With the BAFTA Awards just around the corner, Hollywood and British acting elites gathered for a glamorous night at the Dunhill & BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner.
The event, held at The Club at Bourdon House, celebrated BAFTA Elevate—a program designed to support emerging talent in the film industry.
Among the A-list attendees were James Bond legend Pierce Brosnan, Poldark heartthrob Aidan Turner, and Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay, all turning heads with their impeccable style.
Pierce Brosnan Brings a Fresh Twist to Classic Elegance
Pierce Brosnan, who first suited up as 007 three decades ago, proved he’s still got that signature charm and style.
The 71-year-old actor embraced a modern twist on his classic tuxedo look, pairing it with trendy tinted glasses and a striking blue bow tie.
As he posed confidently for the cameras, it was clear that Brosnan’s timeless appeal remains as strong as ever.
Aidan Turner and Jessica Brown Findlay Make Bold Fashion Statements
Not to be outdone, Poldark star Aidan Turner showcased his own unique sense of style.
He rocked a red velvet jacket with tartan trousers, making a bold fashion statement that stood out in the crowd.
Meanwhile, Downton Abbey favorite Jessica Brown Findlay stunned in a pale pink strapless gown.
She paired the elegant satin dress with a matching red headband adorned with a netted veil and completed the look with a bold red coat.
The actress later posed with Ellie Bamber, who turned heads in a chic black suit worn without a shirt, adding a modern edge to the evening’s fashion lineup.
Celebrating Emerging Talent with BAFTA Elevate
While the night was filled with glamour, the heart of the event was all about recognizing rising stars in the film industry.
The gathering served as a platform to announce the 20 talented individuals selected for BAFTA Elevate, a prestigious development program aimed at supporting documentary and specialist factual filmmakers.
Led by industry veteran Hilary Rosen, the jury carefully selected emerging producers, directors, and producer-directors who come from minority ethnic backgrounds, have disabilities, or are from low socio-economic backgrounds.
These individuals will receive two years of mentorship and career-boosting opportunities to help them break into the industry.
The Excitement Builds for the EE BAFTA 2025 Awards
The countdown is officially on for the EE BAFTA 2025 Awards, set to take place this Sunday in London.
After years at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, the awards ceremony found a new home in 2023 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, where it will once again be held.
This year’s ceremony will introduce some exciting updates, including a brand-new Children’s & Family Film category—marking the first new category in five years.
Additionally, changes have been made to the voting process for the Outstanding British Film award, ensuring a fresh and dynamic approach to recognizing the best in British cinema.
Record-Breaking Nominations in a Competitive Year
With the awards fast approaching, anticipation is building for the films that have dominated the nominations.
The thriller Conclave leads the pack with a record-breaking 12 nominations across various categories, while Emilia Perez follows closely with 11.
The Brutalist also had a strong showing, securing nine nominations.
As the industry gears up for one of the most highly anticipated nights in British film, all eyes will be on the red carpet to see who takes home the top honors.
The BAFTA weekend has officially kicked off in style, and if the Dunhill & BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner is anything to go by, we’re in for a spectacular celebration of cinematic excellence!
