The BAFTAs 2026 brought the film world together once again at London’s iconic Royal Festival Hall, and as always, the red carpet proved nearly as captivating as the awards themselves. From timeless Old Hollywood-inspired gowns to sharp contemporary tailoring, this year’s looks delivered a mix of elegance, experimentation and headline-ready fashion moments.

Leading nominees including Emma Stone and Jessie Buckley arrived in looks that balanced classic craftsmanship with modern styling, while stars such as Teyana Taylor leaned into sculptural silhouettes and bold accessories that ensured all eyes stayed firmly on the carpet.
