Another Red Carpet: BAFTA Awards

I've really been enjoying this year's awards ceremonies, particularly for the red carpet fashion. Today the BAFTA (British Academy of Film & Television Arts) Awards were held in London, England, and although they weren't televised here in Canada, the good old interwebs kept us up to date. Check out my faves below (click on photos to enlarge and zoom in for details).

Amy Adams in Lanvin.

Simple, sleek, stunning!

Reese Witherspoon in Stella McCartney.

The deep purple seems appropriate for British royalty.

Julianne Moore in Tom Ford.

She looks amazing in this dress, and it's appropriate for the cold London temps.

Jenna Coleman in ??

I don't know her, but she looks beautiful, and this dress is possibly my favourite.

This shade of pale lavender gets me every time.

For a change, I'm including the gents in this little fashion roundup, since they really brought their fashion A-Game to the BAFTA Awards red carpet.

Michael Keaton.

Love the charcoal grey jacket, and check out those velvet loafers.

David Beckham in Tom Ford.
He's not an actor, so I'm not sure why he's there, but I'm gonna let it slide...

Douglas Booth.
I don't know him, but I like that he took a minty green velvet fashion risk.

Emmy Dresses: My Pretty Picks

I love to watch Hollywood awards pre-shows just to see the what the stars are wearing as they arrive on the red carpet. It's a total guilty pleasure, but I know I'm not the only one who does it! What I find most interesting about my picks for best dresses is how each one is so different from the next. It certainly makes it hard to spot a trend!

My top 5 faves:

Kate Winslet in Elie Saab.
The fit of this dress is impeccable!

Elisabeth Moss in Marchesa.
The beading on this dress is so feminine and pretty!

Katie Holmes in Calvin Klein.
I love the simplicity of this dress, it's classic Calvin.

Jennifer Westfeldt in a vintage dress.
Such a fabulous colour, and the belt makes it sing!

Claire Danes in Oscar de la Renta.
This dress reminds me of a cubist Picasso piece.

What were your Emmy red carpet favourites?

Colour Trends at the Golden Globes

Sunday night's Golden Globes were a great way to kick off the Hollywood awards season. My favourite part of the evening are the red carpet arrivals, where celebrities come to strut their stuff in style. There was much less black on the red carpet than in years past, and more fabulous colour!!. Two of the hottest trends: Green and Pink (my current colour crush).

See which stars were Glamorous in Green and which looked Pretty in Pink:

Angelina Jolie in Versace

Elisabeth Moss in Donna Karan

Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

My Vote for Best Dressed:
Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection
