Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter attended last night’s BAFTAs together, of course. Even though Sophie skipped THREE pre-BAFTA events with Bendy, I figured she would attend the BAFTAs and I was right. And once again, Bendy LOST! Not only that, but The Imitation Game was completely shut out of every award. Bendy lost Best Actor to Eddie Redmayne. And once again, Redmayne seems like he’s going to take home the Oscar in what was supposed to be Bendy’s big buzzed-about year. So, did Bendy’s Forever Oscar Campaign end up blowing up in his face? Or did the campaign not even matter? I’m not sure.
Shockingly, Sophie did not wear A) floral or B) Erdem. Floral Erdem gowns had been her go-to look for several events in a row, but at the BAFTAs she went with a Maison Margiela dress by John Galliano. That’s sort of controversial because to some fashion people, Galliano is still persona non grata following his anti-Semitic rants several years ago. I think most people have forgiven him though. Anyway, I liked this on her. The dress itself is a lovely maternity look. My only complaint was the hair… I think she has side bangs and she was trying to change it up and whatever happened, it made her look older.
Anyway… Bendy and Sophie looked loved up. He gazed at her lovingly on the red carpet several times. The mean, conspiracy theorist part of me thinks that it is all a show, that if he convinces us maybe he’ll convince himself. But the optimist in me says that he genuinely loves her and cares about her. I don’t know.

Tom Hiddleston was a presenter at last night’s BAFTAs. He wore Alexander McQueen SS15. Attractive. I’m not crazy about his hair these days, but I can live with it. I have to say, just judging from the red carpet photos and the red carpet live stream I watched, Hiddles didn’t seem to have the WHOA impact of Benedict Cumberbatch. But then again, Hiddles was just a presenter and Hiddles has been MIA for much of the past year. I’m sure it will be different when Hiddles is at the BAFTAs next year as a nominee (??). Anyway, he did get cute when he talked about Marvel and bringing Loki back:
Very cute. I’m pretty sure Hiddles came to the event without a date as well. Whatever was or was not happening with whatever woman is probably over because Hiddles works too much. So Hiddles got to hang out with friends and party like a bro. He even got to spend time with Mark Ruffalo!
Arch enemies, best friends.

And I’m also including some photos of some of the other hot guys at the event, like Luke Evans, Ethan Hawke, Henry Cavill, Ralph Fiennes, David Beckham and Mark Strong.

This is what worried me. This is what was keeping me up at night (not really) about Julianne Moore’s style leading up to the Oscars. Thus far, she’s been hitting it out of the park. She’s been wearing good-to-great looks at every major event. And it’s been no coincidence that in all of those events, Julianne hadn’t worn anything by Tom Ford. Don’t get me wrong, I love Tom Ford’s designs and I think he’s a genius. And he’s friends with Julianne in real life, and she often calls him her “favorite designer.” But he almost always makes her look bad. I don’t know what it is. Anyway, she wore this red Tom Ford to the BAFTAs last night. It’s a sophisticated look, and by that I mean she sort of looks like a dominatrix. I don’t hate it, but now I’m so worried that she’s going to wear Tom Ford at the Oscars and it’s going to be SO BAD. PS… Julianne won last night but that’s not shocking.
Dianna Agron in red Lanvin. This is a pretty dress, in a pretty color, on a pretty girl. Is it groundbreaking? Not really. But if she wants to become a bigger Fashion Girl, I’m okay with that.
Patricia Arquette in Pamella Roland. Patricia won the BAFTA for Best Supporting. Something nice: this is an absolutely gorgeous color in general and on her specifically. Not so nice: Patricia cannot pick out clothes to flatter her figure at all.
Lea Seydoux and Monica Belucci, the two new “Bond Girls” attended the BAFTAs together. Everyone loves Lea’s mustard-yellow cut-out Prada gown but I wasn’t crazy about it. I think the cut-outs were too much, but from the neck up, she was FLAWLESS. Like, she was a young Deneuve. Monica’s black gown was Azzedine Alaia. Too much black on the carpet!

Rosamund Pike has started to impress me with the sheer fact that she’s an utter style omnivore. She has not repeated a designer at any major event during the awards season, and she’s sprinkled in designers from America, Britain, Italy and France. At last night’s BAFTAs, she went with a simple Roland Mouret gown in black. While the gown isn’t “Look at me, look at me!!” I still like it. Mostly because it’s the prettiest and most flattering thing she’s worn in months.
Dame Kristin Scott Thomas (yes, she’s a Dame now!) wore this vintage 1948 Balmain haute couture gown. I mean, it’s a beautiful dress. And I love that she wore honest-to-God vintage. But this black dress doesn’t stand out at all.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Prada. This is the unfortunate “signature” of Prada gowns, and how I knew this was a Prada gown before I even saw the ID: terrible, horrible, borderline obscene darting on the bust. Remember Anne Hathaway’s Prada gown at the Oscars a few years ago? And all anyone could talk about was her #DartFail? Yeah. That happened with poor Gugu in this dress too. If Prada could design a dress bust worth a damn, this would actually be one of my favorite looks of the night.
Here’s Sam Claflin and his wife Laura Haddock. She’s wearing a princessy Ashi Couture gown. People on Twitter loved it, but I found it underwhelming. I’m sure I would have loved it on Lupita, but Lupita would have worn it differently, you know?

Keira Knightley’s husband James Righton has been by her side throughout the awards season. It’s sort of sweet – I thought she was marrying some hipster rocker, but it turns out that he can wear a nice tuxedo and fulfill his arm candy destiny. These are some photos of Keira and James at last night’s BAFTAs. Sigh… I dislike her Giambattista Valli dress. I mean, I’ve been giving her a pass for the most part because she’s pregnant and it’s obviously thrown off her style mojo, but I think we just have to make our peace with the fact that Keira has worn a series of really terrible clothes throughout this awards season. It’s not her – she’s lovely. But the clothes suck. This Giambattista Valli looks like a poorly designed party dress, and it’s not right for the BAFTAs.
Here are some photos of Keira and James at Saturday night’s pre-BAFTA reception at Kensington Palace. Keira wore Chanel Resort 2015. Something nice… I like the colors. Something not so nice… LOOK AT THE DUST RUFFLE HEM.
And here’s Reese Witherspoon, flying solo at the BAFTAs and the Kensington Palace event. At the BAFTAs, Reese wore this rather gorgeous purple Stella McCartney gown. It really suits her and she looks great. I totally don’t have any complaints about this look at all.
At the KP event, Reese wore Chanel. I don’t care for the sleeves/shoulders on this dress, and her hair wasn’t that great.

Natalie Dormer attended the BAFTAs last night in theatrical fashion. She knows how to work almost any dress, and this Sophia Kah number is no exception. The dress is lovely on its own with a royal blue top and black lace skirt with a slight train. Sadly, the gloves kind of ruin the effect. They’re fussy, cheap-looking, and distracting. Can we thank Amal Clooney for the resurrected glove trend? Nat’s gloves may have been better in a solid blue instead of lace. I also think her hair would have been magical in sweeping waves. She wore Yoko London jewels.
Nat rocked a color-blocked Roksanda jumpsuit to the pre-BAFTAs nominee party. This is a cool jumpsuit, and not everyone can pull off orange. The asymmetrical slash of color really pops. I’m also including photos of Nat in a swooshy black dress at a fundraising dinner.
Hayley Atwell‘s little black BAFTAs dress fell into the mesh trap so popular with lovely ladies this season. She has a wonderful figure, and the side cutouts intend to provide an optical illusion. This mesh is counterproductive and not flattering, IMO. I’m including a photo of Hayley’s big blue coat and weird patterned pants at a pre-BAFTA event.
Michael Keaton brought bitchy realness to support his Birdman nomination. I so badly want him to win the Oscar, but it’s probably not his year. He looked very handsome though.
Edward Norton, who was nominated for Birdman too, attended with wife Shauna Robertson. I don’t have an ID on her dress, but it looks Elie Saab-ish.

Felicity Jones actually brought some style drama to last night’s BAFTAs. After too many milquetoast appearances, at least she wore something interesting, right? This is a SS13 Dior Couture. My initial thought was… imagine how much more sophisticated this would have looked without the flower appliques on the crotch/skirt. She would have easily been the best dressed woman with just some editing by Dior. Instead, we only have Felicity in a dress that’s mostly good. I really hope she’s ramping up to something amazing for the Oscars.
And here’s Felicity’s on-screen husband Eddie Redmayne with his wife Hannah. Eddie looks dapper and dorky all at once, and Hannah… well, I think Hannah is a pretty woman, but I don’t understand why she always looks so “undone” at major events. I’m not asking for a face full of makeup, but maybe some lipstick? Hannah’s dress is Valentino
James McAvoy and his wife Anne-Marie Duff. They are perfect and adorable together. Even though I hate her dress.
Alice Eve in black velvet. She was actually one of the few ladies that chose a warm-looking dress. #AllTheVelvet
And finally, Amy Adams. Some say this white gown in Lanvin, some say Stella McCartney. This isn’t my favorite look of the night or my favorite look on Amy, but it’s fine. It’s inoffensive.

Has Gwen Stefani traded in Gavin Rossdale for Pharrell?
Her kids certainly think so! Gwen is still head-over-heels in love with Gavin Rossdale, but during her interview with E!’s Ryan Seacrest at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, she joked that her kids think their mom is dating Pharrell:
They were such a huge fan and I was like, ‘Actually, I know Pharrell. I started showing them pictures on the Internet and they were like, ‘Wait a minute, is he your boyfriend?’ I’m like, ‘No.’”
Kids just say the craziest things — don’t they? It looks like no one is going to break up Gwen’s successful marriage anytime soon.

Rob Lowe shares an adorable picture of Rosamund Pike’s son on Instagram that’s just sooooo cute!
On Saturday, Rob Lowe ran into Rosamund Pike at the airport and was quick to snag a picture with her. After that, he immediately went to Instagram and shared the adorable photo with the following caption:
“My flight to London was filled with many of my fellows. Here’s the fantastic Rosamund Pike with her tiny treasure.”
Rosamund is currently in London for the BAFTAs, which is taking place tonight. Rosamund has been nominated for her performance in Gone Girl, but she has some pretty stiff competition, as she’s going up against the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, and Felicity Jones.
My flight to London was filled with many of my fellows. Here’s the fantastic Rosamund Pike with her tiny treasure.

These two guys are so cute!
Tom Brady, 37, and his too-cute-for-words son, Benjamin, were all smiles while riding on a float at the 2015 Superbowl Victory Parade and we have all the adorable pictures below!
Brady and his son showed off the Lombardi trophy with smiles all over their face on Wednesday, February 4th in Boston, Mass. The celebration followed after the Patriots’ defeated the Seattle Seahawks last weekend at the Superbowl.
The 2015 Superbowl Victory Parade had to be delayed due to all of the bad weather that hit the Northeast lately. Either way, it doesn’t look like bad weather can keep this father and son duo down — just look at those smiles!
