FASHION VERDICT

YOU couldn’t fault her sharp, silk bolero jacket in a glorious shade of sapphire.

But why on earth did actress Lily Collins choose to team it with a lampshade and a twitching net curtain?

The bizarre Givenchy ensemble was one of the more eccentric looks that swept up the chilly red carpet at last night’s Bafta awards which again became a showcase for the good, the bad and the downright bonkers in fashion design.

All eyes were on Bafta favourite Olivia Colman whose stylist Mary Fellowes decided on an elegant, boat-necked black and white gown by designer Emilia Wickstead which looked suitably regal.

First Man star Claire Foy was chic in a simple, strapless, forest-green Sixtiesstyle sheath dress.

Kate Middleton looked every inch the movie star in a sweeping, one-shoulder ivory chiffon gown by the Alexander McQueen fashion house, who also created her wedding dress. She offset her look with a pair of dazzling pearl earrings that belonged to Princess Diana.
