I missed one!

Well, well, well, How did this one pass me by!
Romola Garai -  nominated for Best Actress in a Mini Series, for her performance in the BBC production The Hour, eventually loosing out on the award to Kate Winslet, but she definitely won in the red carpet battle. I absolutely adore this dress, it's so sleek and yet so quirky!
I did notice in yesterdays post most of the dresses I liked were in the nude/cream/flesh coloured area, which many are saying has been over done of late and they are probably right, (it just looks so elegant!)
and I'm not straying to far away from this theme by loving Garai's dress, but I don't feel at all guilty!
This was the kind of dress I was looking for, one that makes me gush over it, I could go on about it for ages! The length, the shape, the pockets (I love a pocket in a dress!) the nipped in waist and the puffed sleeves, the intricate lace work, the short underskirt it was just nothing like any of the other dresses on the red carpet and I LOVE IT! Best of all she looked so comfortable in it, and sometimes that's half the battle!

It does make me sad that I didn't see it yesterday, I'm guessing that she just isn't quite A list enough to have been all over the internet, but she was actually nominated for a globe, you would think that would have been enough to get some more exposure! I don't actually know who she is wearing, I only managed to find 2 different pictures of her in it, again, very sad as I think she should have featured on all the best dressed lists, but as I mentioned in my last post, my views are normally very different to the people compiling those lists.

I really like that she kept everythhing so simple with this dress, the lovely loose curls framing her face, elegant drop earrings, and perfectly matching shoes that don't distract from the dress but also don't get completely lost, but to be fair she had the best accessory of all on her arm, the utterly charming Dominic West, I'm not at all jealous of this girl! Not one bit.
