BAFTA 2022: the 8 most dazzling high jewellery looks on the red carpet, from Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell, to Caitriona Balfe and Sienna Miller – but what about the men?
Red carpet glamour returned at the 75th British Academy Film Awards, also known as BAFTAs, which resumed its in-person ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London after last year’s online presentation in compliance with Covid-19 social-distancing restrictions.
A-listers from Britain and across the globe celebrated the cinematic arts – and actors’ achievements – by attending this year’s glitzy ceremony in person. As one would expect, many dressed to impress with haute couture designs and opulent high jewellery pieces by some of the world’s most coveted brands.
Here is a round-up of some of the most captivating jewellery looks paraded on the BAFTA 2022 red carpet.
