Vera Wang, 76, goes platinum blond for the BAFTA Awards 2026

Vera Wang went platinum blond on the BAFTA Awards 2026 red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall. She wore a white ruched floor-length jersey gown from her own label, topped with a black bolero jacket with dramatic leg-of-mutton sleeves and oversized dark sunglasses.

The exaggerated cut was perhaps a nod to the 19th-century styles that have appeared on recent red carpets. The hair change followed Saturday’s BAFTA Film Awards Nominees’ Party, where Wang arrived with her usual caramel-highlighted brunette hair. At that event she wore a black bandeau top and matching maxi skirt with a voluminous fur muff, leather opera gloves and a black brimmed statement hat by New York City milliner Esenshel, captioning an Instagram photo “A MAD-HATTER MOMENT ……..!

from MILAN to London 🖤🖤 🇮🇹🇬🇧,”. Wang had been in Milan for the Winter Olympics in the days before BAFTA weekend, attending the women’s singles final with her daughter Josephine.
