It is a truth universally acknowledged that British awards shows bring out the best - and the worst - in fashions. And so it was at the Bafta Television Awards at Royal Festival Hall.
The Good:
Okay, it's a bit hard to see the awesome necklace Mischa Barton's working here, but rest assured, she's doing her Marianne Faithfull best.
Liz McClarnon balances nude with pretty. Which sounds ugly. But isn't.
Jenni Falconer's forest green is a nice take on the Deco trend.
I love seeing a gown with sleeves like Davina McCall's.
Jaime Winstone's dress keeps the whimsy at just enough.
Louise Redknapp looks unbelievably glam in this screwball glam-gown.
The Bad:
Kate Silverton sports what may be an artist's smock attacked by an eagle.
Kaya Scodelario: sequins attack the reptile house.
Hannah Murray got the same dress code memo!
You know what Alexa Chung's outfit needed? A cat purse!
The Hair:
The Barbara Windsor.
The Justin Lee Collins.
DISCUSSION
Justin Lee Collins has Real Housewives hair. He's currently sporting "The Jill."
