With all eyes on her, Freida Pinto, star of nine-times BAFTA-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, ensured she looked her very best with a beauty secret from Cosmetics A La Carte.
On the night of the star-studded awards ceremony, she wore a blend of Cosmetics A La Carte Skin Tint Foundation for its natural look and even coverage.
Now all we need to find out is who does her hair!
Remember a few weeks ago I celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary? Well, two dear friends, Cath and Pete, came to London for a few nights and we met up. My husband and I met them in St Lucia and they were at our wedding. They also got married two days later and we have remained dear friends for life.
My husband is a member of The Ivy Private members' club and we all had a wonderful evening together over dinner. The food was delicious (especially the dessert). We laughed so much and had so much to catch up on. I had a few comments on my Lola Rose Today's Special Value that I had chosen to wear.
We spotted Louis Walsh arriving for dinner from the USA prior to his Saturday night X-Factor show. Theo Paphitis from Dragons Den arrived in his Rolls Royce and I passed Tom Stoppard on the way to the cloakroom...before we knew it, it was Midnight and we had had an incredible night to remember.

My lovely husband (he might read this), Paul Coia, was doing some interviews last week for his new show on Smooth Radio. His guest was the handsome John Barrowman, star of many a musical and Sci-Fi series.
When asked "True or false - you once rang QVC live on air to tell them how wonderful they are?", Captain Jack confessed to watching QVC a lot, since he comes home from the theatre at all kinds of odd hours.
He added, "They have this range called Northern Nights - if you were to come into my bedroom you would find all my bedding is Northern Nights. It's so luxurious - I love it. AND, if you were to come into my kitchen - it's all cook's essentials!"
So if you've ever wondered how the other half live, there it is - the stars live exactly the same way as we do! It gets you thinking about who else watches QVC, doesn't it...?

Well, the Christmas party season is well and truly here! I had a great time last week at the 10th Anniversary of 'Open House with Gloria Hunniford' in the West End.
A few years ago, I used to deputise for La Hunniford when she was on holiday. Do you remember the show? Channel 5 every afternoon? Gloria would open her front door and be totally shocked day after day to find 300 guests in her living room.
If the truth be told, it was always easy to get audience members, who were mostly senior citizens, tired from shopping in Oxford Street and needing a bit of warmth and a sit down.
The stars on 'Open House with Gloria Hunniford'
It was a great show. All the big stars appeared on it, stars like Cliff, Boris the Tarantula, SAS members (whose faces had to be blacked out for anonymity while maximising publicity for their books), Daniel O'Donnell and our own Glen Campbell.
My husband Steven and I were guests at ITV1's show Divas II at the weekend. We had a great time.
The glitzy music bash marked the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and had an amazing musical line-up. We were lucky enough to see more big names than you can shake a stick at - Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Pink, Gabriella Cilmi, Anastacia and legend Dionne Warwick. The highlights of the BCC Fashion Show were also shown.
Hi there,
I went to the Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards last Thursday and thought I'd fill you in on all the gossip. It took place in London's Battersea Park and it was certainly an evening full of glitz and glamour!
QVC was the official hair and beauty sponsors with Leighton Denny on hand to take care of nails, Louise Galvin in charge of hair and Sue Devitt was the make-up guru! They all did a great job providing the finishing touches to the models and pampering the guests.

Everyone knows Joan Rivers for her scorching wit and clever one-liners, and now she's decided to turn her life into a new autobigraphical play.
Joan Rivers - Work in Progress by a Life in Progress receives its UK debut at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and is already playing to packed-out houses.
Catch her latest interview on her new show at The Guardian's website, and see her fabulous jewellery right here at QVC!
We caught up with Lulu to chat about men, music and her Time Bomb range…
Who are your dream dinner guests?
Elton John - he's funny, well informed and a great gossip! His partner David is also great, he's very charming and a wonderful party guest. I'd also invite Barack Obama as I would love to have a chat with him. But I'm a girl's girl, so I would invite my friend Susannah Constantine (from Trinny and Susannah), my sister and my nieces.
What qualities do you look for in a man?
A sense of humour is very important. I like sophisticated men, someone that's well travelled and can keep up a conversation. I like men who enjoy the arts. Oh and he's got to be able to dance - the Salsa!
What are your three desert island essentials?
My Time Bomb Survival Kit, water and an umbrella.
Hi! I went to the BAFTAs on Sunday night and had a great time! Seeing Dame Judy Dench at the event was fantastic - she looked incredible, and of course Bruce Forsyth winning the Fellowship award was lovely to be a part of. Graham Norton was a true professional and from a television point of view I was very impressed to see how smoothly the night went.
My chocolate BAFTAs
I arrived really hungry and was hoping for some food, but we were running a little late. By the end of the show I was really starving! On the way out of the Palladium to the meal there were trays and trays of chocolates in the shape of the BAFTA mask. While most people were taking just one or two, I took several handfuls which helped ease the hunger before the main meal! Not a healthy thing to do I'm sure!
After-show dinner
We arrived at the Grosvenor for the after-show meal. Wow, loads of champagne and a three course meal - although I don't drink so I stuck with fizzy water. I sat next to Camilla Dallerup from Strictly Come Dancing, she was lovely and like me was looking forward to the meal. Michelle Collins (pictured) was also on my table, she's a lovely girl.

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed watching the BAFTAs on TV. You may have spotted some of the celebs wearing QVC jewellery, I helped them choose their accessories.
QVC's style suite
I had a style suite on Friday where celebs attending the BAFTAs could pop in for some style advice and choose jewellery from QVC to complement their outfit. Some of them brought their outfit, a few brought photos and some came without anything and we just had to work from memory!
The celebs
We had a constant flow of people throughout the day. Melinda Messenger picked a beautiful Butler & Wilson bracelet.
Lucy Speed dropped by, she actually got her dress from the high street, so she picked some chic jewellery to complement it. She doesn’t like anything too over the top, so I helped her pick a Butler & Wilson pearl bracelet and a gold pearl ring.
Camilla Dallerup from Strictly Come Dancing wore a dress designed by the winner of Project Catwalk. She was a little worried about choosing the jewellery to go with such a contemporary dress, but we found her some great pieces by Butler & Wilson and Joan Rivers.
Some of the celebs couldn’t make it to the style suite, so we sent jewellery out to them. I sent a fabulous Butler & Wilson necklace and earrings to Joanna Lumley. Michelle Collins wore a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood dress, and she chose Butler & Wilson accessories - a chunky red bracelet, small red hoop earrings and a chunky black ring.
Best dressed
In my eyes, one of the best dressed people was Ellen Page from the film Juno. She wore a long, backless black dress with a deep V neckline and pretty beading detail.
The BAFTAs used to be seen as the Oscars not-so-glamorous British equivalent, but now people are definitely making more of an effort to look fabulous.
