Some of Hollywood’s biggest names arrived at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the 2019 British Academy Film Awards, or BAFTAs, the annual ceremony that serves to recognise accomplishments within the film industry. Hosted by BAFTA Fellowship Award winner and Absolutely Fabulous actress Joanna Lumley, the event saw a number of famous faces take to the red carpet in looks that were nothing short of noteworthy.
The Favourite’s Olivia Coleman, who won Leading Actress on the night, was styled by Mary Fellowes in an Emilia Wickstead ivory and black bedini gown, complete with a structured train. “I felt that Olivia should look stately and regal,” Fellowes told British Vogue of her look for the evening. While Lady Gaga was notably absent on the night, attending the Grammys in Los Angeles instead, fellow Leading Actress nominees Glenn Close and Viola Davis walked the carpet in Alexander McQueen and Armani Privé, respectively.
Kate Middleton attended the award ceremony alongside her husband Prince William, the president of the British Academy Film Awards, who also presented film editor Thelma Schoonmaker with the Fellowship award. The Duchess looked every bit as royal as she is, dressed in a white one-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown that cinched at the waist. Completing the look with a white clutch and silver Jimmy Choo heels, Middleton paid tribute to the late Princess Diana, honouring her by wearing her South Sea pearl earrings, the same pair she wore while accepting the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year Award in 1995.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Margot Robbie caught our attention in an embellished Chanel haute couture gown, while fellow Australian Cate Blanchett debuted her new brunette ‘do in a jaw-dropping black Christopher Kane number complete with a thigh-high split and a plunging jewel encrusted neckline (above).
