The Best Celebrity BAFTA Red Carpet Outfits

last updated 18 February 2018

The latest in awards-show season, the 71st British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) is happening today. Echoing the Golden Globes’ sartorial blackout, the BAFTAs red carpet was a runway of black dresses in support of the Time's Up movement. Not only did the red carpet outfits symbolise a call for change, but Vogue reports that prior to the evening’s events, “190 British and Irish actors published an open letter of intent, announcing a new UK Justice and Equality Fund and making a stand against sexual harassment in the workplace.” Furthermore, a number of feminist activists were seen walking the red carpet alongside celebrities including Angelina Jolie.

While Kate Middleton wore a green dress on the red carpet, The Mirror reports that this is likely due to the fact that she is “encouraged not to take a political stance on any issues.” However, there is some speculation that the colour choice may be paying tribute to the suffragettes, who wore dark green to “to represent hope”.
