After a month of coiffing their locks and donning their finest gowns for Awards Season Stateside, the stars of the big screen arrived in London for the Baftas 2009.
The evening was studded with stunning gowns and sparkling jewels all tastefully done in a tone of understated luxury, perhaps reflecting the more frugal setting of a fragile British economy.
But what about the red carpet hair?
We asked Jamie Brooks of Brooks & Brooks, London, to give us his verdict on some of the hits (and the misses) of British cinema's most glittering Awards ceremony.
"There were plenty of up-do's, dressed hair and beautiful blow-dry's on show," says Jamie.
