So Many BAFTA Celebs Just Wore the Trending Colour I've Snapped Up at H&M
My mum always said she thought I'd work in the film industry because—when I was young and before streaming advances meant you could watch any TV show or film at any time, no matter how long ago it aired—I would always record the BAFTAs onto a blank video and watch the awards play out over and over again. However, which actor won which award wasn't my primary interest—what I loved most was seeing what the stars wore to the ceremony. It was probably earliest sign that a career in fashion lay before me.
Fast-forward to 2024 and fresh off our coverage from Wholesale Replica Bag ceremony, I decided to take another look at the outfits that had taken to the red carpet minutes before. It was upon this second look that I realised that so many attendees had opted to wear outfits in 2024's hottest fashion colour trend: Red. Between fiery hues and rich oxblood, this was by far the most dominant colour that celebrities wore to the EE BAFTA Film Awards this year.
This has made me feel a little smug, because I've just ordered a red blazer from H&M to tap into the red colour trend, which I've seen all over the street style scene at London Fashion Week this weekend, too (it's been a busy one!). A colour that signifies strength whilst also feeling distinctly classic, it always makes an appearance during awards season, but never before has the colour red been as predominant as it is now. And if the BAFTAs are anything to go by, it's still a wise investment for the season ahead.
Scroll on to see which celebrities wore the red colour trend to the 2024 BAFTAs, and then proceed to shop my edit of the chicest pieces on the market right now.
