The 2020 BAFTA awards took place in London on Sunday night and let's just say they did not disappoint. From Kate Middleton's recycled, glittering gold Alexander McQueen gown, to Brad Pitt joking about Prince Harry in his acceptance speech, despite not even being there on the night... classic Brad.

While everyone was busy staring at the dresses, we were busy eyeing up the beauty looks from the night. Slicked back hair was out in full force with Zoe Kravitz, Ella Balinksa, Florence Pugh, Rooney Mara and Emilia Clarke all showcasing their zero bump up-dos.

The second biggest theme? Red lips. Saoirse Ronan (who missed out on the award for best actress for her role in Little Women), made us want to dig out MAC's Lady Danger lipstick, thanks to her striking orange toned hue. Meanwhile The Crown actress Vanessa Kirby effortlessly worked the blurred lip trend with her gothic berry stain.

Here's our round up of the 17 best beauty looks from the night...

1

Zoe Kravtiz

If you're afraid of smoky eyes, make like Kate and stick to warm brown tones instead of blacks. Not only are they softer and less harsh, but they make blue/green eye colours pop.
