The 2025 Baftas are underway, with an array of industry icons gracing the red carpet to celebrate a stellar year for film.

Leading arrivals on the red carpet this weekend was Molly-Mae Hague, who put in a surprise appearance after weeks of making headlines with her personal life.

The 25-year-old Maebe founder hit the headlines earlier this year when she split from her soon-to-be husband, Tommy Fury, with whom she shares daughter Bambi.

Hague then released the first part of her docuseries, titled Behind It All, in which she lifted the lid on the gossip surrounding her relationship.

Putting on a smile as she mingled with the stars at this year’s Baftas, the former Love Islander looked super chic in all black.

She styled a structured cropped blazer with a plunging neckline with a fitted skirt, styling her blonde locks in her signature bun.

Joining Hauge on the carpet was beloved Scottish actor David Tennant, who returns to host the ceremony for the second consecutive year.

The Doctor Who icon put a slick spin on the classic black tux by adding colourful sequin embellishments. He posed alongside wife Georgia Tennant, who looked gorgeous in lace.

Elsewhere, Jeff Goldblum was among early arrivals, putting on a romantic display with Emilie Livingston, whom he married in 2014.

The 72-year-old Wicked star was every inch the Hollywood icon in a white bow tie, injecting some of the Emerald City magic with a green patterned waistcoat.

He will later take to the stage, playing piano during the In Memoriam segment.

Other stars strutting their stuff for paparazzi included a bare-faced Pamela Anderson, with The Last Showgirl’s leading lady looking angelic in white.

Anderson, best known for her iconic role in Baywatch, attends the event as a presenter. Although she was overlooked for her performance in Gia Coppola’s drama, the 57-year-old star will take the stage to hand out one of the evening’s prestigious gongs.

Meanwhile, a dapper Adam Pearson larked around with photographers, pulling silly poses in his maroon suit.

James Norton, Sebastian Stan, Stephen Merchant, Celia Imrie, Joe Alwyn, and Jharrel Jerome also hit the carpet.

As for nominations, leading the way tonight is Demi Moore, 62, who’s been recognised in the leading actress category for her gripping performance in body horror film The Substance. Moore has already clinched awards at the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes for the role.

British talent will also be well represented, with Cynthia Erivo attending as a best leading actress nominee for her role as Elphaba in the movie musical Wicked. Joining her is co-star Ariana Grande, who has been nominated for supporting actress for her portrayal of Glinda.

Erivo, 38, who began her career in the West End, is one of two British stars in the Leading Actress category, competing alongside Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), Moore, Mikey Madison (Anora), Karla Sofia Gascon (Emilia Perez), and Saoirse Ronan (The Outrun).

Other presenters at the ceremony will include Emilia Perez stars Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, although co-star Gascon’s attendance remains uncertain due to recent controversy over resurfaced social media posts from 2019 to 2024.

The best leading actor category features notable nominees such as Ralph Fiennes, Sebastian Stan, Hugh Grant, Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo, and Timothee Chalamet. Other attendees include Kate Winslet (Lee) and Jesse Eisenberg (A Real Pain).

Musical performances will add to the evening’s allure, with British pop band Take That singing their hit song Greatest Day from the film Anora.
