One of the biggest shocks at the BAFTAs 2026 was that neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor Timothée Chalamet took home the Leading Actor award and it was instead won by British actor Robert Aramayo. Robert Aramayo who played Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson in the biopic flick I Swear, said: “I can’t believe this, it really blows my mind.
“John Davidson is the most remarkable person I’ve ever met and he believes there is so much more we need to learn about Tourette’s. In the words of the film, they need support and understanding.”
As well as winning the award for Leading Actor, Robert Aramayo also took home the public-voted EE Rising Star Award. The Leading Actress award was won by Jessie Buckley for Hamnet.
When it comes to the best dressed stars at the BAFTAs 2026, I thought Rose Byrne looked stylish in a buttermilk Miu Miu dress, I also thought Catherine, Princess of Wales, looked absolutely stunning in a recycled Gucci dress.
When it comes to the best-dressed couple, aside from Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William, I thought Gracie Abrams (in Chanel) and Paul Mescal (Prada) looked very stylish. Unfortunately, as expected, there were some stars who failed to deliver on the fashion front.
I am more often than not a fan of Teyana Taylor’s style, but I was not a fan of the plum-colored Burberry gown she wore with ruffled neck to the BAFTAs 2026, her make-up however was perfect. I also thought actress and fashion designer Pegah Pourmand's bright pink and sheer sparkly dress was far from stylish.
