Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Tess Daly's Bafta tribute to the Golden Age

The hair/make-up
Rebecca Gonsalves: Side-swept waves and a strong red lip – the Old Hollywood glam look is a fail-safe for the slightly sun-kissed celebrity.
Hugh Montgomery: Tess's tresses: it's a suburban salon waiting to happen.
The earrings
Rebecca: Don't be scared by the rocks that she got – the Art Deco design of her huge pendant earrings keeps the Golden Age going.
Hugh: If caterpillars did Art Deco.
The dress
Rebecca: Bell sleeves are an odd addition, while sheer ruffles are never going to stand up to the windswept tundra of a British red carpet.
Hugh: Is this the mythic "Gatsby glam" they speak of? Well, bless her for bringing a forgotten novel into focus.
The bag
Rebecca: This is where things start to go wrong – has she stashed her lippy and house keys in a giant sea urchin?
Hugh: Either an off-cut from a Strictly cha-cha-cha dress or a chillaxing crow. You decide.
