The Baftas 2022: Best Dressed

Singer and actor Lady Gaga is known for her bold sartorial choices – and this year’s Baftas were no exception, as she took to the red carpet in a divine velvet gown by Ralph Lauren, dramatic platform shoes and lustrous diamond-and-emerald jewelry. This is a suitably glamorous look for the style maverick, who was nominated in the Leading Actress category for her performance in House of Gucci.

Ashley sat front-row at the Valentino FW22 show earlier this month during Paris Fashion Week, and this hot-pink diaphanous ensemble must have caught her eye. All 81 looks in the collection were either bold fuchsia or jet black – and the Bridgerton actor’s decision to opt for this vibrant shade ensured she was one of the best-dressed on the red carpet.

Taking her cue from the Gucci PF22 shows, Sienna Miller adds seductive sophistication to her ivory Gucci dress with an elegant pair of elbow-length gloves – swapping the PVC style that was modeled on the runway for lace instead. Working with her long-time stylist, Kate Young, to create this sultry look, Miller finished it off with stunning Boucheron jewelry and a slick of red lipstick.

Legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell gives understated elegance a gothic edge in this chic black Burberry gown with extravagant sleeves. Completing her look with striking earrings and a matching bracelet, this is a masterclass in refined red-carpet style.

Daisy Edgar-Jones dazzles in this iridescent sky-blue gown by Gucci. Letting the dress take center stage, she keeps the rest of her look pared back with an elegant diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings.

Sometimes the simplest look can be the most striking, as British model Adwoa Aboah proves in this effortlessly elegant strapless gown by Saint Laurent. Statement earrings and a bold red lip add just enough impact to this timeless ensemble.

British actor Florence Pugh embraces the return of the mini in this dramatic LBD by Carolina Herrera, with a playful, oversized pink tulle bow and train. A septum ring and Boucheron choker necklace add a punkish vibe to Pugh’s look.

Winner of the EE Rising Star Award, No Time to Die actor and PORTER cover star Lashana Lynch opted for an elegantly minimalist dress by Prada – the off-the-shoulder, trailing-bow detail lends just enough drama to this demure dress.

Actor Daisy Ridley was championing sustainability on the Bafta red carpet this year, saying of her voluminous Vivienne Westwood gown: “I’ve not gone low-key, but I have gone reused – two former pieces used as one outfit.” Ridley offset her dramatic look with a chic black manicure and winged eyeliner.

Actor Lucy Boynton brings a touch of old-school Hollywood glamour to proceedings with her glossy waved bob, chic drop earrings and classic red lipstick. Boynton also proves that a pared-back color palette can make a dramatic impact, in this scintillating floral and lace gown from the Chanel Spring 2022 Couture collection.

Salma Hayek made an elegant entrance in this sumptuous velvet Gucci gown. In a rich violet hue, with a dramatic split and lace details, the House of Gucci star needed little in the way of accessories – stunning Boucheron jewlery, a pair of platform heels and a sleek up-do were the perfect finishing touches to her timeless look.

Irish actor and singer Jessie Buckley was up for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, an adaptation of the Elena Ferrante novel. Opting for an Alexander McQueen corset and tailored pants, Buckley puts a cool, directional spin on classic suiting.
