Britain’s Biggest Night
The BAFTAs brought together many of the defining faces of this year’s awards season. While the gowns naturally drew attention, beauty played just as important a role on the red carpet. From softly styled waves to precise liner and luminous skin, the overall mood felt polished and assured. Here are the looks that we couldn’t get enough.
A closer look at the best BAFTAs beauty moments, featuring Kate Middleton, Alia Bhatt, Jenna Coleman and more on hair and make-up that set the tone for the season.
Alia Bhatt
Making her BAFTAs debut, Alia Bhatt opted for soft glam with a thoughtful twist. Tousled waves framed her face, while a delicate wash of blush pink circled the eyes to create a subtle halo effect. The same rosy hue appeared on the cheeks, giving the look cohesion without overpowering her features.
Sadie Sink
Sadie Sink leaned into a youthful, sun warmed aesthetic. Terracotta lips complemented her copper hair, while a rosy flush across the cheeks enhanced that just back from the outdoors glow. Wispy bangs added softness around the face, keeping the overall effect fresh, youthful and sweet.
Kate Middleton
After three years away from the BAFTAs red carpet, the Princess of Wales returned with noticeably longer hair. Styled in soft, cascading curls, her glossy waves brought a sense of fairytale glamour that felt fresh and almost fairytale-like.
Gracie Abrams
For her couple debut with Paul Mescal, Gracie Abrams kept her beauty look intentionally low key. Her shorter bob was worn slightly tousled and make-up followed suit, with barely there skin and softly defined eyes. A subtle tightening along the lash line added just enough definition without disrupting the overall natural finish.
Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor may have been wrapped in an incredible Burberry number, but her beauty look still shone through. The smoky double cat-eye liner, now something of a signature, carved out her eyes with precision. Structured curls framed her face and effortlessly balanced the drama.
Wunmi Mosaku
Wunmi Mosaku embraced colour with confidence, pairing her royal blue Ahluwalia gown with matching shimmer across the lids.
Jenna Coleman
A soft wing of rose eyeshadow gave Jenna Colemman’s gaze a gentle sultry quality, echoing the sheer delicacy of her Armani Privé gown. Blush and lips followed the same tonal family, creating a seamless sweep of colour that tied everything together.
Cat Burns
Cat Burns made a compelling case for turning up the blush. Applied generously and with clear intent, the saturated flush became the focal point of her entire look. Everything else was kept minimal, allowing the colour to bring warmth and personality to her look.
Emma Stone
In keeping with her Louis Vuitton ensemble, Emma Stone’s beauty look reflected the house’s refined sensibility. Make-up artist Nina Park revealed she used the house’s new LV Baume in Nude Poetry on her lips to lend a soft, hydrated sheen on Emma.
Rose Byrne
A slicked back bun set the tone for Rose Byrne’s appearance, neatly offsetting the romance of her Miu Miu gown. While the silhouette nodded to classic screen heroines, her complexion felt thoroughly modern.
