Who were the best-dressed stars at the Bafta Awards on Sunday? It's a question that always sparks lively debate, and this year's ceremony was no exception. As expected, Hollywood's A-listers brought their fashion A-game to the star-studded event, and boy, did they deliver.
Despite a slightly smaller turnout than usual, the red carpet was still a sight to behold. There may have been fewer jaw-dropping looks than in previous years, but the ones that did make an appearance were nothing short of stunning. It's safe to say that the 2025 Baftas did not disappoint in the style department.
While the night was a big one for winning films like Conclave and The Brutalist, it was also a chance for the stars to shine on the red carpet. Demi Moore, Colman Domingo, and Ariana Grande were just a few of the celebrities who stole the show with their showstopping looks. As Metro's entertainment editor Lucy Mapstone and deputy entertainment editor Alicia Adejobi can attest, these fashion moments left them absolutely gasping in awe.
Let's start with Ariana Grande, who had a big night ahead of her as she attended the Baftas as a nominee for her role as Glinda in Wicked. And boy, did she dress the part. The pop icon-turned-Hollywood heavyweight wowed in a custom Louis Vuitton gown in powder pink and black. The peplum-style and OTT skirt were a nod to her character, Glinda, and Ariana pulled it off flawlessly.
While she may not have taken home the coveted prize, she certainly won one of the top red carpet accolades of the night. And rightfully so, as her divisive yet glamorous look was a combination of sexy and girlish with a dash of Golden Age of Hollywood thrown in. The deep V-neck gown was already a statement piece, but the huge peplum-style skirt took it to the next level, making it one of the most ostentatious looks of the 2025 awards season.
Next up is Bafta winner Zoe Saldana, who scooped the leading actress prize for her role in Emilia Perez. The 46-year-old star went full vamp in a figure-hugging black lace Saint Laurent gown that was elevated to something sublime with its ostentatious fanned lace collar. The structural wonder added several inches of volume to her top half, making her stand out on the red carpet.
Zoe, who attended the ceremony with her husband Marco Perego, is also nominated for an Oscar. We can't wait to see what she'll bring to the fashion table at the upcoming ceremony in LA.
Now, let's talk about Demi Moore, because her Bafta dress was truly one for the books. The 62-year-old actress opted for a jaw-dropping custom Alexander McQueen gown that left everyone in awe. Covered in sparkling jewels in a stained glass window style, the halter neck backless dress was certainly the most unique look of the night. And it could only be pulled off by someone like Demi, who looked like a Hollywood royalty in it.
Despite not winning the Bafta for leading actress, Demi won our hearts with this absolute gem of a dress. And we can't help but wonder if she can top this look at the upcoming Oscars. We have no doubt that she'll continue to wow us with her fashion choices.
Selena Gomez, who has been killing it in the fashion department this awards season, didn't disappoint at the Baftas either. Her chic and timeless look was a refreshing change from the princess-style gown she wore to the Golden Globes. The 29-year-old singer and actress dazzled in a custom Schiaparelli gown in silver, with a chic black bra-style cut-out at the top. The plunging neckline and black off-the-shoulder sleeves added a stunning finish to her overall look.
Unfortunately, Selena missed out on winning the supporting actress Bafta to her Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana. But she was still all smiles and even shared a warm hug with Zoe before she gave her acceptance speech.
Last but certainly not least is Cynthia Erivo, who has been serving us some of the most extravagant looks during the press tour for Wicked. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see her switch it up with a more simplistic and demure look for the Baftas. The Wicked icon pulled no punches with her embroidered Louis Vuitton gown, which featured a large lace panel rising above her neckline. It was a unique and beautiful choice that showcased Cynthia's impeccable fashion sense.
While Wicked walked away with two awards for costume design and production design, Cynthia and Ariana unfortunately missed out on scooping the golden trophies for leading and supporting actress. But they certainly won our hearts with their showstopping looks on the Bafta red carpet.
Who do you think were the best-dressed celebrities at the Bafta Awards on Sunday? It's a well-known fact that any major Hollywood event is accompanied by equally major Hollywood style, and the 2025 Baftas were no exception. While there may have been fewer jaw-dropping looks than we're used to, the ones that did make an appearance were absolutely stunning.
The night was a big one for winning films Conclave and The Brutalist, but on the red carpet, we had our own set of winners. Demi Moore, Colman Domingo, and Ariana Grande were just a few of the stars who stole the show at London's Royal Festival Hall, leaving Metro's entertainment editor Lucy Mapstone and deputy entertainment editor Alicia Adejobi in awe. But who was our favorite?
Ariana Grande was certainly the belle of the ball as the pop icon-turned-Hollywood heavyweight graced the Bafta red carpet with her presence. Donning a powder pink and black Louis Vuitton gown, the Wicked star paid homage to her character Glinda with a peplum-style and over-the-top skirt. Although she didn't take home the award for best actress in a leading role, Ariana definitely won one of the top red carpet accolades of the night.
But she wasn't the only one to turn heads. Bafta winner Zoe Saldana, who took home the leading actress prize for Emilia Perez, stunned in a figure-hugging black lace Saint Laurent dress. The ostentatious fanned lace collar elevated her look to something sublime, adding several inches of volume to her top half. And with an Oscar nomination also under her belt, we can't wait to see what Zoe will wear on the red carpet in just a few short weeks.
Demi Moore left us all speechless with her showstopping Bafta dress. The 62-year-old actress donned a custom Alexander McQueen gown covered in a stained glass window design, complete with a jaw-dropping halter neck and backless cut. And while she may not have won the award for leading actress, she won our hearts with this unique and dazzling creation.
Selena Gomez also caught our attention with her Bafta look, a glitzy silver custom Schiaparelli gown that accentuated her silhouette perfectly. The plunging neckline and black off-the-shoulder sleeves added a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the ensemble, making it one of our favorite looks of the awards season so far. And while she may have missed out on winning the supporting actress Bafta, Selena's friendship with winner Zoe Saldana was on full display as the two shared a warm hug before Zoe's acceptance speech.
And let's not forget about Cynthia Erivo, who always knows how to make a statement on the red carpet. The Wicked icon stepped out in a stunning embroidered Louis Vuitton gown with a unique lace panel rising above her neckline. It was a refreshing change from her usual extravagant choices, and we couldn't help but admire her fashion sense once again.
In the end, Wicked may have walked away with two awards for costume design and production design, but the real winners of the night were these stylish and elegant stars who graced the Bafta red carpet. Who do you think was the best-dressed of them all?
