Best Dressed of the Weekend: BAFTAs & Grammys Edition

Better late than never, right? I have been away for the weekend and travelling back to London today and this post was at the top of my to-do list. Let's put wi-fi on all British trains soon, shall we? It has been a great weekend in terms of style. Both the BAFTAs and the Grammys took place last night. Despite it being a sad day because our dear Whitney passed away both ceremonies carried on (show must go on and all that) and delivered excellent moments on the red carpet.
Adele was the absolute winner of the night at the Grammys. Not only she won 6 of the best awards (woopey!) but she looked absolutely incredible in a Giorgio Armani gown. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this. The subtle details of the dress – dark embellished crystals in a kaleidoscopic patters, a black belt at the waist and a chiffon layer – were exactly what she needed. That, added to the stunning hair and make up really took me back to the times of old Hollywood glamour. She also looked a lot slimmer and radiant. And she slipped into a similarly amazing Burberry Prorsum gown for the rest of the night. She must feel on top of the world today!
Also in Giorgio Armani was the second best dressed at the Grammys. Rihanna, in her new sloppy-dyed blonde hairdo, looked absolutely ravishing in her black dress. The deep V neckline and slit created a really interested symmetry and I loved her gold accessories. But the best, I must say, were her eyes – that eye make up is a winner!

The BAFTAs always tend to be a bit more quiet fashion-wise. They're always quite close to the Oscars and I guess neither nominees nor designers want to make too much noise and keep the WOW-moments for later in the month. And yet we still had a few amazing moments.
First on my list is Christina Ricci in Givenchy Haute Couture. It's hard with all-gold gowns because you can go either way. Luckily, this number had been in the more than capable hands of Riccardo Tisci, who  created the half ruffled half gathered detail at the waist that made the dress a winner. I am so glad to see her back in the scene and doing so well.
Almost neck and neck with Ricci is Tilda Swinton who once again stood out from the crowd. This time in a white Céline dress. I have been missing this brand on the red carpet for months. Hopefully, Phoebe Philo will be able to get back to business once she pops her perfect offspring off. Tilda's look was, as always, very slick with a je-ne-sais-quoi going on. She also had awesome hair. If I were I woman I'd like my hair to look like that.

Best dressed of the weekend: BAFTAs

I was originally planning a bigger BAFTAs edition of the 'Best dressed of the week post' but most attendees didn't try very hard. Emma Watson, in Valentino, looked slightly off with a very old hair style that didn't do her any good. Emma Stone, in that Lanvin Karlie wore, was on the right track but there was a something missing. And everyone else, except Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann, looked either too plain, too slutty or too dressed. Apart from these three ladies below, that is.

Julianne Moore made up from her bad GG look by looking ravishing in a cobalt blue velvet Tom Ford (?). The wavy tied-back hair and the red lips and light makeup were as perfect as the subtle diamond jewellery. Just wait for her Oscars look.

Hailee Steinfeld has been on endless blogs over the last few weeks. Her previous Miu Miu and Prada looks have proved that she knows how to be fashion-forward while staying age-appropriate. Her Miu Miu choice for the BAFTAs was a great evening choice both as a dress and as jewellery, as it needed none. I'd love Hailee to be in a film with Elle Fanning. Think of those press tours...

I was completely oblivious of the fact that Jessica Alba was attending this year's ceremony. She donned one of my favourite SS11 Versace Atelier gowns (from that post where I said how much I'd love Christina Hendricks to wear it that I then had to take down because the pictures had been leaked) and, being completely objective, she outshone all the Brits. Her choice of hair and jewellery perfectly complemented the gown and, well, it's Jessica Alba, she'd look good in a bin bag.

I'm off.
