I watched the first part of the BAFTAs red carpet stream on YouTube and then I took a nap. I’m kind of burnt out on awards season and it was Sunday afternoon! Naomie Harris was one of my favorite early looks. She looked amazing in a silver metallic Michael Kors scoop neck dress with tiny tassels spread around it. I love her hair and styling here too. Naomie just looks so effortlessly chic. One complaint is that I would like to see a little more jewelry, but I think her team was being cautious and wanted the dress to be the star.
Naomi Ackie was another early standout in a lovely green/yellow Valentino with one voluminous sleeve. I like how restrained yet unique this dress is and it looks so comfortable and flowy. That long braid adds to the Grecian look.

Rebel Wilson was in a bizarre Prabal Gurung with a half red sequin bust leading to a side sash. During her presenting gig she joked that it was made for the sustainability theme from two different dresses from the time she didn’t win as Miss Australia and from the dress she wore to the funeral for Cats. This has a kind of Queen of Hearts vibe to it, right? It’s not bad it just looks costumey. She looks really glam though. Rebel was quite good in JoJo Rabbit. She and Sam Rockwell were hilarious.
Here’s a joke she made which went over like a lead balloon with Will and Kate. To be fair most of her jokes go over like that.

Kaitlyn Dever was in a lovely baby pink shimmering Miu Miu gown with layers of ruffles. This photographs poorly and looks very fussy but on camera I noticed that it fit her like a glove and shimmered. It looks goofy from the waist down though. Kaitlyn was nominated for the EE Rising Star award, which went to Michael Ward.

The muscle definition Naomie has! Wow, new fitness goals. I love the minimalist styling with this dress. Overall, this is a great look.
+1, she looks drop dead gorgeous. One of the best looks of the evening.
The first dress just needs a diamond tennis bracelet…
What the hell is RW wearing???
I thought Rebel’s dress was fabulous and that she looked awesome. I also thought she was hilarious. Everyone in the audience did too, as you could see in the cutaways to the crowd. Maybe you didn’t get her comic timing, which is quite good. Elsewhere on the web, people are talking about how she was the highlight of the night.
I agree about the dress (didn’t see the show), but I love it
Also didn’t see the show but read the Guardian commentary – they def thought Wilson was the highlight. Different strokes etc.
Love Naomie Ackie’s look! And slight correction: her hair is in twists, a protective style, as opposed to braids.
Naomie Ackie, another stunning look in a bright color. They don’t show in the photos above, but she wore gold sandals with this, just perfection. She’s definitely one of my top three, I love her look from head to toe.
Rebel Wilson…..no.
I imagine Kaitlyn’s dress does look better in person, it doesn’t photograph well.
A bracelet, maybe? Something silver or black to complement. Otherwise, Naomie’s look is gorgeous.
Rebel’s dress is aggressively fine. Not great, not terrible. Flattering enough of a fit. The last dress just looks like plastic to me. I’m sure it was beautiful on camera, but it’s the photos that last forever, unfortunately.
I watched Rebel last night and thought she was hilarious as usual.
And she and Sam were a necessary and very good addition to Jojo Rabbit. Both nailed the tragicomical and absurd situation of their characters.
I also laughed at her dress joke, I imagined that she was convinced to wear it or somehow had little choice presented to her, so she trashed it by telling that joke.
