Hollywood’s A-List Shines on the 2025 BAFTA Red Carpet
February 16, 2025
The 2025 BAFTA Awards transformed London’s iconic red carpet into a cinematic runway, where the industry's finest brought runway dreams to life with dramatic fashion statements.
Timothée Chalamet, celebrated for his transformative role in the Bob Dylan biopic, reminded us why he remains fashion’s favorite leading man in Bottega Veneta. He wore a sleek double-breasted suit paired with the house’s signature Dalton boots.
The evening’s most powerful moment came courtesy of Zoe Saldana, Best Supporting Actress winner for Emilia Perez, in Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. The lace gown, paired with Vaccarello’s signature La Scandale platforms, balanced sensuality with sophistication—a fitting choice for her triumphant win.
Demi Moore, a perennial icon, became the center of attention in a dramatic custom McQueen halterneck dress with sequin embroidery. The dazzling display of hammered bullion, crystal, and sequins reminded us why the British fashion house remains unmatched in delivering awe-inspiring fashion theater.
Fresh off her Critics’ Choice win, Vanessa Kirby continued her style streak in a double satin faille dress from CELINE by Hedi Slimane. The gown’s bold balloon sleeves marked a surprising departure from Slimane’s usual rock-inspired aesthetic, revealing a softer, more refined side of the designer’s versatile genius.
Mikey Madison, nominee for Leading Actress for Anora, arrived in PRADA. Her ivory silk crepe bustier gown, featuring ingeniously draped crystal-embellished scarf detailing, turned minimalism into a statement. Miuccia Prada continues to redefine eveningwear, creating pieces that feel both timeless and modern.
Her Anora co-star Mark Eydelshteyn, nominee for Best Supporting Actor, chose McQueen for his red carpet moment. His single-breasted black wool barathea jacket with crystal constellation embroidery, paired with the house's signature harness shirt and Twin Skull rings, offered a celestial take on classic black-tie dressing.
Letitia Wright also made a bold statement in PRADA, choosing an amaranth cape gown with noir duchesse sequins and jais beneath, weaving unexpected details into iconic silhouettes.
Thomasin McKenzie championed British talent in Emilia Wickstead's Noemie dress from Pre-Fall 2025, while Fernanda Torres brought Parisian chic to life in a striking black Dior creation, cinched at the waist with a leather belt for a refined edge. Mimi Keene stepped out in an intricately detailed beige and blue lace gown from Dior's cruise collection, expertly balancing tradition with modernity.
As London’s celebration of cinematic excellence drew to a close, the red carpet revealed something beyond beautiful clothing—it mapped fashion’s evolving language. From Chalamet’s reinvention of traditional menswear to Saldana’s triumphant moment in Saint Laurent, the 2025 BAFTA Awards demonstrated how red carpet style is increasingly becoming its own form of artistic dialogue.
