12 Unforgettable Looks at the BAFTAs

A confluence of events in London put the city at the center of the style map: as designers held shows for London Fashion Week, movie stars made their way down the red carpet at the 79th British Academy Film Awards at Royal Festival Hall. The BAFTAs offered expected black tie and ball gowns alongside local flourishes, from men in Scottish highland dress to a blue duffle coat worn by a certain bear.

Highlights included the purple Louis Vuitton skirt that seemed to float above the ankles of the “One Battle After Another” actress and Tilda Swinton’s men’s-wear–inspired Chanel ensemble finished with black shoes with white stripes down the middle. The Princess and Prince of Wales arrived hand-in-hand in coordinated looks: her blush-pink gown with a burgundy velvet waistband matched the color of his suit jacket.

Other memorable choices ranged from Chloe Zhao’s metallic Gabriela Hearst gown with a frilly skirt to Paul Mescal’s casually unbuttoned band-collar and rolled-up sleeves in a Prada suit.
