BAFTAs 2020: Fashion, red carpet and winners

Margot Robbie drew gasps with a cheeky dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as Rebel Wilson took aim at Prince Andrew during the British Academy Film Awards.

BAFTAs 2020: Prince William and Kate Middleton arrive on the red carpet

Margot Robbie has made a cheeky joke about Megxit during the BAFTAs while accepting an award on behalf of Brad Pitt.

Wearing a floor-length Chanel lace gown, Australian actor Robbie turned heads at Royal Albert Hall, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, for her roles in Bombshell and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.

Robbie ultimately missed out on the British Academy Film Awards (won by Laura Dern for her performance in Marriage Story), but found herself onstage to accept Pitt’s award for Best Supporting Actor as he was not there “due to family obligations”.

“Hey Britain, heard you just became single, welcome to the club,” Robbie read from a speech Pitt had written.

Robbie then added: “He (Pitt) says he is going to name this Harry because he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him”.

“His words not mine,” she clarified.

Australian actor Rebel Wilson also gave it to the royals during her stint on stage.

“It’s great to be here at the Royal Andrew … Royal Albert Hall,” Wilson said, as Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared to smirk as they watched on in the star-studded audience.

Wilson also referenced her role in box office flop, Cats, explaining that her black and red outfit was “from that one time I didn’t win Miss Australia. And the black is from a funeral I just went to for the feature film, Cats”.

Earlier, the BAFTAs red carpet took on a sombre tone, after two people were stabbed and a third injured in a terrorism-related attack in South London.

The BBC cancelled its plans to broadcast interviews from the red carpet on its news channel as a result.
