bafta awards,Film,thandie newton,christian lacroix Baftas 2006 - Thandie Newton in her red carpet dress Scooping up the supporting best actress for \'Crash\', Thandie Newton looked every inch the fairytale princess in a Christian Lacroix soft pink puff ball gown with an oversized black bow.

Michelle Ryan at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,michelle ryan,designer Baftas 2006 - Michelle Ryan in her Red Carpet Dress  

Whoever was responsible for Michelle\'s unforgiving and very clingy cream satin number has a lot to answer for.

Christina Ricci at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,designer,christina ricci Baftas 2006 - Christina Ricci in her Red Carpet Dress Christina opted for a cute Prada mini-dress in (yes, you guessed it) black, with Chanel jewellery.

Imelda Staunton at the Baftas 2006

Natalie Imbruglia at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,designer,natalie imbruglia Baftas 2006 - Natalie Imbruglia in her red carpet dress  

We were glad to see impish Natalie on the red carpet, but it would\'ve been better if her dress hadn\'t aged her by about 10 years.

Diane Kruger at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,dior by john galliano,designer,diane kruger Baftas 2006 - Diane Kruger in her red carpet dress  

Diane was yet another lady opting for black - and we were rather fond of this chiffon high-waisted Dior dress.

Rachel Weisz at the Baftas 2006

Rachel Weisz,bafta awards,designer Baftas 2006 - Rachel Weisz in her red carpet dress  

Yummy mummy Rachel has worn some lovely gowns this year, but sadly this unshapely bland purple Vivienne Westwood number isn\'t one of them.

Michelle Collins at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,Film Baftas 2006 - Michelle Collins in her red carpet dress  

Unfortunately we can\'t say the same for Michelle\'s black ensemble. A plunging neckline is unflattering at the best of times, and teaming one with a non-descipt necklace does her no favours at all.

Neve Campbell at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,designer,roland mouret Baftas 2006 - Neve Campbell in her red carpet dress

Renée Zellweger at the Baftas 2006

Black was the big colour hit of the night, and Kirsten Scott Thomas looked stunning in a fabulous ruched number.

Charlize Theron at the Baftas 2006

Charlize Theron,bafta awards,lanvin Baftas 2006 - Charlize Theron in her red carpet dress  

Another spot-on hit in the style stakes for Charlize Theron - her Lanvin silk dress with black velvet sash had \'glamour puss\' written all over it.

Mischa Barton at the Baftas 2006

bafta awards,marchesa Baftas 2006 - Mischa Barton in her red carpet dress

Ziyi Zhang at the Baftas 2006
