Sorry Tess, Angelina did it first! Miss Daly ditches the gown and imitates Jolie’s BAFTA tuxedo style

Angelina Jolie won fashion plaudits when she took to the BAFTA red carpet wearing a tuxedo.

So it was only a matter of time before others followed suit with Tess Daly being the latest to toss away the gown in favour of the tailored look.

The 44-year-old Strictly Come Dancing co-host mirrored Jolie’s relaxed elegance when she wore a black tux to Tuesday’s TRIC Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

However, despite the slouchy stance, Tess’s buttoned-up attempt was somewhat more formal than Jolie’s more carefree sihouette.

Tess completed her look with a pair of shapely stilettos, while a matching leather handbag – held in both hands as she rubbed shoulders with members of a star-studded crowd  – finished things off.

Angelina and her fiancé Brad Pitt opted for matching black suits as they attended the BAFTAs, with only an unbuttoned collar distinguishing the stunning actress from her heartthrob partner.

Tess balanced out her masculine look with smokey eyes and nude shiny lips and while the flattering look worked, it could not compare to Jolie.

Looking tanned and radiant in a sky blue shirt, she rubbed shoulders with showbiz pals Alice Beer, Aamonn Holmes, actress Emilia Fox, singer Peter Andre with girlfriend Emily MacDonagh, and Spice Girl Emma Bunton, among others.

She also chatted to fans who applauded her androgynous look as she arrived.
