The winners – and losers – in the red carpet fashion stakes

Wears: Valentino
Watson has a knack of combining the girlish with the glamourous and her pleated silk Valentino gown was a highly literate fashion choice that managed to keep things light and pretty too - asymmetrical with a froth of net at the neckline, it was smattered with tiny pink flowers and lace

Wears: Tom Ford
Moore was dressed by her great friend Ford, whose teal velvet empire line creation set off her luscious pallor to perfection. Topped off with crimson lips and an enormous bow detail, she oozed old Hollywood style.

Wears: Haider Ackermann
Swinton, with her strikingly unique and androgynous style, is an established fan of Columbian designer Haider Ackermann, plumping here for a typically idiosyncratic wide-leg trouser suit and tux jacket with a sophisticated twist of rosy silk at the back. A challenging look for one of British theatre's bravest actors

Wears: Yves Saint Laurent
Classic in black velvet, Arterton's choice of an Yves Saint Laurent gown was sexy but serious, and made modern with a flash of cobalt grosgrain as a belt. A very grown-up pick for an actress nominated as a newcomer.

Wears: Georges Chakra
Girl Aloud Sarah Harding tried, well, hard in a Georges Chakra sequinned gown. Glamorous and keen to party as ever, she made one fatal error: she matched her clothing to the carpet.

Wears: Miu Miu
The new young star of True Grit left all earthiness behind with her sparkling jewel-encrusted top and peplum-topped pencil skirt by Miu Miu. This look will no doubt be the fashion pack's favourite.

Wears: Vivienne Westwood
Nominated for her role in The King's Speech, Bonham-Carter wore an ensemble from fashion queen, Vivienne Westwood. Her spotted taffeta bolero was one of the red carpet's more highly structured numbers and sat perfectly atop a some what quieter (for her) black wrap dress.

Wears: Versace
You can tell Jessica Alba's not from round here: she accessorised her azure blue silk strapless gown with a deep Californian tan. And Gerard Butler. Sure, it was a bit west coast for a dreary, rainy night in February but when it looks this good, nobody minds.
http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/dynamic/00555/eva-green-GETTY_555535s.jpgEva Green
Wears: Tom Ford
Another hit for Tom Ford, dark beauty Eva Green wore black ruched chiffon with a long fishtailed skirt ? one of the evening's many ultra-luxurious but slimline silhouettes and a welcome break from the usual crinolines creations. More Elvira than Disney princess, it's a definite thumbs-up.
