Bafta fashion: outfits from the TV awards red carpet

Bafta fashion: Alexa Chung
As the cast of Corrie soak up their annual spot of red-carpet limelight, here's model-turned-presenter Alexa Chung, sashaying along looking statuesque on her stilettos. You have to envy her those long legs - a surefire way to pull off this Victoriana mini ra-ra with ruffles number. Less said about the cat bag the better. Photograph: Jon Furniss/WireImage.com
Bafta fashion: BAFTA Television Awards 2009 - Inside arrivals
Lisa Maxwell, aka Sun Hill's DI Samantha Nixon, goes all out on the movie glamour. But there's just too much flesh and that lace is creepy. Photograph: Dave Hogan/Getty Images
Bafta fashion: Patsy Kensit
Did no one tell Patsy Kensit the carpet would be red? Photograph: Tim Whitby/Getty Images
Bafta fashion: Skins' Hannah Murray
Are those tap shoes? You have to hand it to Skins' Hannah Murray for pulling off this unlikeliest of outfits. Typical teenager! Very sassy, very Julien Macdonald, very cool. Photograph: Doug Peters/Empics
Bafta fashion: Tamara Beckwith and Tania Bryer
There's not much inspiration on the catwalk tonight, as proven here while Tamara Beckwith and Tania Bryer vie for prize of most plunging neckline. We'd love to have been privy to this happy-looking tete-a-tete. Photograph: Tim Whitby/Getty Images
Bafta fashion: Miranda Raison

Bafta fashion: The British Academy Television Awards - London
This is a fab dress - not an overly red carpet look admittedly for Casualty's Georgia Taylor, but this is practically the only pattern in sight all evening. Photograph: Doug Peters/Empics
Bafta fashion: British Academy Television Awards 2009 - London
If it wasn't for Andrea Riseborough's canary yellow trousers, we might have fallen asleep by now. These are an instant hit - just look how those heavy bellbottoms redefine red carpet glamour. Photograph: Ian West/PA
Bafta fashion: Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton. Putting Britain's soap stars to shame with an Oscar-level gown. Does she not realise tonight is just for people off the telly? Photograph: Dave Hogan/Getty Images
Bafta fashion: British Academy Television Awards 2009 - London
Something's up here. Not only is it a balmy April evening, but Siralun is smiling?? Really, we wanted him to do the "You're fired" gesture, and look cross. But doesn't his wife look lovely? He can't be so miserable after all. Photograph: Ian West/PA
Bafta fashion: Kaya Scodelario
This is more like it. Another Skins teen, this time Kaya Scodelario, shows how it's done in this stunning beaded and sequined shift. Photograph: Ian West/PA
Bafta fashion: June Brown
From teen ... to pearly queen. June Brown arrives to find out if she's won the best actress award after 24 years of playing Albert Square stalwart Dot Cotton. And she looks fabulous. Photograph: David Fisher/Rex Features
Bafta fashion: Justin Lee Collins
Justin Lee Collins scrubs up well. But there's something sinister about that hairstyle teamed with a tux. A scruffy T-shirt seems much more appropriate. Photograph: Dave Hogan/Getty Images
Bafta fashion: Graham Norton
At least Graham Norton could be trusted to pick up on the florals trend and run with it. Photograph: Zak Hussein/PA
Bafta fashion: British Academy Television Awards 2009 - London
Liz McClarnon, from Atomic Kitten. Who knew she was "now a celebrity cook and presenter"? As if to prove this transformation, it's full on with the Cinderella saccharine effect. Not high on the fashion points scale, sadly. Photograph: Ian West/PA
