BAFTAs 2023: Florence Pugh wows in an eye-catching orange frilled gown

Florence Pugh turned heads on Sunday night as she arrived on the red carpet for the 76th EE British Academy Film Awards held at the Royal Festival Hall.

The actress, 27, stood out from the crowd in an eye-catching orange frilled Harris Reed gown as she posed for a slew of stunning snaps.

Florence’s dress boasted an eye-catching orange front with a fringed detailing that flowed into a dramatic fishtail skirt, with her blonde tresses pulled into an elaborate up-do. 

The Don’t Worry Darling star, who was styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, elevated her height in a pair of chunky black heels.

She opted for a bronzed makeup palette which accentuated her natural features, with a swipe of nude lipstick.

Florence styled her blonde locks in a spiky bun, while accessorising with dainty silver earrings, a necklace and her signature nose piercing. 

The star, who recently went public with her new beau Charlie Gooch after splitting from her partner of three years Zach Braff, attended the awards with her Triangle Of Sadness co-star Dolly De Leon.

The biggest night in British film is back with actor Richard E. Grant taking the helm to present the 76th EE British Academy Film Awards.

Held at the Royal Festival Hall, Richard, 65, will join Alison Hammond to host the star-studded ceremony, while film critic Ali Plum is on the red carpet with Vick Hope.

Netflix’s anti-war drama All Quiet On The Western Front leads the nominations with a staggering 14 nods.

The film, which is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, equals Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2001) as the film which is not spoken in the English language with the most nominations in BAFTA’s history.

Directed by Edward Berger, it stars Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Daniel Brühl, Sebastian Hülk, Aaron Hilmer, Edin Hasanovic and Devid Striesow.

Nominations include Best Support Actor, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Costume Design, Editing, Make Up & Hair, Original Score, Production Design and more.

It will face battle against The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once for Best Film, with both movies up for 10 nominations a piece.

Elvis, which has nine nominations, and Tar, five nods, will also compete for Best Film.

The following British shorts were nominated: The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse; Middle Watch; Your Mountain Is Waiting; The Ballad of Olive Morris; Bazigaga; Bus Girl; A Drifting Up and An Irish Goodbye.
