The Orange British Academy Film Awards took place last night in Covent Garden, London. The awards ceremony is the British version of the Oscars and usually serves as a good indication for who will be awarded the coveted prizes. Silent film The Artist was the big winner on the night, taking away 7 awards.

Penelope Cruz attended the event opting to wear a red strapless dress by Armani Prive. The couture creation that features a sharp cut bust line and a ruffle at the waist is a pretty look but doesn’t quite have the wow factor that Penelope’s outfits usually sport.

Christina Ricci wowed in a gold v-neck design by Givenchy. The low-neckline and the thigh split gives the dress a sexy edge.

Star of new comedy film Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig made an impressive BAFTA red carpet debut in a white silk strapless dress with ruched waist from Alberta Ferretti.

Jessica Chastain chose a gold lame pleated gown from the pre-fall collection by Oscar De La Renta. This isn’t a terribly flattering dress on Jessica but the light gold palette is a nice shade.

Christina Hendricks stunned in a black bustier dress design by Vivienne Westwood. The dress is a great look that nicely fits her curves.

Tilda Swinton was the epitome of elegance in a white cap-sleeved gown from the pre-fall collection by Celine.
