Style BAFTA Lisbeth: Noomi Rapace’s moment Written by Sarah The BAFTAs represent Noomi Rapace’s most prominent recognition for her work as Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium Trilogy, specifically The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Style BAFTA why are you there Jessica Alba? The blue is lovely on her. Really, really sharp. It’s Versace. (The Jolie wears Versace a lot. I wish she’d chosen this for herself at the Golden Globes instead of looking like she’d just walked out of a polygamist sect.) I do love the double braid. A By Lainey • Feb 13, 2011 07:50 pm

Bad Style BAFTA you can do better: Hailee Steinfeld Have been really, really impressed with Hailee Steinfeld’s awards season and premiere style choices. Her selection for the BAFTAs however fell a little short of standard. Not feeling the tricked out sheer top. Not feeling whatever it is that’s coming out of her waist. Reminds me of Mad By Lainey • Feb 13, 2011 07:23 pm
BAFTA 2010 BAFTAs 2011 I really, really love the British star system. I wish Canada would encourage a star system. There are stars in Britain who are super, super, super famous there and no one knows who the f-ck they are outside their borders. Like those girls in Girls Aloud. I’m not actually By Lainey • Feb 13, 2011 07:17 pm

BFFs Pre-Grammy GOOP with B & J Gwyneth Paltrow will perform with Cee-Lo and the Jim Henson Company Puppets at the Grammys this weekend in LA. No doubt she’s been rehearsing in seclusion.

Style Cammie’s pink jeans Really love how she’s wearing them. Really love how they look on her. Really love the entire outfit.
