As is the case every year, the Baftas red carpet attracts a number of fashionable figures but for 2020, attendees have been asked to follow a very specific dress code. Sustainable fashion was the theme, which encouraged guests to either re-wear something they already own or hire an ensemble as opposed to buying something new.
The night also urged celebrities to make the most of rental fashion sites and opt for sustainable fashion brands, such as Stella McCartney and Reformation, which are renowned for using innovative eco-friendly materials.
Glamour was definitely combined with sustainability as many celebrities rocked up in some of their most stunning looks yet, such as Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and Bombshell beauty Charlize Theron. And of course, we can't forget the men, because two also made our cut.
Let's take a look at some of our favourite star-studded ensembles.
Charlize Theron

While we were not green with envy for the South African beauty's interesting choice of colour and cut at the Oscars a few weeks ago, this purple Dior gown blew everyone away! Charlize arrived on the red carpet in the strapless dress featuring a plunging neckline and A-line skirt, which was highlighted by the addition of a slim black waist belt. She also accessorised the look perfectly with a diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co.
Emilia Clarke

Emilia arrived at the Bafta's wearing an elegant black column-style dress designed by Schiaparelli that featured thin straps and sequin embellishment. The star accessorised with purple gemstone drop earrings.
Kate Middleton

Scarlett Johansson

Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin has vowed to wear the same suit to every awards show this year, thus walked the red carpet wearing a custom-made tuxedo by Stella McCartney. A classic black tuxedo is still a winner though, as he exuded charm.
Margot Robbie

Ella Balinska

Renee Zellweger

Daisy Ridley
PHOTO: AFPThe Star Wars star has certainly used her Jedi powers in the fashion department because she turned heads in all the right ways on the red carpet! The strapless emerald green dress by Oscar de la Renta featured a gorgeous sheer asymmetric shoulder design that we couldn't stop admiring.
John Boyega
