From aquatic chic to dark glamor: Boldest looks at BAFTA
What's the story
The 2025 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) ceremony, which took place at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night, was a spectacle of high fashion drama.
Hollywood's biggest stars took to the red carpet in sequinned gowns, monochromatic outfits, and avant-garde tailoring.
From Game of Thrones actor Gwendoline Christie's gothic glamor to A Complete Unknown star Monica Barbaro's high-fashion mermaid look, here are some of the most daring looks from the event.
Star looks
Christie and Barbaro stunned with unique styles
Known for her work in GoT and Star Wars, Christie made a bold statement with her gothic glamor ensemble.
She donned a high-necked black gown with lace detailing at the shoulders and deconstructed sleeves. Her ice-blonde, waist-length hair added an extra touch of drama to her look.
Meanwhile, Barbaro—who plays Joan Baez opposite Timothee Chalamet in the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown—dazzled in a sequinned dress with a scalloped hem and wavy embellishments.
Black elegance
Hannah Dodd and Kelly Rutherford added drama to classic black
Bridgerton star Hannah Dodd gave the classic black dress a twist with a bejeweled over-skirt, embodying high fashion at the award ceremony.
Meanwhile, Gossip Girl actor Kelly Rutherford channeled her inner Lily van der Woodsen in a dramatic sculptural black gown.
With a high-low hem and an unexpected cut-out at the waist, the dress proved that even black opaque tights can be red carpet-worthy.
Dapper and daring
Jeff Goldblum and AJ Odudu showcased their unique fashion sense
Wicked star Jeff Goldblum looked dapper in a tailcoat with a feather-embellished waistcoat and his signature shades.
Television presenter AJ Odudu turned heads in a draped, hooded white dress with a thigh-high split. Her look was reminiscent of Princess Leia from Star Wars, making it one of her most sensational appearances yet at the BAFTAs.
The Substance star Demi Moore exuded both elegance and modern style, pairing the striking pattern and embellishments with understated hair and makeup.
