Royal blue fringe, bold blue-green eyes and a baby on the way: Wunmi Mosaku looks for the 2026 BAFTA Awards.

Wunmi Mosaku last night she went to the BAFTAs, won Best Supporting Actress for “sinners” while she was heavily pregnant, and showed up in this royal blue Ahluwalia gown that we haven’t been able to stop thinking about since the photos dropped.

The dress is a one-shoulder dress with a special matching necklace piece in the same fabric, and that detail alone elevates the whole look into something more interesting than your standard red carpet dress. The neckline has this architectural, structured quality to it, and the bodice is made up of layered pleated panels that give the silhouette real depth. Then the skirt flows into a full-length fringe hem with a subtle front split, and every time she tucked this thing in, the fringe moved with her and that was it. The blonde is rich, consistent royal throughout and looks stunning against her skin tone.

Here’s what we love about the story behind this look. Wunmi is currently pregnant with her second child, and dressing for the season’s big red carpet takes a lot of thought and a really good stylist. Come in Shameelah Hickswho put together this entire look and emphasized how proud she was to dress her client in a fellow British-Nigerian designer. Hicks works with a clear approach when it comes to Wunmi: color is non-negotiable and comfort must be there too. “We’re looking for comfort, but we don’t want to look like we’re wearing maternity clothes,” she said. The shoes are Stuart Weitzman strappy sandals with a barely-there heel, and Wunmi noted that finding cute flats is actually really hard, which is why having a stylist who always understands is key.

Jewelry is Moussaieff, silver links and rings, nothing excessive, just enough. Dionne Smith she did her hair in a neat low braid that keeps the neckline and shoulders of the dress fully visible. Nigerian, makeup artist from London Joy Adenuga she handled the makeup and gave us this bold teal eyeshadow that matches the dress so precisely that it feels like it’s always been part of the design. Nails by Lucy Tucker nails finished the look.

Pregnant, BAFTA in hand, dressed in a British-Nigerian designer, styled to perfection. Wunmi Mosaku had a really good night and looked amazing.
