What is it about the BAFTAs and rain Hollywood royalty arrived at the Royal Opera House this evening with the task of navigating down the slushy, foamy red carpet in skyscrapers and couture. No easy task.
Marion Cotillard went for a bright yellow Dior gown (bien sur) fresh from the Spring 2013 couture runway. It’s a classic Dior strapless cut but is also bold and daring, and not just because of the electric colour, as it had an unusual cut-out on the upper thigh. Oo la la!
Anne Hathaway might have worn black Burberry, Amy Adams black Elie Saab and Samantha Barks black Celia Kritharioti, but several stars also went for bright popping colours. Jessica Chastain wore a bright blue Rouland Mouret gown, Andrea Risebrough opted for bright yellow Vivienne Westwood and Laura Bailey looked lovely in bright orange Roksanda Ilincic.
It’s no surprise that Jennifer Lawrence wore strapless Dior, but the shocker of the night was a toss up between Helen Mirren’s pink crop or Sarah Jessica Parker breaking the style rules by wearing an Elie Saab jumpsuit rather than a traditional floor sweeper.
So who do you think is the best dressed of the night Rising star nominee Elizabeth Olsen in Chanel Couture perhaps Marion Cotillard’s sunny couture J-Law’s nude embellished strapless Dior
