The world’s biggest stars arrived at the BAFTAs last night, bringing a wave of classic Hollywood glamour to London’s Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, which promised to be the “most ambitious and accessible night yet.” It certainly delivered ambition in terms of the looks, which featured frills, feathers and metallic gowns that resembled the awards themselves.
Florence Pugh, who was in attendance to support her film The Wonder, secured the unofficial best dressed trophy after she arrived in a bright orange, translucent gown by Harris Reed for Nina Ricci. Pugh, who also performed a spoken word poem at Reed’s own fashion week show this Thursday in London, was one of the many stars to bring a pop of colour to the red carpet. She was joined by red-carpet-reliable Jodie Turner-Smith, who went full showgirl in a billowing lavender feather and sequin Gucci look, accessorised with a massive diamond Chopard choker.
