TIL Desk Hollywood/ Actresses Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lawrence outshined others as they glamourised the black dress code, followed by most at the 71st BAFTA red carpet here to support the Time’s Up movement against sexual harassment and inequality.
The red carpet on Sunday night at the annual gala organised by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) was flooded with celebrities in black gowns, as guests stood in solidarity with Hollywood’s Golden Globes ceremony in January by adopting the all-black dress code.
Many attendees also wore Time’s Up pins to show solidarity with the initiative, which was launched in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, reports. While a red carpet black-out is every stylist’s nightmare, the sartorial displays on show proved that black did not have to mean boring.
Lawrence opted for a stunning Dior dress, fresh off the runway from their Spring 2018 couture show with her hair straight and loose. She added even more glamour with a bright red lipstick. Jolie on the other hand, went for her usual thigh-slit silhouette in an off-the-shoulder black velvet gown by British couturiers Ralph and Russo.
