BAFTA Red Carpet

Here in Melbourne we have embraced our reputation for style, intelligence, artistry and of course our perennial wearing of the black.  The BAFTA's this year have threatened to take away our title, or maybe it is a subtle nod to Melbourne's innate class... whatever the reason there was a hell of a lot of black on the red carpet this year - take a look...

 Christina Hendricks

 Berenice Bejo (The Artist)

The ladies from Downton Abbey - Elizabeth McGovern, Jessica Brown Findlay

 and Joanne Froggatt - wearing Victoria Beckham.

 The delightful Meryl Streep

 Melissa George also rocking a Victoria Beckham dress

Michelle Williams  - carrying an Arthur Miller clutch as a nod to Marilyn 

 

 Even the boys were all in black - Brad Pitt, Douglas Booth, Daniel Radcliffe

 Jon Hamm and Michael Fassbender

and my favourite shot of the evening - Colin Firth and George Clooney

There was a little splash of colour.....

 Helena Bonham Carter - who's personality is colourful!

 Jamie Campbell Bower and Bonnie Wright (or Mrs Potter as I like to think of her.)

 Christina Ricci and Gillian Anderson

 Jessica Chastain and Tilda Swinton

 

 Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer

 

 and my personal favourite of the evening - Kristen Wigg.
