BAFTAs 2012 Red Carpet Roundup: Understated Chic Or Totally Boring? (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

It's the eleventh hour for Hollywood style, with celebs taking their final red carpet turns at the 2012 BAFTAs before the biggest red carpet of them all: the Oscars.

We have to admit that we were a bit underwhelmed with the amount of black and white on the British red carpet, but a few pops of color (thank goodness for Viola Davis and Fearne Cotton!) brightened up the night. But perhaps the stars are just saving up their energy for some super-exciting Oscars outfits?

At least that's what we're hoping. Below, check out the style stars of the night (we're developing a serious girl crush on Fearne), those whose fashions fell flat (sorry, Meryl Streep) and those who came out somewhere in the middle. Click through and vote: who had the best look of the evening?

Somehwere in England, a fabric store is missing several bolts of casket draping material, which were obviously used to dress half of the women attending the event. Queen Victoria would had loved their choices. Oh, sorry, I nodded off AGAIN...yawn.
