It was a big event yesterday (February 21) – British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA) 2010 – held at the Royal Opera House in London, England. Lots of celebrities attended it and some got their trophies. (Read the list of winners!) But everyone looked beautiful. And my task now is to show you the dresses I liked the most on the red carpet.
I’ll begin with Kristen Stewart. She wasn’t the best-dressed and her look seemed unfinished but she is the star of Twilight, the saga I liked so much, so she is the first on my list. Kristen looked good in short white strapless Chanel dress and a pair of matching heels. I do think she looks better in jeans.
Kate Winslet couldn’t miss this exciting event and appeared on the red carpet looking elegant and classy. I liked her black dress with lacy insets very much!
Vera Farmiga looked brilliant in a white assymetrical Marchesa gown. The dress was so cute that Vera was an absolute stand out for me!

Everyone knows that women from Asian countries dress differently from the way we do. They have to wear long, sometimes floor-sweeping, body-covering black robes called abayas to cover their clothing in public.
Nowadays few of them want to wear one and the same design of abaya all the time. To solve the problem a few international designers decided to try themselves in this, earlier unknown for them, sphere of creation.
It was the process of constant learning of Islamic traditions, customs and fashion tendencies. It was not easy. But the result is fantastic. Abayas made by designers were chic and sophisticated, adorned with rhinestones and made of luxury materials. These new styles of abayas were intended for rich Muslim women who wanted to stand out of the crowd and always look fabulous.
The Saks Fifth Avenue Riyadh and Jeddah fashion show was held in George V Hotel in Paris. It was opened by a horsewoman in a flowing, made-to-measure Islamic gown atop a snorting steed rearing on its hind legs. The spectacle was great.
Then followed the show of 22 abayas customized by international designers specially invited for that. Among the attendees were Saudi Arabian royal family, participating designers Felipe Oliveria Baptista, Adam Jones, Anne Valérie Hash and Martine Sitbon.
Designers who used their talents to work on the terrific abayas, which are required in Saudi Arabia, included Christian Dior’s artistic director John Galliano, French luxury labels Nina Ricci and Jean Claude Jitrois and Italian houses Blumarine and Alberta Feretti.
