Baftas 2022: Best dressed stars from Lady Gaga to Naomi Campbell
Red carpets are back, baby, and this year there are a slew of stars descending on the red carpet outside of London’s Royal Albert Hall for the 2022 Baftas.
As well as being the first full-capacity Baftas since the beginning of the pandemic, this year also marks the 75th anniversary of the British Academy Film Awards.
Last year’s event was more subdued, as many nominees and winners appeared via video call rather than in-person.
The Baftas celebrate the best in film, both British and internationally, and this year the sci-fi saga Dune leads the pack of nominations, followed by The Power of the Dog and Belfast.
Yet, it’s the red carpet where our eyes are firmly fixed, as we wait to see what sartorial statements the stars will make at this year’s awards.
See the best dressed stars at the 2022 Baftas below.
Simone Ashley
The Bridgerton season two actor offered one of the brightest looks of the night, wearing this fuchsia jumpsuit and cape with a sheer top.
Daisy Edgar-Jones
The Normal People and Fresh actor looked stunning in this blue tassel gown with her hair pulled back into a half-up, half-down look.
Naomi Campbell
The supermodel stayed on-trend with her square-neck black dress and light-hued nail polish. Her hair was long and sleek and she wore a smokey eye.
Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh took the opportunity to show off her new septum piercing at this year’s Baftas, accessorising her black mini dress (with a dramatic pink trail) with a silver necklace, earrings and multiple ear piercings.
Clara Amfo
Radio presenter Clara Amfo was one of the first to appear on the Baftas red carpet, wearing a silver metallic midi dress and matching silver heels.
Lady Gaga
The singer went all-out emerald with her 2022 Baftas look. Lady Gaga wore a dark green dress with a plunging neckline, sky-high platform heels, emerald and diamond jewellery and a matching dark-hued bag.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter
Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter made a striking pair, with Cumberbatch dressed in a classic black tuxedo and Hunter in a Greek-style golden gown. Cumberbatch showed solidarity with the people of Ukraine by wearing a blue and yellow badge, the colours of Ukraine’s flag.
Wunmi Mosaku
How fun is Wunmi Mosaku’s bright yellow gown? The actor kept her accessories simple, opting for gold heels and a white clutch.
Caitriona Balfe
The Belfast actor (and Bafta nominee) can do no wrong when it comes to red carpets and this year is no different. Balfe’s black floor-length gown is accessorise by powder pink drop earrings and a dramatic dark lip.
Renate Reinsve
Best Leading Actress nominee Renate Reinsve looked elegant in her floor-length white gown with a gold belt and gold sleeve detailing.
Andreea Cristea
Fashion influencer Andreea Cristea was another early attendee, and made a statement with her puff-sleeve, lime-hued floor-length gown.
Shalom Brune-Franklin
It’s safe to say we’re obsessed with Shalom Brune-Franklin’s 2022 Baftas look. The Tourist actor’s black sparkly cut-out, floor length gown is perfectly complemented by her chic updo.
Daisy Ridley
Daisy Ridley followed suit in all black, even down to her black nail polish. The Star Wars actor accessorised her black Bardot dress and tulle skirt with an emerald necklace, and a serpent-style ring.
Alana Haim
Leading Actress nominee and member of the band Haim, Alana Haim’s green dress had a deep V-neckline with a ruched waist.
Millie Mackintosh
The former Made in Chelsea star looked pretty in pink in this eighties-esque one-shoulder gown. Mackintosh let the dress do the talking, accessorising it only with black stilettos, diamond jewellery and matching pink lipstick.
Lucy Boynton
Opting for old-Hollywood glamour, Lucy Boynton’s blonde hair was styled in short curls and she wore a striking red lip. Her patterned grey-blue dress had a thigh-high split and she donned white and black pointed-toe heels.
Emma Appleton
The Witcher actor, Emma Appleton kept things simple with a floor-length, long sleeved and high neck black velvet and white spotted dress. She paired the look with a Saint Laurent clutch.
Paapa Essiedu
The I May Destroy You actor looked suave in a navy suit and cream, unbuttoned shirt. The gold necklace, ring and shoe buckles are a nice touch.
Amelia Dimoldenberg
Sometimes, it’s the simplest looks that pack the biggest punch. Which is why we love Chicken Shop Date’s Amelia Dimoldenberg’s pale green strapless gown. The thigh-high split adds a fun touch.
Rebecca Hall
Sheer is here to stay — if Rebecca Hall’s Baftas dress is anything to go by. The actor’s shirt-style dress is embroidered with a diamond pattern and Hall accessorised the look with strappy heels and a white clutch.
Ellie Bamber
The Serpent’s Ellie Bamber beauty look was one of our favourites, with her hair tied back with a chic bow. She donned a sheer black skirt, matching back heels and a backless tweed jumper.
Michael Ajao
Michael Ajao’s brown suit was one of our favourite men’s looks of the night. He accessorised it with sunglasses, a black shirt, necklace and earrings.
