The 2026 British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) Awards took place last night at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre, and the star-studded occasion brought out plenty of impeccably dressed celebrities who hit the red carpet prior to the ceremony. The Sunday, Feb. 22 event, which was hosted by actor Alan Cumming, honored the best in film and television, with A-listers like Kate Hudson, Alicia Vikander and Odessa A’zion showcasing some truly incredible fashion.

While Jessie Buckley took home the award for Best Leading Actress (for her work in Hamnet) and Wunmi Mosaku was bestowed the Best Supporting Actress award (for Sinners), there were plenty more winners where style was concerned. Below, find just a few of our favorite looks from the evening’s red carpet.

Looking like a mint green dream, Sink’s Alexander McQueen dress featured peek-a-boo cut-out sides and with the slightest high-low hem, offered a peek at the Stranger Things star’s strappy footwear.
