Dramatic Monochromatic Fashion

The 2012 BAFTA Red Carpet Had Lots of Black and White Looks

— February 13, 2012 — Pop Culture
While the 54th Annual Grammy red carpet came to life outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the 2012 BAFTA red carpet took place outside of the Royal Opera House in London, England and was hosted by Stephen Fry.

The toast of the season in film and television graced the 2012 BAFTA Red Carpet and several stars turned out in black and white, ultra-formal looks. Jon Hamm, in Tom Ford and Daniel Radcliffe, in Antonio Azzuolo, both worked the tuxedo choice well, while stars like Michelle Williams, in H&M (surprisingly) and Octavia Spencer, in Valentino, also chose black and white looks.

Tilda Swinton wore white Celine, Kristen Wiig wore white Alberta Ferritti and Meryl Streep looked regal in a dramatic black Vivienne Westwood gown.
Trend Themes
1. Monochromatic Fashion - Monochromatic fashion is becoming increasingly popular among red carpet events and can be disrupted with innovative design techniques and unique fabric choices.
2. Black and White Looks - Black and white looks are being seen on many celebrity red carpets, presenting an oppurtunity for fashion designers to take this classic color combination and reinvent it by adding new twists and unique patterns.
3. Ultra-formal Wear - Ultra-formal wear is making a comeback on the red carpet for events like the BAFTAs and can be disrupted with innovative designs for menswear offering new and unique takes on the classic tuxedo.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - Fashion designers can utilize monochromatic fashion and new black and white trends presented on celebrity red carpets to create new clothing lines and a broader range of options for consumers.
2. Entertainment Industry - As red carpet events feature more black and white looks and ultra-formal wear, there is an oppurtunity for the entertainment industry to showcase unique fashion on their stars and inspire new fashion trends for consumers.
3. Textile Industry - Textile manufacturers can provide more unique and innovative fabrics to fashion designers catering to the rising popularity of monochromatic fashion, black and white looks, and ultra-formal wear.
