The BAFTAs returned for their first full capacity in-person ceremony since the start of the pandemic last night so, naturally, it was cause for celebration and for some serious red carpet style! Hosted by comedian and actress Rebel Wilson, we saw wins for actors Joanna Scanlon, Will Smith, Ariana DeBose, Troy Kotsur and Lashana Lynch, with the big film winners of the night being The Power of the Dog (Best Film) and Belfast (Best British Film). In addition to the winners of the ceremony, there were also countless winners on the red carpet with the stars pulling out all of the stops for this year’s ceremony. Read on to discover the fashion winners of the night in all of their glamorous glory!
Sienna Miller
Actress Sienna Miller rocked up to the ceremony in a flowing silky dress courtesy of Gucci, and touched up with a necklace and earrings from Boucheron, adding a shining sparkle to her outfit. She also donned a pair of dramatic black laced gloves which added just the right amount of glamorous flare to the look.
Daisy Edgar-Jones
Normal People actress Daisy Edgar-Jones also wore a Gucci dress for the evening with hers being an extravagant custom shimmering piece in an icy blue hue. The sheer amount of sparkle from the dress clearly wasn’t enough though, as she was also wearing a bracelet and rings courtesy of Tiffany & Co. The mere presence of Daisy’s outfit made the whole night sparkle a whole lot more.
Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh looked a world away from her characters in films Midsommar and Black Widow, trading their looks of casual wear and skin-tight fighting gear for an elegantly tailored mini dress from Carolina Herrera with a delicately flowing pastel pink train attached at the back, adding a nice pop of colour to the outfit. Florence was also donning some Boucheron jewellery with two fabulous, glimmering rings adding a subtle but noticeable touch of shine to the outfit.
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek added a wonderful touch of royalty to the red carpet in a glamorous velvet gown by Gucci in a romantically deep purple. The dress itself was lined with lace along the sleeves and chest, with subtly raised shoulders which gave Hayek a very vintage look which she pulled off flawlessly. Her painted black nails and Boucheron jewellery only added to that vintage glamour.
Simone Ashley
Bridgerton star Simone Ashley was definitely one of the most colourful stars of the night in a hot pink Valentino get-up consisting of a sheer top, oversized trousers and a dramatic cape. As if the bright colour wasn’t enough, Simone also accessorised with a bracelet from Tiffany & Co. to add just a tad of sparkle to shine amongst the pink.
Ariana DeBose
Oscar de la Renta was the designer of choice for West Side Story star Ariana DeBose, whose bright yellow dress was perfect as spring is just around the corner. The cut of the dress was also very vintage, twisting around DeBose and leading into a trail behind her, all while allowing her to flash some leg. She also wore some Bulgari jewellery and accessorised the dress itself with a stunning ruby red brooch which complimented the yellow of the dress beautifully.
Millie Bobby Brown
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown was dressed head-to-toe in Louis Vuitton, going for a gothic look which added a sense of drama to the red carpet. The velvet top of the dress led into a Victorian styled lace skirt which provided a cool texture contrast for the look. The actress also wore a lace bralette and elegant black opera gloves to really tie the gothic vibe together.
Zawe Ashton
Handmaid’s Tale star Zawe Ashton also brought some pink to the runway much like Simone Ashley. Whilst the pink of Zawe’s outfit wasn’t as loud as Simone’s it still nevertheless provided a pleasing pop of colour for the red carpet, with the calming shade of pink being very tranquil on the eyes. The dress was provided by Emilia Wickstead and flew loosely down Ashton from neck to toe, creating a look that looked both glamorous and quite comfortable.
Shalom Brune-Franklin
Shalom Brune-Franklin, star of The Tourist, wore a cut-out gown embellished with sequins from top to bottom, all courtesy of Ermanno Scervino. The already dazzling look was made even more dazzling by rings from De Beer, giving Shalom one of the most sparkling outfits of the night.
Bimini Bon-Boulash
Drag Race UK star Bimini Bon-Boulash brought high glamour and high drama to the red carpet in a sheer asymmetrical lace dress paired with blue lace opera gloves and some wonderfully chic heels, with the whole look exuding power and glamour flawlessly. Bimini also accessorized with jewellery from De Beers to add just a little extra to the already amazing outfit.
Naomi Campbell
Icon of the fashion world, Naomi Campbell, wore a flowing velvet gown from Burberry and topped it off with some Fawaz Grusoi earrings and bracelet. It was by all accounts a very simple look, yet that didn’t make it any less striking or beautiful for Naomi, as she looked graceful and elegant to the core. There really is beauty in simplicity.
Emma Watson
Emma Watson wore a distinctly more modern look compared to the vintage feel that a lot of other stars went for and, of course, she looked fantastic. The Little Women star wore a monochromatic two-tone tulle dress with a slick black vest on top and a flowing white gown below. She also sported some elegant black heels which wrapped around her ankles and carried a chic white purse which complimented the vibe of the outfit wonderfully.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga brought some vintage Hollywood glamour to the red carpet this year wearing a truly stunning twisted dress from Ralph Lauren in a gorgeous emerald green. Gaga accessorized with some Tiffany & Co. jewelry and a chic fluffy handbag, whilst also adding a typical Gaga touch to the outfit by donning some truly huge platform heels that made her presence well and truly known.
Daniel Kaluuya
Get Out and Queen & Slim star Daniel Kaluuya wore on one the most daring and mesmerizing coats we’ve seen on a red carpet so far this year. The coat, from Prada’s AW 2022 menswear collection, was oversized and lined with large blocks of teal fuzz across the middle of the arms and along the bottom quarter of the coat giving it a distinctly glamorous feel that isn’t all too common in menswear red carpet looks. Some chunky rings from Bulgari were accessorised tastefully and the white turtle-neck Daniel was wearing underneath the coat brought another level of class to an already undeniably classy look.
Adwoa Aboah
Fashion model Adwoa Aboah wore a strikingly elegant black gown courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent which draped gracefully down her body in a loose-fitting form for a very classic look. In addition to the dress she also wore some wonderful jewellery from Tiffany & Co, with her square earrings filled with a deep, dark blue being the standout pieces.
Alexa Demie
Euphoria star Alexa Demie wore a piece from Alaïa’s SS 22 collection last night which was one of the most unique outfits of the ceremony. The hot pink look was vibrant, whilst also cutting a unique silhouette with billowing sleeves draping down the actress’s arms and blending into the dress itself. Demie also wore a matching pink headpiece, adding just a touch more flair to the outfit.
