The annual BAFTAs are back, and this year’s awards—held at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall—honor the best performances in British film and television arts. Known colloquially as the British Oscars, the BAFTAs are often full of hints on next month’s Academy Awards frontrunners—and the beauty looks they’ll likely win in.
Best Supporting Actress winner Zoe Saldana accepted an award for her performance in Emilia Perez wearing old Hollywood waves. Then, British actress Cynthia Erivo, nominated for her leading role in Wicked, appeared in an oxblood and pearl manicure with speckled eyeshadow to match. We also spotted Naomi Ackie from Zoe Kravitz’s Blink Twice, in airbrushed blush, which further defined her sculpted bone structure.
Letitia Wright arrived in cornrows with the sides mapping out swirled shapes, while Sinners actress Wunmi Mosaku was seen in a braided updo and side bang. Sing Sing’s Coleman Domingo spoke for men’s grooming trends, growing out the clean shave he had at last week’s Critics Choice Awards, seconded by musical artist Jeremiah Asaimah.
Below, see all the best beauty looks from the 2025 BAFTAs red carpet.
