BAFTA

The biggest night in British film almost here - and with an incredible guest list for this year's ceremony, we've got high hopes for the red carpet.

Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch, Michelle Yeoh, Jodie-Turner Smith, Lashana Lynch, Julianne Moore, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Carey Mulligan will all be making an appearance this Sunday 19 February at London's Royal Festival Hall.

While the Oscars may seem like the crème de la crème on the film industry’s calendar, particularly in terms of the fashion, we'd like to make a case for the BAFTAs red carpet.

While we wait to see what this year's awards offers us in terms of spectacular gowns and glorious outfits, we can remember some of the best BAFTAs dresses of all time right now, thanks to the likes of Sienna Miller (a repeat winner, as you can see above), Julianne Moore, Dakota Johnson, Léa Seydoux, Jennifer Lawrence and more.

We have perused through the BAFTA archive to unearth some pretty great fashion throwbacks. From Sienna Miller’s backless silver green ‘mermaid dress’ in 2007 to Kate Hudson's glowing-gold look, to Michelle Williams even wearing H&M in 2012, these are our favourite BAFTA gowns of all time. Just for your enjoyment.
