All the celebrity arrivals (updating live)

Hollywood’s biggest names are crossing the pond for the 2026 BAFTA Awards as movie stars gather at London’s Royal Festival Hall for one of the most influential nights of awards season. Hosted by Alan Cumming, the ceremony has long been considered a key Oscar bellwether — and this year’s show promises major star power, international glamour, and standout red carpet fashion.

All eyes will be on the leading men — including Robert Aramayo, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ethan Hawke, and Jesse Plemons — to see whether they lean into classic British tailoring or opt for something more daring. Meanwhile, leading ladies Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Chase Infiniti, Renate Reinsve, and Emma Stone are expected to deliver headline-worthy couture moments of their own.
