The Best Dressed Stars at the 2026 BAFTAs
Tonight, the film world gathered at London’s Royal Albert Hall for the 2026 BAFTAs, hosted by Alan Cumming. With the Oscars weeks away, the red carpet struck that sweet spot in awards season: confident, directional, and unmistakably modern.
The prevailing mood was glamour—minus the predictability of Old Hollywood revivalism. After months of vintage silhouettes and period waves, this carpet felt sharper and more current.
Emma Stone led the charge in a custom Louis Vuitton column: sleek, black, and cut close to the body with a precise chest slit that delivered restraint with edge. Erin Doherty, also in Louis Vuitton, played with proportion—her sculptural, rippling skirt defied gravity without sacrificing polish.
Drama arrived via Teyana Taylor in Burberry. Her deep burgundy gown nodded to the house’s trench heritage with a belted waist and a high, face-framing collar—regal, controlled, and unapologetically bold.
Tilda Swinton offered a master class in androgyny with a sharply tailored Chanel tuxedo. High-waisted trousers and a cropped jacket finished with a brooch proved that eveningwear’s most powerful statement can be suiting. Meanwhile, Wunmi Mosaku reimagined flapper codes in electric cobalt fringe—fluid, kinetic, and entirely contemporary.
