"There weren't that many classic ball gowns which often do
come with the BAFTAS, because it is the creme de la creme," said
Marie-Claire UK deputy digital editor Holly Rains.
Nicole Kidman, Emma Stone, Penelope Cruz, Michelle Williams and
Sophie Turner lit up the red carpet with their sparkling outfits
in metallic shades, with plunging necklines accentuating the
sheen.
Stone, who took the best actress award home for her turn as an
aspiring actress in the musical movie "La La Land", wore a
Chanel off-runway couture embellished silver outfit with
matching cigarette pants and pointy heels.
Cruz chose a Grecian-inspired gown, and supporting actress
nominee Williams shimmered in a knee-length, Swinging Sixties
style dress.
Other actresses, including Amy Adams and Thandie Newton, opted
for more classic silhouettes in darker colors, while Hollywood
stalwart Meryl Streep defied the trend by turning up in a black
blazer and trousers.
Britain's Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, breezed past the
waiting photographers as she and Prince William arrived at the
awards. She was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder Alexander
McQueen gown adorned with white flowers on green stems, paired
with a loose updo and glistening earrings.
In the men's department, a few actors played around with the
standard monochromatic tuxedo. British actors Eddie Redmayne and
Andrew Garfield donned white jackets, and fashion designer and
director Tom Ford wore a wine-colored velvet jacket.
