Frocking hell! It’s the BAFTAs and the Grammys, rolled into one

64 pictures of frocks, pink hair, big hair, J-Lo’s leg and stunning beards. Work can wait.

AMBASSADOR, WITH THESE transatlantic frocks you are really spoiling us…

Last night was a red carpet enthusiast’s dream, with both the BAFTAS and the Grammys taking place in London and Los Angeles.

That is a lot of frocks to get through, so we’re going to divide them into sections.

We’ll be going by ‘Dresses That are Roughly the Same Colour’, ‘These People Broke the Grammy’s ‘No Arse or Breasticles on Show’ Rules, ‘Beard Off 2013’ and  ’Helen Mirren is Deadly’, followed by some miscellaneous categories (Paloma Faith’s Hair, Irish Eyes etc)

Right, let’s be having you…

Frocking hell! It’s the BAFTAs and the Grammys, rolled into one

  • Breaking the rules

    Katy Perry, I can see your dirty pillows, and if I look hard enough, I can tell what you had for breakfast. You have broken the Grammys' rules.

    Jennifer Lawrence wasn't really her usual luminous self. It really hurts us to say that. Jonathan Short/Invision/AP

    We will offer some kind of reward (maybe a TheJournal.ie mug, but NO PROMISES) for a picture of LL Cool J without his hat. Tammie Arroyo / AFF-USA.COM

    Hugh Jackman's beard is more of a goatee, so he's disqualified.

    The Clooney is holding it together very well, and he does have that silver fox thing going on...
  • Beard Off

    The beard and the overcoat are a great combination, we must admit....

    Bradley Cooper goes for a conventional knot. Quite jaunty, we think.

    Clare Danes and her cryface weren't at the BAFTAs, so Damien Lewis got all the Homeland glory.

    If you look closely enough, you can see Tim Burton's eyes casting furiously around for his one true love, Johnny Depp. Jonathan Short/Invision/AP
