Baftas: Fashion on the red carpet

The Brits were feted for their acting talent, but how did their fashion sense measure up? We reveal the best and worst outfits at the Baftas

He wears a suit by Tom Ford and Jolie goes for a fitted strapless number with waspy bolts of yellow from Giorgio Armani's Privé collection Photograph: Tim Whitby/Getty Images

Gallery BAFTAs fashion gallery: Kate Winslet — We think Kate Winslet's Zac Posen gown looks good - but we're starting to get a little bored with her singleminded devotion to body-con dresses Photograph: Daniel Deme/EPA

Gallery BAFTAs fashion gallery: Marion Cotillard — Damn her innate Parisian sense of style! Marion Cotillard makes us jealous for the umpteenth time in this satin cocktail dress by Dior Photograph: Daniel Deme/EPA

Gallery BAFTAs fashion gallery: Marisa Tomei — Poor Marisa Tomei. For the Golden Globes she wore an awful ruffled white shirt and skirt, and for the Baftas she's chosen an ill-advised sari-like dress that hangs shapelessly off her body. Our advice?

Gallery BAFTAs fashion gallery: Penelope Cruz — Penelope Cruz is sexily slinky in this close-fitting gown by Azzedine Alaia. Her hair was a bit school-marmish for us, though Photograph: Daniel Deme/EPA

Gallery BAFTAs fashion gallery: Thandie Newton — We're not sure who designed Thandie Newton's dress, but we think it's vintage. We love the horizontal stripes and flared 50s skirt Photograph: Daniel Deme/EPA
