VIMwatch: 2011 BAFTAs

Ladies

If it hasn't been made obvious already, we pretty much adore Brown University sophomore and British actress Emma Watson. Last night, the Harry Potter hottie chose a one-shouldered, lace Valentino gown and absolutely stunned, putting many of the others to shame.

We simply couldn't come to a decision regarding our second choice so have decided it's a tie: The always lovely Amy Adams chose a salmon-colored Elie Saab gown for the event and the Fighter actress and mother wowed us from head to toe. Also, Harry Potter star and recently engaged young lady Bonnie Wright managed to create bohemian-chic for the red carpet in a creation from Clements Ribeiro.

Gents

Always a Spartan favorite, Gerard Butler looked dapper over the weekend as he sported a classic black-and-white suit and silk bow tie.

Second only to Gerard, designer Tom Ford attended the ceremony as Julianne Moore's date and looked ravishing in what we can only assume is his own, velvet coat creation. Work that red carpet, Tom.

"Talk American" with HP7 Stars

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Okay, so maybe we're on a bit of a Harry Potter kick after checking out the film last night, but this was too funny and adorable to not share (especially the always charming Tom Felton, a.k.a. Draco Malfoy).

Check out the stars of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have a go at talking "American" with MTV's Josh Horowitz. High-larious!

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I

To sum up the seventh (part one) installment of the infamous Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) film series in two words: absolutely brilliant! If we could give it five kisses, we definitely would. Everything works in this newest flick--the acting, direction, special effects, costuming--and we wouldn't be surprised if it continues to break record after record. Apart from leaving you on the edge of your seat, itching to just watch Part II already, the film is chilling. For lovers of the Potter novels, this is the journey you have been waiting for since turning that last page. Part I brings the books to life in a way that is new and practically unlike what has come before. For those that watch the films without a love for the text, this flick may be just good enough to have you wanting to pick up at least the last novel (if only to know how it ends).
Best on-screen moment: When Hermione (Emma Watson) narrates the wizardly tale of The Three Brothers.

Looking for a Drastic Change in Time for the Holidays?

Try the hairstyle sweeping the nation: The Pixie Cut.

We've blogged previously about starlet Emma Watson's new hair and we couldn't resist mentioning the hairstyle again (in leiu of this Friday's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I release).

And it's not only Ms. Watson, plenty of Hollywood starlets are opting for a shorter 'do these days. VIM has compiled our faves.

Emma Watson unveils a new, shorter do.

Emma Watson unveiled a much shorter do this week, calling it "the most liberating thing ever."

The Harry Potter star told Entertainment Weekly that she had been wanting to cut her hair short since she was 16. However, she had to keep her long locks due to playing Hermione, but with the final Harry Potter installment wrapped, the star said she finally was free to cut it all off.

Watson said she knows people will have an opinion about it, but we at VIM think her new cut is cute and practical for college students. With Watson entering her second year at Brown University, her new gamine cut will slash her morning prep time significantly.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part I will be released Nov. 19 and Part II this coming summer--on July 15, 2011.
