LONDON. — Hollywood’s brightest stars arrived in London for the 2025 Baftas — and showed off a whole load of eye-catching red carpet looks in the process.
The biggest names in the film industry opted for high sartorial drama when they descended upon the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday ahead of the ceremony.
The event, which recognises the year’s best films and TV shows,is always a highlight of awards season, and guests pulled out all the stops in sequinned gowns, fashion-forward tailoring and monochromatic outfits.
Here is how some of the stars dressed:
ARIANA GRANDE
The first time Bafta nominee has been method dressing (aka, choosing outfits subtly inspired by her character) during the Wicked press tour, so it was perhaps inevitable that Ariana Grande would go for a Glinda-approved shade of pale pink. Her custom Louis Vuitton dress cleverly played with proportion, offsetting the voluminous skirt with a plunging velvet bodice.
COLMAN DOMINGO
You can always rely on Colman Domingo to blow away the competition on the red carpet. The star of Sing Sing has carved out a reputation as one of the most stylish men in Hollywood, and his cheerily OTT Versace ensemble was a beacon of fashion fun in a sea of boring suits. We can’t wait to see what he wears at the Academy Awards and at the Met Gala later this year.
CAMILA CABELLO
Singer Camila Cabello resurrected the naked dress trend for 2025, wearing a blush pink corset overlaid with a gorgeously intricate diamante skirt. We can only imagine just how freezing she must have been while posing outside in the British chill.
ZOE SALDANA
The Emilia Perez star’s Saint Laurent gown, with its feathered neckline, looked like something that a very glamorous Disney villain might pull out of their wardrobe before causing havoc (in the most complimentary sense possible).
GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE
The Game of Thrones and Star Wars actor can always be relied on to make a statement on the red carpet with a bold look, and her Bafta ensemble was no exception. Gwendoline Christie opted for gothic glamour in a high-necked black gown with lace detailing at the shoulders and witchy deconstructed sleeves. Her icy blonde, waist-length hair deserves a moment of appreciation, too.
AJ ODUDU
You only have to look at the array of incredible outfits AJ Odudu wears to host the Big Brother live shows to know she has superb taste. For this year’s Baftas, she pulled off one of her most sensational looks yet. The presenter looked like a high fashion Princess Leia in this draped, hooded white dress complete with a thigh-high split.
STACY MARTIN
Another star bringing a touch of mermaidcore to the Royal Festival Hall was actor Stacy Martin, who looked seriously ethereal in a pale green gown dripping with sequins and embellishment.
VERA WANG
An upside-down bralet. Square sunglasses that could be straight out of a sci-fi film. Bared midriff. A peplum skirt. Safe to say, there was a lot going on when it came to Vera Wang’s Bafta look, but the designer (who, if you needed a reminder, is 75 years old) pulled it off with her usual aplomb. — The Independent.
