Stars and guests invoke the spirit of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn in their colour combinations
When it comes to fashion’s classic colour combinations, there’s not much better than black and white, which brings to mind references from Coco Chanel to Audrey Hepburn. And it is the tried-and-tested formula that stars at the Baftas wore at the award ceremony on Sunday night. The red carpet was a sea of monochrome.
If this is the ultimate in “safe pair of hands” evening dressing, there were deviations. Some stars combined different pieces – in a way that felt a little more like “real life” dressing. The Princess of Wales wore a flowing white frock combined with long black gloves, while Julianne Moore had a Saint Laurent column black dress with a fluffy white marabou coat. Jamie Lee Curtis wore an outfit that would work just as well off the red carpet – a white satin skirt and black jacket.
