Emma Stone

Sadie Sink
Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink brought understated charm to the BAFTA red carpet. She stepped out in a sage green strapless gown from Prada, featuring a structured neckline that added definition to the soft silhouette. The look was all about quiet sophistication minimal, graceful, and effortlessly elegant.
Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor delivered one of the boldest fashion moments of the evening. Reworking the classic trench silhouette, the singer-actress wore a silk duchesse corseted trench dress by Burberry in a deep plum shade. Complete with coordinating gloves, the dramatic ensemble blended structure with high-fashion flair, a striking reinvention of a timeless staple.

BAFTA 2026 Fashion: Worst-Dressed Celebs
While some stars earned instant “best dressed” tags for their impeccable styling on the BAFTAs red carpet, others left fashion critics divided with experimental choices that missed the mark.
Audrey Nuna
Audrey Nuna, known for K-Pop Demon Hunters, certainly made a bold entrance but not everyone was convinced. Her oversized skirt featuring a prominent dog print quickly became one of the most talked-about looks of the night. Paired with dramatic black lipstick, this particular combination felt overwhelming and slightly chaotic on the BAFTA red carpet.
Erin Doherty
Erin Doherty, known for Adolescence, unfortunately didn’t quite hit the fashion mark this year. Her navy gown, though elegant in theory, lacked the standout detailing expected on a night as grand as the BAFTAs. The overall look felt underwhelming for the red carpet, landing her among the evening’s more disappointing style moments

Odessa A’Zion
via XOdessa A’Zion, the breakout star of Marty Supreme and I Love L.A., opted for a daring red carpet moment at the BAFTAs. She wore an off-the-shoulder bodice paired with a semi-sheer lace skirt – a look that leaned heavily into drama. While the silhouette aimed for high-impact glamour, the overall styling felt slightly over-the-top for the evening’s elegant tone
Maya Rudolph
Maya Rudolph wore a black-and-white gown that started off well but lost its impact. The skirt featured an asymmetrical sash of white flowers that flowed over the hips.
Jessie Ware
Jessie Ware certainly made sure all eyes were on her at the BAFTAs. She stepped out in a floor-length, long-sleeve gown crafted from eye-catching fabric. With its vibrant colour and striking pattern, the outfit was impossible to ignore
