Helen Mirren In Nicholas Oakwell Couture – 2013 BAFTA Awards

Dame Helen Mirren joined the ranks of hair chameleon Katy Perry and lavender-loving Kelly Osbourne with her shocking new ‘do, which she debuted at the 2013 BAFTA Awards on Sunday at the Royal Opera House in London, England.

To go with her hair, the Leading Actress nominee chose a long-sleeve gown from the Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2013 Couture runway.

Featuring floral embroidery, the chiffon dress was somewhat weighed down with its heavy lining and that shiny silver wrap. But at least she didn’t up her BAFTAs surprise factor even more by wearing the gown in its original, see-through runway incarnation.

It didn’t really matter what she had on, though, as her cotton-candy pixie cut was the main attraction.

She quoted ‘America’s Next Top Model’ as her inspiration behind the hair hue. My jaw is still on the floor.

Known for her classic grace on the red carpet, this was quite the scandalous departure for Helen.

She certainly gave the fellow Nicholas-Oakwell-outfitted Paloma Faith a run for her money in the hair department.

Zawe Ashton In Julien Macdonald – 2013 BAFTA Awards

Zawe Ashton exudes a strong rebel chic vibe at the 2013 BAFTA Awards held at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday.

I’m usually a big fan of the Zawe’s red carpet choices, but I can’t get behind this busy Julian McDonald Spring 2012 number.

The all-over embroidery and sheer skirted bottom on this gown induced some serious detail overkill; which had the actress looking a touch too theatrical on the red carpet.

Perfect for the Grammys, not so much on a cold rainy night in London for the BAFTAs.

Laura Bailey In Roksanda Illinic – 2013 BAFTA Awards

Laura Bailey joined Marion Cotillard and Andrea Riseborough in their attempts to lift the gloomy weather by donning a zesty colour on the red carpet at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday evening for the 2013 BAFTA Awards.

Braving the rain and the cold, she wore a bright red Roksanda Ilincic Resort 2013 sleeveless gown.

The gown may not have the pizzazz of Marion or Andrea’s gown, but for those who love the minimalist approach to red carpet dressing this look is sure to delight.

A Christopher Kane embellished clutch and emerald earrings completed her look.

You can buy Laura’s Roksanda Ilincic gown from farfetch US and farfetch.com.

Jennifer Lawrence In Christian Dior Couture – 2013 BAFTA Awards

‘Silver Linings Playbook’ starlet Jennifer Lawrence attended the 2013 BAFTA Awards on Sunday, hosted at the Royal Opera House in London.

The current face of Miss Dior, she naturally chose a Christian Dior Couture design for the affair, although chilly, rainy environs necessitated a long overcoat that initially clouded the red-carpet arrival of the gown.

Once she removed the dark wrap in the press room, a strapless, ballet pink confection emerged, where a waterfall of iridescent sequin embellishment added a note of radiance.

With the gown’s sparkle, Jennifer skipped a necklace in favour of a long, geometric pendant earring.

A strong smoky eye and severely swept-back hair finished this look.

The Leading Actress nominee has lately had a rough go of it on red carpets, battling illness and some rather ill-suited sartorial statements.

With this more glamorous and girly exit from Jennifer, she continues to show she’s a red-carpet wild card. Was this look an ace for you or not?

Sally Field In Antonio Berardi – 2013 BAFTA Awards

Sally Field is the one star during awards season whose red carpet style has been hard to predict.

On Sunday she took to the red carpet at the Royal Opera House in London for the 2013 BAFTA Awards wearing an Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 gown with De Beers jewels.

With a conservative plunge and a flattering fit, Sally’s anthracite grey gown with lace macramé panel detailing couldn’t be more age, season and weather appropriate.

Like most stars at this event Sally kept accessories to a minimum, opting to carry the must have accessory at this rain soaked event – a brolly.

Thandie Newton In Louis Vuitton-2013 BAFTA Awards

Thandie Newton must have been in a seductive mood, as she hit the red carpet at Sunday’s 2013 BAFTA Awards, held at London’s Royal Opera House.

The British actress followed the lace trend with her black Louis Vuitton halter gown.

She also capitalized on that frequently seen thigh-high slit, not to mention the sheer and solid obsession, as the itty bitty LBD was overlaid with see-through laciness.

Thandie paired the dress with a black handbag and gold Art-Deco-inspired earrings.

A bold red lip and tightly wound, side-swept curls finished this vamp-star look, although the overall effect may have translated more sleekly with a simple updo.
