Bridgerton actresses Hannah Dodd and Florence Hunt turned heads at the 2025 EE British Academy Film Awards, held at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday. The pair, who play sisters Francesca and Hyacinth Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama, looked worlds away from their regal characters as they arrived in stylish cut-out gowns and posed for selfies with fans on the red carpet.
Hannah Dodd, 29, wore a figure-hugging black dress with a chain mail overlay, paired with matching earrings and a glamorous Lancôme makeup look. Florence Hunt, 18, opted for a dramatic grey pleated gown with a daring cut-out bodice and a flowing skirt, complemented by poker-straight hair and Lancôme cosmetics.
The BAFTAs, now in their second year at the Southbank Centre venue after moving from the Royal Albert Hall in 2023, celebrate the best in film across 25 competitive categories. This year introduces a new Children's & Family Film category, the first new award in five years, and an updated voting process for the Outstanding British Film category.
Thriller Conclave leads the nominations with 12 nods, followed by Emilia Perez with 11 and The Brutalist with nine. Gladiator 2 was notably snubbed for Best Film, and its star Paul Mescal failed to make the Best Actor longlist. The ceremony also sees Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo, and Saoirse Ronan competing for Leading Actress, while Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin vie for Supporting Actor.
