Stars were encouraged to re-wear old outfits at the BAFTAs — but Lily-Rose Depp stole the show in an incredible see-through catsuit.

BAFTAs 2020: The looks that stunned on the red carpet

The biggest names in the movie business have hit the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall in London ahead of the BAFTAS, the industry’s last glitzy awards show before the next week’s Oscars.

Guests at the awards show were encouraged to rewear old outfits, choose vintage clothes or to hire an outfit as part of a sustainable fashion movement, according to The Sun.

One of the standouts on the red carpet: Lily-Rose Depp, actress, model and daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. The 20-year-old looked stunning in a floor-length sheer black gown / catsuit combo:

The BAFTAS, where Aussie Margot Robbie has a double nomination in the Supporting Actress category, airs on Foxtel’s UKTV tonight at 7.30pm AEDT.

Leading the star arrivals were BAFTA President Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Duchess stunned on the red carpet in an Alexander McQueen gown that she previously wore at a state dinner in Malaysia in 2012.

Here’s Kate and Wills at the BAFTAs today:
