Red carpet recap: Black glamour wins at the 2024 BAFTAs

The BAFTAs brought big wins to Black talent and big style to the red carpet.

As the 2024 awards season continues, the 77th British Academy Film Awards, better known as the BAFTAs, kept the momentum going on Sunday night as international celebrities and British royalty alike descended on the Royal Festival Hall in London. Two of this season’s standouts, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and writer-director Cord Jefferson, were among the night’s winners for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay, respectively. However, there was also plenty of winning style among the Black celebrities on the evening’s red carpet, including Naomi Campbell, Rising Star nominee Ayo Edebiri, Best Actress nominee Fantasia Barrino, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch and many more.
