Instead the BAFTA TV Awards 2009 was a hotch potch of everything from floor length vintage inspired navy, to shimmering cocktail dresses and mustard yellow bell-bottoms. Maybe it was the brilliant sunshine that encouraged everyone to ‘do their own thing’ – but whatever the reason, there was absolutely no chance of duplicate outfits at last night’s ceremony.
Apparently, Mischa Barton drank all the BEER last night at the BAFTA awards. t5M Insider – Stand out outfits include Mischa Barton’s Seventies-inspired midnight blue, floor length gown, accessorised with a huge gold necklace which would put Cleopatra to shame, providing something of a contrast to the summer time metallic cocktail dress worn by Skin’s leading lady Kaya Scodelario. Jaime Winstone matched Eastender’s star, Patsy Palmer, in a cocktail length black dress with similar metallic detailing, whereas Best Actress nominee Andrea Riseborough opted for a daring pair of yellow bellbottom trousers and black sequined halterneck.
Meanwhile, Former O.C. star Mischa Barton is heading back to TV in a new fashion-based show alongside Ashton Kutcher.Barton quit the teen drama in 2006 to pursue a movie career, but will now go back to her roots on the small screen in A Beautiful Life – a satire based on the fashion industry.The 23-year-old plays a New York-based model in the pilot episode, which also features a cameo appearance from supermodel Elle MacPherson.Barton says, “It’s a really great show. It’s like the O.C. but times 10. Everyone is dressed in the latest Versace and McQueen. Zac Posen has a fashion show in the first episode and plays himself. It’s a younger version of Sex And The City. I play a super bitchy model in New York. If the pilot does well I will be spending a lot more time in New York.”And Barton admits she loved the clothes so much, she took most of them home with her, adding, “I bought most of my wardrobe.”
