Capes, opera gloves, and black reigned supreme on the 2023 EE BAFTA Film Awards red carpet. The star-studded event, and precursor to the Oscars, took place Sunday in London, attracting everyone from Prince William and Kate Middleton to Rami Malek and Jodie Turner-Smith. Unlike the Grammys, where sparkles and silver were the theme of the night, the BAFTAs attracted many more toned down, simple black looks, courtesy of nominees like Emma Thompson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and budding Elvis impersonator Austin Butler. Though there were a few showstoppers, like Anya Taylor-Joy, who wore a shimmering velvet mini-dress and matching cape from Schiaparelli, and Florence Pugh, who brought ruffles to the carpet in a bright orange Nina Ricci gown.
