’ve ever seen Jon Hamm look when he isn’t playing Don Draper. And Brad does look suave.

Christina Hendricks is tragic. Actually, she’s gone past tragic and is just annoying now. It really shouldn’t be that hard to look halfway decent on the RC. But she gets it spectacularly wrong almost every time. I’m starting to think it’s by choice. As long as the babyheads (snort! love that) are on display, that’s all she cares about.

Where’s the waistline on Christina Hendricks’ dress? Is it a blouson? And does her dress really have the one capped sleeve? So many questions.

Brad Pitt looks better, but he won’t look suave until he cuts his hair. Colin Firth, on the other hand, is the personification of suave. And while you may fucking love the bitch Tilda, I love the fucking bitch!

Gotta add points to Viola Davis for wearing recycled-plastic-bottles fabric (as did Fassbender?).
Also, a better venue/occasion for a bright color like this than at the Oscar nominees’ luncheon — thought that one was kind of poor etiquette for a group photo, sorry.

You know, I think Christina Ricci looks incredible. talk about your basic glitz-and-glam…

And Naome Harris…simply beautiful!!!

I have to take issue with TLo’s Viola Davis verdict… I think she looks gorgeous. It might not be the PERFECT color on her, but it does look really really good on her. Yes, her makeup is a little strong,but I love the style on her. She looks terrific!

Meanwhile, I’m gonna go sigh over Colin Firth AND Jon Hamm…scrumptious. simply scrumptious!!!

You know, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, so if either of these gentlemen would like to show up on my doorstep…I’ll even forgo the red bow! (How’s that for generosity??? I’m so good…)

I’ve never really found Brad Pitt attractive. He looks better than he has recently, but he still looks like he could use a good wash.

I didn’t think Christina looked all that bad on TV last night, but the dark background isn’t doing her any favours. Yes it’s a bit boobs on a platter, but I’ve seen her looking a lot worse. The hair needs help though.

Likewise I really thought Penelope Cruz looked fabulous.

I saw a great pic of Jessica Chastain on the red carpet from a bit of a distance with the wind catching the dress. She looked fantastic in it.

Looking forward to the next batch. I was watching it last night anticipating these posts

I haven’t gone through all the comments, so maybe someone already asked about this: What is going on with those shoes Jon Hamm is wearing? They kind of look like loafers with little silver tassels and silver studs on the side.

I know I need a new prescription for my glasses, but I’ve looked at those shoes now a couple of times, and they still look odd (though not unattractive) to me.

So – a particularly windy red carpet combined with rubbish hairspray? a romp in the limo?

I just figured out what Gillian Anderson reminds me of. The skirt certainly looks stiff enough.
