Awards season may culminate in Hollywood, but first it makes a rather glamorous stop in London. The BAFTA Awards have long served as a night where future Oscar winners are often foreshadowed by the British Arts Charity, and where the red carpet offers its own form of critique, often proving that personal style is a natural extension of on-screen performance.
This year’s guest list honours the onslaught of talent over the past 12 months in cinema, with nominees from One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Frankenstein, Sinners and more stepping out in considered, camera-ready looks. There were romantic plot twists, too: Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams made their red carpet debut as a couple—she in Chanel, he in Prada—and Kylie Jenner once again skipped the red carpet, only to support her partner, Timothée Chalamet, once inside.
Meanwhile, The Voice of Hind Rajab star Saja Kilani delivered a study in quiet elegance, wearing a textured ivory Bottega Veneta SS26 gown by Louise Trotter that balanced softness with sculptural precision on the red carpet.
Elsewhere, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, returned to the spotlight in a sweeping Gucci, and Jessie Buckley collected the coveted Best Leading Actress award in vibrant Dior.
Below, find all the standout looks that defined this year’s BAFTAs red carpet.
