It was an awards ceremony like never before, with a host (Richard Ayoade) but no audience, and winners who accepted their gongs via video call. Still, the BAFTAs served plenty of stylish moments, whether the presenters were walking the (socially distanced) red carpet or the nominees were posting their outfits on Instagram (#backyardbaftas). From Jodie Comer’s patchwork-print dress to Gbemisola Ikumelo’s sheer-sleeved black ball gown, here are the fashion highlights.

Jodie Comer
According to Instagram, Jodie Comer almost had to wear pyjamas. Thank goodness this heatwave-ready dress (from Duro Olowu) arrived at the last minute. She just added some accessories - Loewe shades and Completedworks earrings - before cracking open the champagne.
Nina Toussaint-White
Nina Toussaint-White looked entirely weather-appropriate (not to mention stunning) in snow white Huishan Zhang, accessorising with Phine jewellery and Stuart Weitzman shoes.
Gbemisola Ikumelo
She stole the 'show' - with a voluminous gown that said 'drama' - but Gbemisola Ikumelo missed the red carpet. The Famalam star posted: 'Just me "indoors" chilling in my BAFTA ballgown! Who needs a red carpet?? (Me. I do. I need a red carpet.)'
Daisy Edgar-Jones
We've all been watching her lockdown wardrobe so, naturally, Daisy Edgar-Jones pulled it out of the bag for last night's BAFTAs. Wearing diamante-embellished Miu Miu, the Normal People star joked that it was nice to not be wearing slippers.
Helen Behan
The Elizabeth Is Missing actor wore an emerald-green gown (and a wink) for her official portrait with Rankin.
Suranne Jones
Nominated for leading actress in Gentleman Jack, Suranne Jones chose a butter-wouldn't-melt dress from London-based O Pioneers (custom made from Liberty fabric) for the beige carpet.
Aisling Bea
Scooping the breakout talent award, Aisling Bea looked smashing in a polka dot gown.
Jessica Hynes
Actor, director and writer Jessica Hynes channeled classic red carpet glamour in a LBD (that's long black dress).
Stacey Dooley
Stacey wore a strapless velvet frock (with an impressive fishtail hem) that, according to Instagram, was sourced months ago.
