Back to Black on the Bafta's Red Carpet

On the Bafta's Red Carpet, fashionistas and stars brought their style to the awards ceremony but that style was more classic and in some ways more reserved than the fashion we have seen on the American red carpets so far this award season. The major trend of the night was that many of the stars had gone back to black. Many different takes on the classic black dress made for a rather mono-chrome carpet and where there was colour, often it blended in with the carpet itself, or formed part of a costume or gown along with yet more black.

Many stars chose slimming black gowns, but this did not demonstrate a desire to shrink into the background. Dresses may have been black but that black was not at all boring far from it! The chic, figure hugging simplicity of Kate Winslet's black dress with shoulder detail, accessorised with a red clutch, showed that sometimes less is definitely more. While others took the trend in a bolder though perhaps less universally acclaimed direction.

Alicia Vikander continued her red carpet dominance with a black leather number with chain link detailing that descended into sparkling tinsel-link stripes from Louis Vuitton. It was attractive and met with approval from fashion critics though did not perhaps create the buzz that her sequinned SAG awards dress did.

Saoirse Ronan wore a floral, strapless dress with a black base behind the flowers. This was a sophisticated and elegant take on floral and gave her a grace and elegance on the red carpet. While Cate Blanchett's dress had a different and more unusual floral section. It had a beautiful floral top section and the lower half was a large, black cascade of feathers and fur. This daring Alexander McQueen number was a departure from the star's usual red carpet style and was one of the stand-out numbers of the night. More feathers appeared on the black dress worn by British actress, Laura Haddock.

Another star of the red carpet who perfected a monochrome look was Julianne Moore, who wore a white column dress with black ribbon detail and an elegant black cape. The cape must have truly come in handy in temperatures that were not much above zero. The Armani look gave a classic elegance and drama that the star carried off with aplomb, tying her hair in a simple topknot. Another elegant black dress was the sexy, plunging-neckline number worn by Icelandic actress, Heida Reed.

The Bafta red carpet fashion reminded us that black does not have to be boring and that this colour can still, really wow. While we may not be able to get our own custom-made numbers, we can still rock the mono-chrome look easily so this is one trend that will translate well from the red carpet to 'real life'.
