Baftas red carpet: Wunmi Mosaku, Paul Mescal and Teyana Taylor among stars at film awards 10 hours ago Share Save Helen Bushby Culture reporter Share Save Stars descended on London for this year's Bafta Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall, to celebrate the best of the big screen. A host of famous names gathered for the UK film calendar's most celebrated night; some of the women favoured ruffled dresses, while others opted for opulent colours and various textures including velvet and sequins.

No stranger to award ceremonies, One Battle After Another's star Leonardo DiCaprio, who was up for best actor, strolled onto the red carpet outside the venue.

Timothée Chalamet, who was up for best actor for Marty Supreme, attended the awards with his girlfriend, reality star and businesswoman Kylie Jenner.
