Red Carpet Report • The 2012 BAFTA Awards

Last night, the 2012 BAFTA Awards took place in London, at the Royal Opera House. 


Jessica Chastain was a nominee for her role in The Help and looked gorgeous in a pleated gown with plunging neckline from the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The actress paired her dress with beautiful sparkling embellished Jimmy Choo sandals. The actress let her red tresses down and accessorized with a layered statement necklace by Harry Winston. What a shimmery ensemble.

Actress Michelle Williams made a surprising red carpet choice, she opted for a custom H&M Conscious Collection gown. The dress had an ivory bodice, black skirt and a subtle flower appliqué at the waist. Although you could call this dress plain, it was saved by styling. Michelle carried an Olympia Le-Tan clutch, a Forevermark collar necklace and opted for bold red lips and a dark manicure.

Christina Ricci stood out on the red carpet in a shiny gold capsleeve gown with a ruffled neckline by Givenchy. The front-splitted dress had a gorgeous cut and a beautiful colour, but Christina seems too petite to pull off this look. The Bel Ami-actress wore her hair up in a simple bun, she styled her gown with diamond statement jewels, strappy sandals and a deep red pout.

Melissa George looked stunning in a sensational liquid Victoria Beckham Spring 2009 gown. The actress also carried a fringed clutch and wore bright pink lippie. Her hair was up in a retro wavy do. I love this!

Viola Davis was another vision in pink, the actress opted for a custom one-shoulder gown by Valentino with a high split. The split shows off her Jimmy Choo platform sandals. Viola accessorized with a diamond bracelet and matching drop earrings. Her hair was in a curly style.

Kristen Wigg opted for a chic but simple look. She wore a white silk gown by Alberta Ferretti. The strapless gown was paired with a stack of bracelets, a dark manicure and glossy curls. Like I said, simple and chic.  
  
Young actress Shailene Woodley walked the red carpet in a pale pink D&G tulle gown with floral appliqués. Shailene teamed her gown with matching strappy sandals by Jimmy Choo and minimal jewelry. Her hair was in a ballerina-like topknot, she also opted to wear a lavender lipshade.

BAFTA's Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer opted to wear one of her favourite designers again: she walked the red carpet in another Tadashi Shoji custom ensemble. The actress wore a floral-detail black silk skirt, paired with a tailored white shirt. She accessorized with a black YSL belt, a red Judith Leiber clutch and Martin Katz jewels. I'm not sure how I feel about this look, I don't think the ensemble accentuates her figure in the right way.

Tilda Swinton rocked a chic white Celine Pre-Fall 2012 ensemble. She paired her Celine look with embellished sandals, a retro hairdo and a Pomellato cocktail rings. So minimalistic chic.

Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz also was spotted at the BAFTA's. The actress wore a strapless gown with a cascading draped detail by Armani Prive. She accessorized with silver jewelry, her hair was in an updo with bangs. Still not loving those.
