BAFTAs 2026: 25 Standout Looks from the Red Carpet

The British Academy Film Awards return to London’s Royal Festival Hall, opening with fashion moments that set the evening’s tone. On this night of cinematic achievement, stars prove their sartorial choices are as significant as the awards themselves.

Tilda Swinton reminds everyone why she is a style icon, stepping out in a cropped Chanel tuxedo with high-waisted trousers that balance elegance and androgyny. Gracie Abrams makes her entrance in a sheer Chanel gown, alongside Paul Mescal in a relaxed Prada suit.

Prada’s signature touch extends across the carpet, from Sadie Sink in a sage-green double satin gown to Kerry Washington in navy chiffon with intricate pleats, each outfit reflecting the Italian house’s precision and flair.

Several celebrities champion British designers for their red carpet looks. Teyana Taylor stuns in a plum Burberry gown, with trench-inspired details shaping the statement silhouette. Glenn Close embodies sophistication in Erdem’s floral-embroidered blazer and midi skirt, while Wunmi Mosaku stands out in a cobalt-blue creation by Ahluwalia.

The men match the intensity of the evening: Ethan Hawke wears a subtly sparkled Giorgio Armani suit, Cillian Murphy impresses in a double-breasted Ferragamo, and Noah Jupe appears in a softly structured Jacquemus suit. Swipe below to see more of our favourite looks from the night.
