BAFTAs 2018: Who stole the show on the red carpet

MARGOT Robbie looked stunning as she walked the red carpet at the British version of the Oscars, but not everyone nailed their outfit. Check out all the best and worst looks.

British film industry at a defining point in its history

PRINCE William and the Duchess of Cambridge added a touch of royalty to the BAFTAs red carpet in London.

Just like the Golden Globes, most of the attendees wore black at the BAFTAs to support the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements, although Kate Middleton was a noticeable exception in a dark olive dress.

It’s understood the Duchess probably chose not to wear black because she is not meant to take a stance on political issues.

The royals are joined stars including Angelina Jolie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie at the British version of the Oscars which were held at the Royal Albert Hall.

Proceedings got off to a rocky start when female protesters from a group called Sisters Uncut stormed the red carpet and lay down linking arms.

The stunt was designed to draw attention to British PM Theresa May’s domestic violence policies, which they say are a “dangerous distraction” that will leave survivors “locked up in prison, locked out of refuges, and locked in to violent relationships”.

Once the protest was over, the stars hit the red carpet. Here are some of the best looks.

The awards are being hosted by two-time BAFTA winner Joanna Lumley who is best known for her role as Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous.
