Best and Worst Dressed at the BAFTAs 2014

Best Dressed

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Erm, wow. I don't know about you, but I'm taking some serious tips from this couple. Co-ordinating with your boyf is definitely in at the moment with this Saint Laurent and Valentino combo. Brad kept it sleek and suave and Angelina juxtaposed him perfectly with an open shirt, cigarette trousers and some skinny stilettos. Perfect!



Fearne Cotton
Forget the fact that Fearne Cotton is simply a Radio 1 DJ because this lady has serious style. I LOVED this gold embellished floor-length gown with sophisticated long sleeves and finishing off her look with oversized, luscious curls made me green with envy. 



Ruth Wilson
I spotted an awful lot of black at this year's BAFTAs  and so it was fabulous to see a bit of metallic donned by Ruth Wilson. Her ankle-length cigarette trousers with matching blazer and rouge trim ignited the red carpet and I loved her matching stilettos. 



Lea Seydoux
Woweee, Lea looks gorgeous in midnight blue Prada. The bust embellishments are super sassy, but the sleeves add a touch of class. Chiffon can often ruin an outfit, but with this gown it adds an ethereal feel. Those Hollywood curls are to die for. 



Olga Kurylenko
Flawless former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko opted for a stunning Burberry piece last night. A deep V is softened with a bandeau attachment and the bottom half of the skirt is composed of red snakeskin-style glittered sequins. 





Amy Adams
Ever the classic beauty, Amy Adams struck gold in Victoria Beckham last night. Complimenting her in all the right places, the high neck, subtle sheer sections and fitted bottom half looked fabulous. I love her low side bun and plum lipstick too!



Michelle Rodriguez 
Leather elements are a massive winner and I am loving Michelle's choice this weekend. The dark turquoise parts of the dress fuse with the leather perfectly ribboned at several points and Rodriguez finishes off her look with loose waves and a solid clutch. 



Tinie Tempah
Tinie looked fabulous in his velvet suit with matching shoes! Next time though, try not to high-five Prince William during the ceremony, that's just embarrassing. 




Leonardo Di Caprio 
*SWOON* How suave does Leo look in his Giorgio Armani suit? Perfectly quaffed hair and  some shiny shoes are all this actor needs to look utterly flawless. 






Worst Dressed

Lily Allen
Vivenne Westwood is known for her quirky pieces and I really did love the variety of colour to Allen's choice. However the pink hair piece to accompany the gown cheapened the otherwise sophisticated silk. Sorry Lily!


Tuppence Middleton
Another silk piece to make its way into my worst dressed list is this one worn by the unfortunately named Tuppence. The actress' night gown-esque dress went with gaudy matching handbag in insipid baby pink and I wasn't keen on the array of ruffles that situated themselves on her left side. 


Helen Mirren
Despite the fact that slight ruffles, embellishments and sheer panelling are very much in at the moment, combining them makes for an eyesore. Mirren might have received a distinctive award last night, but there are no prizes in store for this gown. 



Gwendoline Christie 
Hey Gwendoline, are you cold?! The Game of Thrones actress looked looked slightly chilly on the red carpet with this dress and matching cape. Yes, that's right, a cape. Is hatred too strong a word? I do love to see a lady of fair complexion however...

Fearne Cotton Opts for Bubblegum Bob This Christmas

Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton has had a lot to celebrate this year. From the announcement of her engagement to long-term boyfriend Jesse Wood, to the birth of her son Rex, what better way to close her year than to go for a brand new hair colour. 



The 32 year-old released a cute Instagram selfie on Friday showing her newly trimmed candy-coloured  locks with the caption "Thanks @itslyndell for my Christmas hair!!! ". 




(above: the style she opted for 2 years ago)


The style icon had her hair styled into a long bob yet the look is not a new one for the star. Two years previous she decided to dye it a similar colour tweeting "May have had my hair dyed light pinkish. One day left of my 20s. Had to do it. Regress. I am 15 again!"

This is definite hairspiration Fearne, I'm loving it. Other stars to think pink are Katy Perry and Little Mix's Perrie Edwards. 


Katy Perry

Remember Pop princesses' prissy stage? Perry looked fabulous with her faded pastel pink hair and I love her 1940's curls here 



Perrie Edwards

Button-faced Little Mix member Perrie Edwards is known for getting bored of her hair styles, for a fleeting moment this year she opted for a baby pink with a more vibrant dip-dye on the ends of her locks. 



Helen Mirren 
The legendary actress stunned at this year's BAFTAs when she stepped onto the red carpet with a subtle tinge to her hair. High five Helen! 



Kelly Osbourne

Pink doesn't work for everyone however, as Kelly Osbourne demonstrated with this disaster back in 2011. Take note ladies, this is not the way to do it.
