The stars were out in force for the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2026 held at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

Leading the glamour was Kate Hudson who channelled Old Hollywood in a stunning red satin Prada gown with a matching train.

As a hot favourite to win Leading Actress for her role in Hamnet, Jessie Buckley certainly caught the eye as she arrived in an electric blue Chanel gown. 

She was joined by Emma Stone, who opted for a more daring look by flashing a hint of sideboob in a cut-out black custom Louis Vuitton gown.

No stranger to catching the eye with her dramatic looks, Maura Higgins opted for a dramatic black and red satin gown with a flowing train.

This year's BAFTAs nominations were announced last month, with One Battle After Another earned the most nods with 14, including one for lead star Leonardo DiCaprio.

While Jessie was also supported by her Hamnet co-star Paul Mescal, the Normal People star had both his leading ladies at his side as he arrived on the red carpet with his girlfriend Gracie Abrams.

The couple have been in a relationship since 2024 but largely keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Gracie, 26, looked gorgeous in a black patterned Chanel dress as she looked adoringly at her partner.

Adolescence star Erin Doherty was hard to miss in a quirky dark blue satin Louis Vuitton dress with a huge skirt peplum, teamed with a Chaumet necklace.

While it was hoped his girlfriend Kylie Jenner would join him on the red carpet, Timothee Chalamet was solo as he made his arrival.

The actor, who is favourite to win Leading Actor, was joined by his girlfriend after making his way inside the venue. 

Prince William and Princess Catherine arrived at the BAFTAs just days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested.

The Prince and Princess of Wales dazzled as they appeared at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the annual film awards this afternoon.

It marks their first public engagement as a couple since Andrew's arrest over suspicions of misconduct in public office on Thursday morning.

The pair put on a cheery display as they matched outfits - with Catherine wearing a recycled Gucci gown finished off with a maroon belt - while William donned a matching blazer.

Kate previously wore the dress to the 100 Women in Finance's gala dinner in 2019 to support mental health in schools.

Alicia Vikander opted for a stunning floral embroidered gown as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Joining her was Minnie Driver, 56, who cut an elegant figure in a red strapless gown as she arrived for the annual awards. 

Red carpet hosts Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing were some of the first to arrive and pose for the cameras.

Mother-of-one Sophie, 31, looked incredible in a strapless black lace dress just three months after giving birth to their first child Ziggy.

By her side Jamie, 37, looked smart in a black suit and crisp white shirt as he put his arm around his stunning wife.  

Radio host Clara Amfo meanwhile dazzled in a gorgeous gold gown which showed off her hourglass figure. 

Marty Supreme actress Odessa A'zion, 25, was among the first to arrive at the ceremony following her nomination.

Odessa, who was snubbed at the Oscars, looked incredible in a daring black lace dress with sheer panelling, revealing her physique underneath, teamed with Swarovski jewellery.

The Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall will provide the backdrop as the very best of contemporary cinema converge for the star-studded event on Sunday evening. 

Jessie Ware, who is set to perform at the awards, arrived on the red carpet wearing an eye-catching yellow dress.

The singer, 41, opted for a glamorous coat of make-up with a pair of silver earrings.

Additionally, Clare Binns, Creative Director of Picture House Cinemas, will be presented with the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award. 

The honour recognises her role in championing diverse and fiercely independent work on big screens around the United Kingdom. 

One Battle After Another will be no doubt be hoping to win one award after another, with Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film earning a remarkable fourteen nominations at this year's ceremony. 

But it faces stiff competition, notably from supernatural horror Sinners, with thirteen nominations, and Hamnet, director Chloé Zhao's moving drama about the death of Shakespeare's only son, with eleven. 

Adapted for the screen from Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel about the Bard's family life, Hamnet has broken the record for the most nominations for a female-directed film in BAFTA history. 

Irish star Jessie Buckley has been nominated for her lead role in the film after already scoring a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award and nominations for the Academy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. 

Co-star Paul Mescal, who was was snubbed during Oscar nominations, will also be hoping for an award after earning a Supporting Actor BAFTA nod. 

Elsewhere, Marty Supreme and Timothée Chalamet will be hoping to make it three times lucky after earning eleven BAFTA nominations, including Best Film and Best Actor, following recent wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. 

Frankenstein and Sentimental Value each have eight whilst there are five nominations for I Swear and Bugonia, and three nominations for The Ballad of Wallis Island, Pillion and F1. 

Also vying for the Leading Actress BAFTA are Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You; Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue; Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another; Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value and Emma Stone for Bugonia.

Leonardo DiCaprio could earn his second ever BAFTA after scoring his seventh nomination, this year for his Leading Actor performance in the already heavily decorated movie One Battle After Another.

First time BAFTA Film nominees include Robert Aramayo, Odessa A'zion, Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Michael B. Jordan, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård, and Teyana Taylor. 

Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards and Content, said: 'We are delighted to welcome so many of this year’s remarkable nominees to London for the EE BAFTA Film Awards, a vibrant celebration of the creativity, craft and collaboration that goes into British and global cinema. 

'It’s especially exciting to have such an impressive lineup of presenters joining us on the night, representing the very best of film and the wider creative industries. 

'This year’s ceremony is set to be an unforgettable occasion for audiences at home and in the room.' 

BAFTA’s mission as a charity is to champion the creative and cultural importance of the screen arts across film, games and television. 

Through its Awards ceremonies and year-round programme of talent initiatives and learning events that include masterclasses, lectures, scholarships, bursaries and mentoring schemes in the UK and North America, BAFTA identifies and celebrates excellence, discovers, inspires and nurtures new screen talent, and enables learning and creative collaboration. 

The ceremony will be broadcast at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and on E! in North America at 8:00pm Eastern Time. 

The awards will also be available on a number of other broadcasters internationally.
