Emilia Fox looks the perfect '50s housewife at pre BAFTA event


Anthea Turner called... she wants her hairstyle back! Emilia Fox looks the perfect '50s housewife at BAFTA event


Emilia Fox is normally known for her modern elegant fashion, but the actress looked like she'd taken a leaf of Anthea Turner's style book on Friday night.
The Silent Witness actress had a matching haircut to the Perfect Housewife presenter, and a Stepford Wife wardrobe to go with it.
In a baby pink '50s prom dress with nude accessories and matching silver necklace and earring set, Eveningwear Barbie had made a special appearance for the WilliamVintage pre-BAFTA private dinner.

Spot the difference! Emila's vintage inspiration seemed to be a 90s version of Anthea Turner, which hasn't changed since her days presenting on breakfast TV

Emilia's questionable look goes against her normal fashion record of sophisticated party and red carpet outfits.
She also had an all-over tan, instead of her usual pale and interesting complexion.
    But while the 38-year old's look felt dated, other celebrity guests in attendance had successfully incorporated retro style into their modern dress.
    And vintage-lover Lily Cooper definitely deserved fashion snaps for her hot pink gown.

    The singer and - co-owner of boutique Lucy In Disguise - made her comeback to the public eye at the pre-BAFTA dinner, letting the dress take centre stage with just a simple up-do and diamond earrings to complete the outfit.
    Actress Laura Carmichael had no problem dressing for the occasion in a thirties-esque black gown with ribbon tie and deep slit running up one leg.
    But as one of the stars of Downton Abbey, vintage fashion comes with the job.

    Bonnie Wright too dressed in black but looked to the fifties for inspiration, matching the dark material with smoky kohl eyes.
    The WilliamVintage Dinner is a key fixture of the Bafta weekend and other guest attending the party at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel were BAFTA nominated actress Andrea Riseborough, Chris O'Dowd with his wife Dawn O'Porter and Sophie Ellis Bextor.
