Trust the British to hold an event fit for a queen.
The 2013 BAFTA awards was a night of elegance, sparkle and allure as actors and directors alike strutted their stuff down the red carpet.
Bright block colours dominated the scene from canary yellow to cerulean and everything in between, rocked by such beauties as Marion Cottilard, Laura Bailey, Jessica Chastain and Andrea Riseborough.
Zawe Ashmore and Laura Whitmore took a cheeky step with the cut-out trend, while Caroline Flack, Jeniffer Lawrence, Shingai Shoniwa and Anne Hathaway glistened with metallic embellishments.
