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.

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

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.

Golden Globes Red Carpet Arrivals: What I Loved

I like to form opinions about my favourite red carpet fashions before the mainstream media gets in my ear so that I stay true to my own sense of style. Hence, I'm quick out of the gate today with my choices for best of the red carpet. I love that there was a lot of colour on the Golden Globes carpet - in particular I have a soft spot for the yellows. Of course metallics always work for awards season, and the neutral black & whites are always crowd pleasers. Here's what I loved on this first big red carpet of the Hollywood awards season.

Naomi Watts in bold chartreuse.

Column dress by Gucci.

 Leslie Mann shines in sunny yellow.

Sequin dress by KAUFMANFRANCO.

Flowing gown by Carolina Herrera.

Felicity Jones chose a rich teal.

Gorgeous traditional gown by Christian Dior.

 Sienna Miller wears a beaded & embroidered blush.

Most visually interesting dress  by Miu Miu.

 

Emma Stone mixes metallic & black.

Jumpsuit by Lanvin.

 

 Jennifer Anniston in classic black (that fits beautifully).

Sequin Halter by Saint Laurent.

I wasn't going to name the worst dresses, but these are just too tempting!

Claire Danes in Valentino. Ugh.

Keira Knightley in Chanel. Double Ugh.
