The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTAs) are the British equivalent to the Oscars. Just like any award show there were celebrities out in full force. The show stopper of the evening was none other than Prince William, the new president of BAFTAs, who walked the red carpet with more cheering fans then the hottest Hollywood stars. He also presented the British Academy Fellowship award with Uma Thurman to Vanessa Redgrave.
Although film and television were the main focus of the evening the fashion statements of the evening seemed to take center stage. Some of the best dressed celebreties of the evening were Audrey Tautou in an amazing creation from Lanvin, Kate Winslet in Stella McCartney, Anna Kendrick in Emilio Pucci, and Vera Farmiga in Marchesa. Carey Mulligan, who is also an Oscar contender, really rocked the red carpet in an incredible black and white floral dress by The House of Vionnet. When asked how she was going to top this dress at the Oscars she said with a wink, “I would tell you…but that means I would have to, well, you know how the saying goes.”
If the dresses at the Oscars are a reflection of what was seen hear at the BAFTAs, then it will be a night of truly great fashion.
