Actress Annabelle Wallis. Dress, Dolce & Gabbana
Annabelle Wallis
If you didn’t catch Annabelle in TV series The Tudors or Madonna’s movie W.E, you’ll soon see her in new drama serial Fleming alongside Dominic Cooper. She plays the woman who inspired the Bond Girl: ‘No pressure, then,’ she jokes.

FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOK?
I love wild, natural hair with a smoky eye.
FIRST MAKE-UP MEMORY? Discovering mascara. I am blonde so it revolutionised my life – and my sex appeal to boys.
CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
Nivea’s lip balm with a pink tint. It only seems to be sold in the US, so I bulk buy. You can use it on lips, cheeks, eyes…
DREAM LEADING MAN?
Robert de Niro. And of the young guns, Michael Fassbender. Who doesn’t want an Irish German in their life?
WHO IS YOUR DRESS BVY?
It’s Dolce & Gabbana. I’m a Latina at heart [Annabelle grew up in Portugal], so I like brands that give me structure, but exude sexiness and femininity.
WHAT DO YOU WEAR OFF DUTY? Whistles, Rag & Bone, Cos…with Topshop thrown in.
YOUR STYLE ICON?
Grace Coddington of American Vogue has a great vision of fashion – and I love all that hair.
FAVOURITE FILM THIS YEAR? Silver Linings Playbook – the subject matter is poignant, so it’s a great film. And Lincoln because my cousin Jared Harris is in it.

Actress Lily James. Dress, Dolce & Gabbana. jewellery, Asprey
Lily James
Lily wore Dolce & Gabbana and £62,000 of Asprey diamonds to this, her first ever BAFTAs. ‘You’re kidding? I do love rings on every finger – but usually they’re the type that leave your fingers green.’ She is currently filming Downton Abbey, in which she plays rebellious cousin Rose, who we’ll be seeing much more of in series four. But don’t be fooled by Rose’s blonde wig – this brunette is one to watch.
'Mascara is a must. On a day-to-day basis I wear little else'
FAVOURITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
Lancôme mascara is a must – on a day-to-day basis I wear little else. Recently I’ve been hooked on Sisley face creams – they are pricey, but luckily a make-up artist I worked with gave me some for free. I also love Nude facial oils. I’m a complete sucker for beauty products, for cleansing, toning and moisturising. And face masks.
FIRST MAKE-UP MEMORY?
Buying Maybelline concealer, which I layered on far too thick. I had bad skin so I thought it was a necessity. And I’d apply chunky, cloggy mascara, too – such a bad look.
WHAT’S IN YOUR CLUTCH BAG?
A mobile phone. A lipstick. And a tiny bottle of Chloé perfume. I’ve worn it since I was little and I take it everywhere with me.
YOUR STYLE ICON?
Alexa Chung – I like her relaxed effortlessness. That’s probably because I veer towards a more casual chic look myself. In fact, I’m adding in the chic bit – I kind of just do casual.
HOTTEST BAFTA STAR?
I love Jennifer Lawrence. She is such good news in the film industry – a real girl who is so talented and young.
WHAT COULDN’T YOU LIVE WITHOUT?
My two brothers – they are unbelievably supportive. My elder brother came to see my last play five times!
ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FILM?
To be cool, Lars von Trier’s Breaking the Waves – Emily Watson gives the best female performance I’ve ever seen. To be honest, The Holiday – I love a great romcom.

Actress Hayley Atwell. Dress, Antonio Berardi
Hayley Atwell
Hayley is something of a BAFTA veteran, having presented awards twice. On the big screen she has starred in Captain America and The Sweeney, and she recently stole the show in the wartime TV film Restless. Next up is a remake of 1970s sci-fi movie The Return of Captain Nemo.
'I'm more Jessica Rabbit, really'
FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOK?
Nothing beats smoky eyes and nude lips. I love getting my make-up done and having the excuse to try new, expensive products. Otherwise, I just tend to use whatever is floating around the house.
TOP BEAUTY TIP?
Don’t smoke; wear light moisturisers and Lancôme mascara, then keep everything natural. I like individuality – people looking like themselves, not made up to be something they’re not.
BEST THING ABOUT THE BAFTAS?
Stephen Fry – he’s a British institution.
HOTTEST BAFTA STAR?
Sally Field. I so admire the way she holds her own on the red carpet, and the career choices she’s made – she has always sought out more interesting roles.
FAVOURITE FILMS OF ALL TIME?
To Kill A Mockingbird and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Both takes on classic books that I loved as a child.
YOUR STYLE ICONS?
Cate Blanchett and Katharine Hepburn. I say that, but they don’t have bodies that are anything like mine so it’s not a style I could ever emulate. I’m more Jessica Rabbit, really.
IN YOUR CLUTCH BAG?
Tickets, phone, lipstick, a cash card and peculiarly a wad of £5 notes. Well, there could be a raffle – win a date with Bradley Cooper… You never know.
