14 DAY TRIAL // Last night, the British Academy of Film celebrated the best of the best in terms of films, performances and directors for the year that ended. Two of the many stars that walked the red carpet before the main event, braving the wet and cold weather outside, were “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart – and suffice it to say both did it in great style.
For starters, we might as well note that, though they both attended the same ceremony, the two stars, who have often been linked romantically by the tabloid media, did not arrive together. Neither did they pose side by side for pictures. However, both looked very fab, with Pattinson rocking his usual messy ‘do and an impeccable suit, while Stewart was a slender stunner in a short, white dress.
As fans must know, one of the many things Pattinson is famous for is his unruly hair, which he once said he rarely bothered to wash because it looked better when it was a bit dirty. He did not forget about his trademark messy ‘do for the BAFTAs – and, oddly enough, it actually complimented the made-to-measure Gucci suit, a “black peak lapel two button tuxedo with white dress shirt, black silk tie and black leather lace up shoes,” as JustJared puts it. The actor matched this with that amazing smile that can – and does – send women all over the world swooning, especially when seen from up close, or at least closer than through a photo.
His “Twilight Saga” co-star, Kristen Stewart, was equally gorgeous, especially knowing that she rather resented getting all dolled up for the red carpet. Coming to prove that wearing jeans and sneakers almost at all times was more of a personal choice than, say, the inability to look good in a skirt, Kristen dazzled in a white, body-hugging, strapless Chanel dress, matched with white pumps. She kept makeup down to a minimum, while choosing to wear her hair swept back in a very modern way, suited for her age.
Though Pattinson was not nominated for any award, his presence at the ceremony was also explained by the fact that he presented one. Kristen, on the other hand was nominated for and won the Orange Rising Star Award, beating out other stars like Nicholas Hoult, Tahar Rahim, Carey Mulligan and Jesse Eisenberg.
