London rolled out the red carpet on Sunday night for the 72nd British Academy Film Awards.

The event, hosted by Joanna Lumley at the Royal Albert Hall, marked the last major awards show before the Oscars in Los Angeles.

And with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in attendance, the celebs pulled out all the sartorial stops for the big night.

While last year’s ceremony saw the majority of attendees opt for black ensembles in a show of solidarity with the Time’s Up movement, the red carpet at this year’s event witnessed a return to colour.

Leading this year’s best dressed was the Duchess of Cambridge, who opted for a one-shouldered etheral white gown, paired with glittery pointy courts by Jimmy Choo and a pair of pearl and diamond drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana.

Kate's floaty dress reflected a broader trend towards light, chiffon dresses on the BAFTAs red carpet this year.

The Favourite star Rachel Weisz opted for a similarly feminine gown with layered tulle bardot neckline and a silver sequin-embellished waistband.

Millie Macintosh meanwhile opted for a dreamy pastel pink gown with ruched taffeta sleeves, corset top and frothy tulle skirt.

Also thinking pink was English actress, playwright and director Zawe Ashton, who opted for a loose-fitting bright fuchsia gown with a flowing train. She accessorised the look with slingback flats from cool brand Yuul Yie and a Time’s Up ribbon tied around her wrist.
