BAFTA bravado

The BAFTA Awards viewing with the royals in LA was an amusing turn of events. At least I found it amusing to see Hollywood celebs clamoring for a ticket to rub shoulders with Kate and William. I guess it just goes to show that no one is immune to being starstruck.

So, I just have to give some props to Nicole Kidman, of whom has made some pretty awful fashion choices as of late. The Elie Saab gown she chose to wear was spot on perfect. The color was gorgeous on her and it was totally appropriate for the occasion. I thought she looked breathtaking.


On the other hand...the reigning poster child of People magazine's most beautiful person in the world decided this Emilio Pucci gown would be the perfect thing to wear to meet the royals.


I seriously don't understand this choice. The cut outs, the color, the fit...it's as if she called Halle Berry and asked to borrow something from her closet. Because heaven knows you want to look like a hoochie mama when you meet the future king of England. Maybe she thought she was going to Queens rather than meeting one. Good grief...use your loaf woman. I think these would have been nice appropriate options...still keeping a little JLo sizzle.

And then, much to my chagrin, I have to say that i was a bit disappointed in Kate's gown choice. 

Alexander McQueen
It seems she's been wearing alot of boatneck dresses...maybe out of protocol, maybe because she wanted to wear only UK designers, I don't know...but especially when the shoulder is padded, it really doesn't enhance her upper silhouette. Makes her look very flat chested and boxy. Anyway, I would have loved to have seen her in these.
