Sunday’s jam-packed awards-show schedule kicked off with the 2022 EE British Academy Film Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall. With the Critics Choice Awards — rescheduled from a January date due to the COVID-19 pandemic — taking place later the same evening in Los Angeles, the question quickly became which nominated stars would choose to attend which event.

BAFTA organizers needn’t have worried, with high-wattage stars ranging from Lady Gaga, nominated for lead actress for House of Gucci, to West Side Story‘s Ariana DeBose and Rachel Zegler, and The Power of the Dog‘s Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee all opting for London over L.A. Glamour also was much in evidence, seen in structured gowns in satin, velvet or gold lurex, each evoking thoughts of golden-era Hollywood style, as well as the brilliant yellows and pinks that continue to dominate red-carpet trends.

Here’s a look at a dozen of the night’s most dazzling looks:

Lady Gaga in Ralph Lauren

Nominated for leading actress in House of Gucci, Lady Gaga wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown in emerald green velvet and silk taffeta that the label noted required more than 50 meters of fabric and more than 150 hours of handcraft. Jewels by Tiffany & Co., including an emerald and diamond necklace from the house’s archives, completed the look.

Daisy Ridley in Vivienne Westwood

As a BAFTAs presenter, Ridley noted on the red carpet that her Vivienne Westwood satin and tulle gown was the result of combining elements of two previous dresses.

Rachel Zegler in Vivienne Westwood

The West Side Story star paired an off-the-shoulder satin gown by Vivienne Westwood with platinum jewels embellished with diamonds and tsavorites by Tiffany & Co.

Lashana Lynch in Prada

The No Time to Die star, named the EE Rising Star at Sunday’s BAFTAs, wore a black silk dress with asymmetrical neckline by Prada with Tiffany & Co. jewels and an Omega Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer watch.

Ariana DeBose in Oscar de la Renta

The supporting actress winner for West Side Story, DeBose wore a draped gown in bright yellow silk chiffon with a red beaded gardenia at the waist by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia for Oscar de la Renta.

The Normal People actress wore a custom Gucci gown of ice-blue crystal fringe with Tiffany & Co. jewels.
