There’s nothing like a bit of Brigitte Bardot, French Riviera style to pep up a red carpet gown. Enter Edith Bowman, who looked picture perfect with a half-up, half-down 'do and a feline flick of black eyeliner whilst on red carpet presenting duties for the Beeb.

Possibly our favourite look of the night though was this. Despite being up for Best Actress for her role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, it was Mia Farrow who Michelle Williams channelled at the BAFTAs. Teaming that gorgeous strawberry pixie crop with an effortlessly modern deep red lip, Michelle was red carpet perfection.
