The buzz around the BAFTAs isn’t just about the awards—it’s also about the star-studded celebrations leading up to the big night.

On Tuesday, some of Britain’s finest actors gathered for an exclusive pre-BAFTA event, the Dunhill & BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner, in honor of the BAFTA Elevate initiative.

Leading the charge was none other than Pierce Brosnan, proving that his sense of style is as sharp as ever, even 30 years after first donning a tuxedo for his James Bond debut.

The 71-year-old actor effortlessly balanced classic sophistication with a modern edge, pairing his tux with tinted glasses and a stylish blue bow tie.

Brosnan looked every bit the Hollywood legend as he struck a pose for the cameras at The Club at Bourdon House.

Aidan Turner and Jessica Brown Findlay Bring Their Fashion A-Game

It wasn’t just Brosnan making waves with his fashion choices.

Poldark star Aidan Turner embraced bold styling, stepping out in tartan trousers paired with a rich red velvet jacket, giving his look a perfect mix of classic and daring.

Meanwhile, Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay stole the spotlight in an elegant pale pink strapless gown.

She elevated the glam factor with a striking red headband featuring a delicate netted veil, complementing her bold red coat.

Findlay wasn’t the only one turning heads—she was seen posing with Ellie Bamber, who opted for a sleek and modern take on eveningwear, going shirtless under a tailored black suit.

The event was nothing short of a fashion spectacle, with stars bringing their A-game to celebrate British film talent.

Honoring the Next Generation of Documentary Filmmakers

While the night was full of glitz and glamour, the event had a deeper purpose: celebrating the 20 filmmakers chosen for BAFTA Elevate.

This prestigious program is designed to support talented professionals from underrepresented backgrounds, offering them two years of career development and mentorship.

A panel of industry experts, led by Hilary Rosen, Chair of BAFTA’s Television Committee and Director of Commissioning at UKTV, selected the 20 participants.

These individuals, representing diverse backgrounds—including those from minority ethnic communities, those with disabilities, and those from low socio-economic backgrounds—will receive invaluable guidance to accelerate their careers in the industry.

BAFTA 2025: What to Expect on the Big Night

As anticipation builds for the EE BAFTA Film Awards, set to take place in London on Sunday night, film enthusiasts are gearing up to celebrate the year’s biggest cinematic achievements.

This year’s BAFTAs come with some exciting updates, including the introduction of a Children’s & Family Film category—marking the first new EE BAFTA Film Award in five years.

Additionally, changes have been made to the voting process for the Outstanding British Film category, ensuring a more inclusive and representative selection process.

Record-Breaking Nominations and Fierce Competition

Among the films leading the charge in nominations this year is Conclave, setting a record with 12 nominations across multiple categories.

Meanwhile, Emilia Perez follows closely behind with 11 nominations, and The Brutalist has secured nine nods.

With the awards night just around the corner, all eyes are on London to see which films and stars will take home the coveted trophies.

One thing’s for sure—whether on the red carpet or on stage, this year’s BAFTA Awards promise to be a night to remember.
