Award season is an exciting time of year. It is a busy period for stylists who work tirelessly to create the best red-carpet looks, including dresses, jewellery, and accessories for their clients. The 78th BAFTAs, held on Sunday, February 16th, showcased the finest creative minds and talent in film, who brought their fashion A-game to the red carpet. A constellation of stars dazzled against the iconic backdrop of The Royal Albert Hall, setting the stage for a night filled with deserving winners: Mikey Madison won Best Actress for Anora, Adrien Brody took home Best Actor for The Brutalist, Zoe Saldana was awarded Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Perez, Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain, and David Jonsson was named Best Rising Star amongst other leading talent.

Future Fashion Trends

An award ceremony is incomplete without a vibrant after-party, and the style continued to shine in London’s elite clubs, including Tramp and The Twenty-Two. Here, stars delved into industry discussions while confidently forecasting future fashion trends through outfit choices, such as the ‘no trousers’ trend and velvet blazer with an asymmetrical neckline, which the high street will undoubtedly shape into fashion hits or faux pas. From the trends identified on the red carpet, here are 10 looks poised to dominate the fashion scene soon.
