Rebel Wilson's choice of outfit for the 2016 BAFTAs has given us all a lesson in the art of power dressing

For her first time attending the BAFTA Awards, the Australian funnywoman hit the red carpet in a chic power suit.

Although Wilson describes herself as having "zero fashion sense" - her words, certainly not ours - she feels a responsibility to take an interest in her style as "there aren’t any women in Hollywood my size and age".

"I saw a lot of girls were beginning to notice what I wear and I feel a kind of responsibility," she said in an interview with Elle.

The actress famously teamed up with Torrid - an American brand specialising in women's plus size clothing - to create her own fashion line last year.

"I've never really felt like there's a brand out there in the plus size world that is creating cool stuff, that fits well and is good quality yet affordable," she said of her first collection.
