BAFTA 2023 Best Dressed: From Florence Pugh’s stunning gown to Michelle Yeoh’s stylish pantsuit, celebs brought glitz and glamour to the red carpet

FLORENCE PUGH

The actress Florence Pugh attended the BAFTAs on Sunday, February 19, at the Southbank Center in London wearing a vivid orange gown designed by the French fashion label Nina Ricci. The sculpture had no straps and a strapless mermaid skirt with ribbed fabric frills that formed a frothy frame behind her at her feet. The neckline of the dress opened like a flower around Pugh's upper torso and matched the hem. Her experimental updo resembled a crimped halo of blonde hair around her head and duplicated the design of the garment' ornamentation. She accessorised with a little gold hoop pair of earrings, a white manicure, and a diamond necklace. In addition, Pugh was sporting her distinctive gold septum piercing hoop. She looked to be wearing big black platform heels underneath her outfit.

She took off the cloak to reveal the dress' cut and the delicate gold straps on her Aquazzura shoes. She also wore a gold statement necklace with broad, organically curving motifs.

SOPHIE TURNER

Turner wore a long, black Louis Vuitton dress when she arrived at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday for the event. Sheer black and gunmetal floral lace were used to make her long-sleeved dress, which had long sleeves and a floor-length train. The shining piece sparkled from its multicoloured decorations, which included teardrop, floral, and gold-encircled stones and crystals in shades of pink, blue, red, purple, and green. It was placed over a black bra and high-waisted briefs for a stylish statement. Turner made a statement with her outfit from top to bottom, capturing the light with its sparkling textures and materials in a moment of opulent glitz. A set of brilliant statement post earrings set in diamond and ruby, as well as stacked cocktail rings set in diamond and ruby, emphasised the elegance even more.
