The 2012 BAFTA's Green Carpet
Dear Readers,
With only one week to go before the Oscars, I thought we'd review this year's BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards. In contrast to the colourful Golden Globes and last year's BAFTAs, the BAFTAs this year were, for the most part, a black-and-white affair, similar to the SAG Awards' red carpet. Any Academy Awards colour predictions??! There was another interesting and 'colourful' trend at the BAFTAs - a few celebrities were going green with eco-friendly and sustainable designs!
Before we take a trip across the pond, let's have a look at my favs from the BAFTA Tea Party in Los Angeles:
Felicity Jones in Dolce & Gabbana I love the shape & colour
Bérénice Bejo in Elie Saab
Emilia Clarke cute shoes!
Penelope Ann Miller
Lena Headey in Collette Dinnigan
Michelle Williams in Victoria by Victoria Beckham cute, but still not wow, Michelle
Victoria Summer
Ahna O'Reilly she just needed better undergarments...
Ariel Winter
Viola Davis this colour is amazing on her!
Andrea Riseborough in Escada
Claire Holt I LOVE the turquoise/purple combo!
Elizabeth McGovern in Azagury is it a little too retro?
Jane Seymour looking ravishing in red
Stana Katic in Valentino very pretty
cool girl Evan Rachel Wood in Roland Mouret
Shailene Woodley in Jason Wu
Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Escada
the lovely Charlize Theron in Stella McCartney
And now for my BAFTA red carpet favourites:
Jessica Chastain in Oscar de la Renta she finally wowed me! she also looked lovely in Alexander McQueen at the Elle Style Awards!
Tilda Swinton in Céline sleek & simple
Kristen Wiig in Alberta Ferretti
Berenice Marlohe in Dior
Myanna Buring
Olivia Williams in Vivienne Westwood a tad matronly, but pretty
Michelle Williams in custom H&M Conscious Collection I still think you could do better, Michelle
Gary Oldman & Alexandra Edenborough
she looks gorgeous!
Elizabeth McGovern inAzagury
Melissa George in Victoria Beckham
Joanne Froggatt in Victoria Beckham slipping out of her Downton Abbey maids uniform into a super sexy lbd
Claudia Winkleman in Ossie Clark
Jessica Brown Findlay in Alessandra Rich it's interesting, but she's such a pretty girl & could have worn something way more flattering
mama-to-be Elsa Pataky
Alycia Lane
Colin Firth in Giorgio Armani & Livia Firth continuing her Green Carpet Challenge in Paul Smith
Bonnie Wright in Vintage minus the tights, it's cute...for the Tea Party
Francesca Gardiner
Gemma Chan
Laura Bailey in Chanel it's kind of all-over-the-place, but I still like it
Viola Davis in a Valentino's 1st ever'eco gown,' made from recycled plastic bottles
Fearne Cotton in Moschino love this colour!
Emma Watson in Valentino
John Hurt & Ann Rees Meyers
she looks lovely
Penelope Cruz in Armani Privé pretty, but boring
Poppy Delevigne
Bérénice Bejo in Azzedine Alaia Haute Couture
Rebecca Wang how does this dress stay up??!
Shailene Woodley in Dolce & Gabbana all sweetness & light
Holliday Grainger in Valentino very pretty
James Corden & Julia Carey
Gillian Anderson in Sybil Connolly interesting...
Naomie Harris in Pucci she looks like a goddess
Cristina Ricci in Givenchy Couture
Jonathan Rhys Meyers & Reena Hammer showing some leg!
Dawn Porter & Chris O'Dowd
official BAFTA red carpet host, Miss Piggy,in custom Louis Vuitton
Here's a clip ofmy favourite, Miss Piggy,hosting the BAFTAs red carpet:
And here's a funny moment from the show for all of us who don't live in the UK & missed it:
What fantastic and thorough coverage of the BAFTA's...love this!!! So glad I stumbled upon your lovely fashion blog...what great looks, and you have to love Miss Piggy! :)
Andrea Riseborough is a silver screen goddess transported to the present day. Absolutely gets it right every time. And who knew Joanne Froggatt was so completely stunning? Further proof that Mrs Beckham DOES know how to design a good dress xx
My fave was probably Holliday Greinger! She looks fab!! Soo many nice dresses.. :) Following you now! Would you like to follow back, on GFC or bloglovin'? :) Much love, Gabriele.xx
Amazing looks selection! Shailene wooldley and Emma watson's red carpet looks are to die for!!! Definitely my fav! ^ xxx S http://s-fashion-avenue.blogspot.com/

Wow! This is quite a hard decision to make by choosing the best among all these gorgeous gowns don't you think? But my eyes keep going back to this particular dress worn on Charlize Theron by Stella McCartney. Such gorgeous color and cut.
So many gorgeous looks in this post...love it. I'm following, hope you can stop by soon and follow if you like.
