Rachel Stevens pays homage to Natalie Portman as she is announced as the hostess for Orange Wednesdays red carpet coverage from the BAFTAs

Rachel Stevens, who has recently given birth to her first child, was today pictured recreating Natalie Portman’s iconic look from the critically acclaimed film, Black Swan as it is announced that she will be hosting the Orange Wednesdays red carpet coverage from the 2011 Orange BAFTAs.

Rachel will be anchoring the Orange Wednesdays red carpet coverage at the ceremony, conducting interviews and analysis with the leading lights of the movie industry; from the huge array of home-grown talent as well as many famous faces flying in from around the globe. The glittering awards ceremony will take place on Sunday 13 February at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London.

Rachel commented “It was a real honour to pay homage to Natalie’s fantastic look as the Black Swan. Unfortunately the tutu and make-up isn’t quite right for the red carpet so I’ll be swapping the ballet pumps for heels and a glamorous dress on the night!

I can't wait to present the Orange Wednesdays red carpet show at this years BAFTAs and chatting with some the world’s leading movie stars will be a fantastic experience. I’m thrilled Orange has asked me to get involved.”

The Orange Wednesdays red carpet coverage from the BAFTAs will be filmed and edited overnight and made available through orange.co.uk/bafta on Monday 14 February
