BAFTA 2022: Lady Gaga leads red carpet arrivals as glitz returns to live awards

Lady Gaga led the way with the fashion on the red carpet of the BAFTA Film Awards earlier, ahead of the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London this evening.

The singer and actress arrived in a jaw-dropping velvet gown, which showcased her figure - accompanying the look with a silver necklace, adorned with green gemstones.

The performer - nominated in the Best Actress category for House of Gucci - brought some old Hollywood glamour with the outfit, with her blonde locks in a wavy hairstyle.

Rebel Wilson - who's hosting tonight - opted for an elegant layered number this evening, with its blue centre sparkling as she walked the red carpet of the event.

The Bridesmaids actor - who has previously hosted the event - was seen with a modest black ribbon on the front of her gown, which likely drew attention.

West Side Story star Ariana DeBose brought some colour to the celebrity arrivals in a yellow gown, that featured a red heart embelishment. She's nominated twice this evening.

She's nominated for the EE Rising Star and Supporting Actress - after playing Anita in the film. "I didn't know you could be nominated twice for anything here," she said.

Love Island host Laura Whitmore selected a yellow dress, adding a pop of extra colour to the look with prominent red lipstick. The presenter was among the arrivals earlier.

Tom Hiddleston and partner Zawe Ashton arrived together, with the former wearing a classic black tux for the event. Zawe was radiant in an unforgettable pink gown.

It has been reported that the attendees this evening were advised to "dress down" for the event at the Royal Albert Hall amid the conflict in Ukraine at the moment.

Celebrities are said to have been encouraged to "dress respectably" over concerns that attention-grabbing outfits could come across as distasteful in light of the situation.
