BAFTA Awards 2021: The Best Celebrity Hair and Makeup Looks of the Night

Mbatha-Raw gave us major roaring '20s vibes with shiny finger waves by hairstylist Paul Edmonds (who is actually the official hair partner for the EE British Academy Film Awards) and a deep, mulberry-coloured lip, painted on by makeup artist Alex Babsky. On Babsky's IG, he confirmed the exact hue is Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Drama Matte Lipstick in Purple Temptation (£18).

Makeup artist Wendy Rose painted Chopra Jonas's lips a gorgeous shade of crimson.

Chopra Jonas decided to try out one of 2021's biggest hairstyle trends — the bubble ponytail — for the evening. To get that gorgeous volume, hairstylist Luke Pluck Rose sprayed Anomaly Dry Shampoo throughout the tail before adding the hair grips.

We love the combination of Amfo's high ponytail with a stacked eyeliner look — black along her lash line and a bold teal drawn along the top.

With a side part and face-framing waves, Dynevor's hairstyle (by hairstylist Dayaruci) evoked old Hollywood glam à la Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner, but with a more relaxed, modern feel. Her makeup for the evening was also quite classic — makeup artist Naoko Scintu applied a flick of black eyeliner and a creamy neutral, pinky-beige lipstick.

The best actress nominee (for her lead role in the film His House), wore her hair in a gorgeous, intricately sculpted half-up hairstyle by Felicia Leatherwood that perfectly showed off her jewels and striking neckline. Her makeup artist for the evening, Tasha Reiko Brown kept things subtle, placing emphasis on her lips and brows.

Erivo complemented her signature short crop with pretty pink shadow and a neutral glossy lip.

Nominated for best supporting actress for her role in UK indie drama County Lines, Madekwe celebrated her special night a graphic beauty look complete with black winged shadow (the handiwork of makeup artist Jo Baker) and a slick braided ponytail that went all the way down to her waist (the handiwork of hairstylist Larry Sims).

EE Rising Star winner, Bukky Bakray, looked absolutely lovely with a high topknot (by hairstylist Dionne Smith) and a sumptuous, pinky-mauve lip that perfectly matched her dress. To create the exact hue, makeup artist Joy Adenuga combined two Lancôme lip colours: L'Absolu Rouge Intimatte Lipstick in Killing Me Softly (£27.50) and L'Absolu Lacquer Lipstick in Let Me Shine (£26).

We'll never get tired of stars pairing an elegant evening gown with an easy-looking hairstyle — like Cookson did her with her relaxed chignon complete with face-framing tendrils.

The best actress nominee balanced her floaty, ruffled dress with a tight topknot and exaggerated black winged liner that extended all the way to the tail ends of her brows. "For Niamh we created a look that is all about strong eyes and brows, with flawless skin," makeup artist Alet Viljoen said about the look via press release. "To create this faded out yet strong eye, I smudged the liquid line with black pencil." The liquid eyeliner was Lancôme Liner Plume (£23.50), whilst the pencil was Lancôme Crayon Khôl in Noir (£19).

Screenwriter and playwright Theresa Ikoko was not only nominated for three awards this evening, but also wowed us with her beautiful braids that featured platinum blonde braiding hair woven throughout.
