London Fashion Week front rows for Erdem and Burberry aren't the only places where stars are gathering on Sunday, February 22. Just across town, the best-dressed stars on the 2026 BAFTAs (British Academy Film Awards) red carpet took over London's Royal Festival Hall with even more looks to dissect.
With Traitors host Alan Cumming presiding over a ceremony filled with awards season's best-dressed stars, the BAFTAs red carpet was bound to be an awards season highlight. But royals Prince William and Princess Kate making an appearance upped the styling ante even more. With monarchs on the red carpet, this wasn't an evening where nominees like Jessie Buckley and Teyana Taylor wanted to take exaggerated risks with, say, exposed Schiaparelli butt cleavage or a completely naked dress. Rather, the mood of the evening was palace-worthy refinement, with a range of velvet gowns, jewel tones, and tastefully open backs. Kate Hudson looked radiant in an off-the-shoulder red gown by Prada, while Wunmi Mosaku channeled the speakeasy aesthetic of Sinners in a layered fringe gown by Ahluwalia. As for the Princess? She brought a blush pink Gucci dress back out from her personal archive.
