Between lamé, silk, taffeta and tulle, velvet reigned supreme in BAFTA Awards 2022. Salma Hayek embodied Morticia Addams with a striking velvet dress purple from Gucci, with black lace cuffs and an elegant lace detail at the neckline. Belfast star Caitriona Balfe, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, also opted for the velvet, walking the carpet in a vamp-style court dress with exaggerated shoulders. For her part, Millie Bobby Brown, 18, provided the Gen-Z touch with her goth look from Louis Vuitton, which she teamed with a dagger necklace.
Old Hollywood glamor came courtesy of Lady Gaga, who arrived with a velvet and taffeta dress Ralph Lauren that took more than 150 hours to make. Supermodel Naomi Campbell looked fabulous in a Burberry gown, while Daisy Ridley dazzled in a Vivienne Westwood Haute Couture gown with a structured velvet bodice and voluminous tulle skirt, handcrafted in the London atelier from parts Westwood Archive.
