The Best Dressed at the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards

A laid-back and smiling trio! Seth Rogen, wearing an unstructured cream-beige suit without a tie, embodies California casual chic. Chase Sui Wonders, a rising actress and model, wears a long dress with a highly graphic ochre and beige marbled pattern. Ike Barinholtz rounds out the group in a burgundy tuxedo with a bow tie. The Studio (Apple TV), in which Seth Rogen plays a central role, won the BAFTA for Best International Series. A great victory for the entire team.

The British actor, known for playing villains and intense characters (Kingsman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), commands attention on the red carpet in a black tuxedo with a crisp white collar and no bow tie. It’s a sleek, sophisticated look that perfectly reflects his image. Mark Strong wasn’t nominated this year, but his understated yet commanding presence is a style statement in itself.

The American star of Severance (Apple TV+) stood out on the red carpet in a bold, bright red double-breasted suit, paired with a white shirt and black tie. It was a daring color choice that turned heads. Severance was nominated in the Best International Series category, alongside The Bear and The White Lotus, among others, but did not win the award.

The British actor, known for Doctor Who and The Crown, opted for a classic, elegant look: a tailored black suit, a white shirt, and a tie with a subtle pattern. His slender build and confident demeanor give him a natural presence on the red carpet. Matt Smith was nominated in the Best Actor category for The Death of Bunny Munro (Sky Atlantic), an adaptation of the novel by Nick Cave. The award went to Stephen Graham.

James Bond actor Rory Kinnear looked dapper in a black tuxedo with a bow tie. He was accompanied by Pandora Colin, who looked stunning in a black sequined mini-dress. The stage and television actress sported a decidedly festive look. Rory Kinnear, a leading figure in British drama, is best known for his roles in Penny Dreadful and Black Mirror. Neither of them was nominated this year, but their presence underscored the prestige of the ceremony.

Actor and comedian Nick Frost, who rose to fame in the Cornetto trilogy alongside Simon Pegg, made a striking impression in a black velvet tuxedo with a bow tie, sporting his signature thick-rimmed glasses. It’s a polished and distinctive look that suits him perfectly. Although he wasn’t nominated at this ceremony, his presence serves as a reminder of his status as a cult figure in British television and film.

Aimee Lou Wood, the breakout star of Sex Education and The White Lotus, wore a highly structured black asymmetrical strapless dress, alongside Jason Isaacs, who looked impeccable in a black suit. Aimee Lou Wood had two nominations: Best Actress for Film Club (BBC Three) and Best Supporting Actress for The White Lotus (Sky Atlantic). These two nominations confirm her meteoric rise, even though she left empty-handed this year.

Stephen Graham looked radiant in a simple black suit, standing alongside his wife and collaborator Hannah Walters, who looked elegant in a long, draped burgundy dress with a high neckline. The couple is inseparable, both in real life and on screen. And for good reason: Stephen Graham won the BAFTA for Best Actor for his role in Adolescence (Netflix), a highly anticipated victory. The series he co-created dominated the evening with a total of four awards. A well-deserved triumph for one of the most talented actors of his generation.

Young Owen Cooper, the breakout star of the series Adolescence, rocks a casual-chic look with a silver-gray satin bomber jacket paired with black pants and a white shirt. Despite being just a few years into his career, he already commands the red carpet with natural ease. He won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor for Adolescence, marking his first BAFTA win. A resounding triumph for this promising young talent.
