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 Fellows decided on an elegant, boat-necked black and white gown by UK-based designer Emilia Wickstead which looked suitably regal.

First Man star Claire Foy was chic in a simple, strapless, forest-green Sixties-style sheath dress by Oscar de la Renta.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked every inch the movie star in a sweeping, oneshoulder ivory chiffon gown by Alexander McQueen, the label that also created her wedding dress. She offset her look with a pair of dazzling pearl earrings that belonged to Princess Diana.
