9 of the best hair and make-up looks from last night’s Baftas

Written by Lucy Partington

Freelance beauty editor Lucy Partington is obsessed with all things skincare, collecting eyeshadow palettes that she’ll probably never use, and is constantly on the hunt for the ultimate glowy foundation.

Awards season is in full swing, and the hair and make-up on the red carpet just keeps getting better and better. 

After the success of the bold beauty looks we saw at the Brit Awards a couple of weeks ago, it’s safe to say we had high hopes for last night’s Baftas. 

Held at London’s Royal Festival Hall for the first time in three years, the evening was hosted by the one and only Alison Hammond alongside Richard E Grant – and it turned out they were the dream hosting duo that we never knew we needed.

That aside, however, it was the hair and make-up that caught our eye. There really was a whole host of incredible looks – some bold and beautiful, others more classic. All equally breathtaking.

From Florence Pugh’s entire get-up (that orange dress? Obsessed) to Emma Raducanu’s cherry red lip and Jodie Turner-Smith’s ultraviolet eyes, here’s a round-up of our favourite looks from the night. 

• Florence Pugh

  The micro-fringe? The orange dress? The classic make-up paired with an Audrey Hepburn-inspired brow? There’s literally nothing we don’t love about this look.

• Jodie Turner-Smith

  We love Jodie Turner-Smith’s matching purple dress and eyeshadow (which is Charlotte Tilbury’s Hypnotising Pop Shot in Ultra Violet, £25) almost as much as the diamanté freckles and the exaggerated winged liner.

• Cate Blanchett

  Forever the most chic, Cate Blanchett’s relaxed up-do works perfectly to draw attention to the beautiful pinky shimmer shadow on her lids.

• Naomi Ackie

  You can’t go wrong with a deep side-parting paired with a low ponytail, as demonstrated by Naomi Ackie. We love the classic smoky eye she’s opted for, too. 

• Cynthia Erivo

  Cynthia Erivo is the moment and we can’t stop staring at her grungy-yet-glamorous metallic smoky eye – and you’d be right for thinking that we’ll be copying her by adding a pop of the same shade under our lower lash line the next time we attempt a similar look. 

• Michelle Yeoh

  Michelle Yeoh’s letting the diamonds do the talking here, and we love her sleek hair and the monochromatic lips and cheeks – the ideal look for her blush pink suit.

• Danielle Deadwyler

  Make-up artist Neil Young did a sterling job with Danielle Deadwyler’s look – the smudgy black kohl liner that rings her eyes with the almost-iridescent colour that extends up past the crease – it’s a vibe. 

• Lashana Lynch

  Was Lashana Lynch inspired by Jodie Turner-Smith or do you think it was vice versa? Whichever it was, we’re here for the diamanté accents around the eyes and the deep plum lip, which was created using Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Matte Lipstick in 508 Madammoiselle-Isabella, £31.

• Aimee Lou Wood

  Another one opting for purple eyes is Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood and we love that make-up artist Sara Hill let them do all the talking in this look. Her flawless complexion was achieved using Chantecaille’s Tinted Moisturiser, £77 and Radiance Gel Bronzer, £40.
