The 77th annual British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards (Baftas) last night honoured excellence on the big screen at the Royal Festival Hall in London

A-list guests included Prince William, Naomi Campbell, Cate Blanchett, Lily Collins and David Beckham.   

Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster Oppenheimer continue with its winning streak, sweeping with seven wins including best film and best director. Lead star and Irish actor Cillian Murphy picked up best actor, while Downey Jr won best supporting actor. Emma Stone walked away with best actress for her role in Poor Things, with Da’ Vine Joy Randolph’s Oscar hopes gaining further momentum after winning best supporting actress for The Holdovers.

But our eyes were fixated to the red carpet. Here are the best looks from the night.   

Taylor Russell  

The 29-year-old Canadian actor, who has been romantically linked to Harry Styles, channelled old Hollywood glamour in a creamy backless Loewe gown with feathers that took our breath away. The 1920s-inspired slicked hairdo completed the roaring jazz era style.
