Prince William Steals the Show at the BAFTAs
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTAs, for short) have traditionally suffered from a Sally Field complex—but we like you, we really do. How could we not, with Prince William named the organization's new president? When he walked the red carpet last night, the dapper royal incited a near riot—drawing screams a notch higher than even Robert Pattinson managed to elicit. William started his new tenure by delivering an award (beat that, Oscars), and the lucky recipient of his affection was Vanessa Redgrave. She blushed like a little girl when he gave her the British Academy Fellowship—a strange reaction from an actress who has built a secondary career in bashing the monarchy. Oh well, all's fair in love and war.
The ceremony attracted a constellation of stars: Kate Winslet and Uma Thurman flew the flag for U.K. designers in Stella McCartney and Burberry, respectively. Vera Farmiga and Audrey Tautou wore Marchesa and Lanvin, and newly blonde pixie Carey Mulligan owned the red carpet in Vionnet. We caught up with the Leading Actress-winning star of An Education to ask her how she would top this magnificent dress at the Oscars. She responded with a wink: "I would tell you…but that means I would have to, well, you know how the saying goes." Right then, better keep it a secret.
