19/02/2023 - 05:50 PM

Another Sunday, another fresh batch of award show looks [1] to swoon over. The 2023 BAFTAs took place in London on 19 Feb., gathering stars from all over the globe to celebrate the best British and international movies of the year. Film critic Ali Plumb and broadcaster Vick Hope [2] hosted the red carpet at Royal Festival Hall, spotlighting all the statement-making dresses and dapper suits.

Standout looks included Florence Pugh's red ruffled gown [3], Hoyeon's gold strapless ballgown, and Jodie Turner-Smith's purple rhinestone and feather-embellished dress, which she completed with crystal eye makeup [4]. Anya Taylor-Joy also wowed in a champagne-coloured minidress and shawl, Cynthia Erivo made a dazzling entrance in a bronze dress with a structural neckline, and and Lily James chose a white Tamara Ralph dress [5] with a plunging crystal and pearl-embellished neckline. You might have also noticed the stars wearing blue ribbons [6] in support of refugees on the red carpet.

It was a big night at the ceremony for royal fans, too. Prince William and Kate Middleton made their first BAFTAs appearance since 2020, with Kate recycling the Alexander McQueen gown [7] she wore for the show back in 2019. Dame Helen Mirren [8] also took to the stage to honour the late Queen Elizabeth with a special tribute.

This year's nominees included Angela Bassett ("Black Panther [9]: Wakanda Forever"), Ana de Armas ("Blonde"), Viola Davis ("The Woman King"), Paul Mescal [10] ("Aftersun"), Michelle Yeoh ("Everything Everywhere All at Once"), and so many more. Aimee Lou Wood, Daryl McCormack, Emma Mackey, Naomi Ackie, and Sheila Atim were all up for the coveted rising star award, which celebrates up-and-coming talents in the acting industry and is voted for by the public.
