Much like everything else, this year’s BAFTAs are a little different than usual.

What would normally be a star-studded event, complete with a red carpet frequented by A-list actors and British royalty, and attended by the viewing public, has been forced to adapt to the current climate and go almost completely virtual.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s BAFTA Awards was stretched across two evenings, Saturday 10 April and Sunday 11 April, but took place at the usual venue of the Royal Albert Hall.

But just because the event was a little more stripped back than usual, that doesn’t mean it was any less of a glamorous affair.

Presenters in attendance at the event itself include, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Phoebe Dynevor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Cynthia Erivo, Hugh Grant, Richard E. Grant, Tom Hiddleston, and Felicity Jones, and each and everyone of them dressed to the nines for what was, for many, their first red carpet appearance in more than a year due to the number of live events that have been cancelled as a result of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, nominees due to attend virtually include Carey Mulligan, Vanessa Kirby, Chadwick Boseman, and Frances McDormand.

From Clara Amfo in a slick satin suit to Celeste in a deep green gothic gown, here are the best dressed celebrities at this year’s BAFTAs.

Phoebe Dynevor

The Bridgerton star chose an off-the-shoulder black gown by Louis Vuitton for the occasion that featured a puffed sleeve and a full skirt.

Dynevor accessories the look with statement jewels, including a diamond cocktail ring and diamond hoop earrings.

Cynthia Ervio

The British actor and singer donned a bedazzled ensemble for the evening, opting for a cocktail dress with a sequin gold thigh-grazing skirt and a bejewelled long-sleeved bodice.

To top things off, Ervio wore a silver nose ring and gold diamond hoop earrings.

Clara Amfo

The broadcaster opted for a simple black silk tailored look for this year’s Baftas.

The suit features an oversized jacket with fringing on the lapels and a pair of loose-fitting straight-leg trousers.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas

The celebrity power couple showed up in their respective evening garb, with Chopra Jonas pairing white high-waisted billowing trousers with a crimson jacket covered in floral embroidery.

Jonas, meanwhile, opted for a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie.

Celeste

The musician chose a deep sea green gown for the occasion that featured puffed shoulders and sleeves that double up as gloves.

The pleated skirt comprises strips of the same green fabric interspersed with black tulle.

A unique feature of the gown is the black embroidery that covers its bodice while also wrapping around Celeste’s neck to double as a necklace.

Corinne Bailey Ray

The singer chose a black and purple floral frock the the evening that featured a frilled hemline and bodice with thin straps.

Bailey Ray paired the dress with pointed black boots covered in studs.

David Oyelowo

The British actor and Selma star chose a simple navy blue single-breasted suit and tie for the Baftas.

He paired the ensemble with black velvet loafers.

Richard E Grant

The Can You Ever Forgive Me actor opted for a three-piece black suit for the BAFTAs, pairing a waistcoat with a matching blazer and pair of trousers.

Grant finished off his formal look with some classic lace-up brogues.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

The Morning Show star chose a fitted bejewelled silver gown by Louis Vuitton for the BAFTAs that came complete with a mesh top and a calf-skimming hemline.

Mbatha-Raw accessorised the sparkling look with a pair of silver strappy high heels and diamond jewellery.

Sophie Cookson

The British actor chose a full-length black velvet gown by Giorgio Armani for the evening that featured statement shoulder pads with sequin tassels.

Cookson styled her hair in a loose up-do and paired the dress with black satin pointed stilettos.

Tom Hiddleston

The Night Manager star mixed things up in with his tailoring by choosing a double-breasted black suit for the evening, where he will be presenting an award.

Hiddleston paired the suit with a classic white shirt and a bow tie.

James McAvoy

The Scottish actor added some pizzazz to his classic tailored like by wearing a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses on the red carpet.

The glasses might not have matched the rest of McAvoy’s more traditional awards season look - black suit and tie with satin lapels - but it certainly brought a dose of joy to the ensemble.
