The British Independent Film Awards 2008, held at London's Old Billingsgate Market last night, were shocking. Some of the world's most beautiful and stylish British and European women — Keira Knightley, Eva Green, Sienna Miller, Anna Friel — all seemed in competition to wear the weirdest, frumpiest, least flattering ensemble in the room. Caftans, missing pants, clunky shoes — you name it, they wore it. We could barely scrounge a "good" out of the whole bunch! The horror, the horror — after the jump!
The Good:
Jamie Winstone shows off the magical modesty-giving properties of black tights.
The Bad:
Eva Green is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Why is she wearing this frumpy frock?! And with Oxfords?!
I love me a caftan shape...but not so much when worn with orthopedic sandals like Eva Birthistle's!
Keira's gothic Lolita 50's prom dress worn over a tee shirt is three-car-pileup mesmerizing!
Confused by Anna Friel's Bob Ross gown, wind-burn makeup.
A. Sienna Miller forgot her pants. B. Her shirt is ugly.
