David Tennant led first arrivals to the EE Bafta film awards in a non-traditional take on menswear.

Taking on hosting duties for the event at the Royal Festival Hall in London, Tennant opted against a predictable black tuxedo.

Instead, he walked the red carpet in a green and gold suit which appeared to feature an intricate horoscope-inspired pattern.

Other first arrivals included Emily In Paris star Lily Collins, wearing a dramatic black column gown with floral detailing around the neckline, 80s-inspired puff sleeves and a gothic berry-coloured lip.

Irish model and presenter Vogue Williams leaned into the trend for disco-inspired dressing in her outfit, wearing a lilac sparkling dress from London-based brand Self-Portrait with a high neck and feather accented cuffs.

The Woman King star Sheila Atim – who was nominated for the EE Rising Star Award at last year’s event – continued the growing trend for sequins on the runway. Her elegant silver dress had a drop waist, boat neckline and dramatic skirt.
