Rival the red carpet in a bold burgundy gown
She might have had to be stitched in, but Oprah Winfrey looked like she was made for her BAFTA gown!
The chat show host and actress hit the red carpet in a lace bust burgundy dress by Stella McCartney, which she teamed with sleek black accessories and twinkling gold jewellery.
While it might be traditionally seen as an Autumnal shade, Proenza Schouler and Dries Van Noten went bonkers for burgundy this season.
Dresses with detail on the bust are great for pear shapes, as they'll give the illusion of a bigger bust, which will balance curvy hips.
