David Tennant, Jessie J and Emma Willis bring sharp sartorial tailoring to the Bafta TV Awards

Celebrities have showcased sharp masculine tailoring and old-school glamour on the red carpet of the Bafta Television Awards in central London.

As the prestigious event kicks off at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, actors and reality stars made their way down the carpet ahead of the award ceremony.

Despite the heatwave, stars sported dramatic and dark ensembles ranging from red wine to navy and monochrome. The leading trends included masculine tailoring, drop waists and old-Hollywood styling.

Tennant channelled the seventies in a matching silk shirt and quaffed hair cut. He is nominated for his role in Rivals, Disney’s adaptation of the Jilly Cooper novel.

The 37-year-old singer leant into the masculine tailoring trend of the season which has boomed in popularity following this year’s Met Gala trend ‘Tailored for You’.

Her husband, Matt Willis, sported the men’s favourite colour of the night: navy, in a double-breasted suit with a polka dot cravat.

The 41 year-old Irish presenter was joined by her friend and podcast co-ghost Vicky Pattison, 37, who sported the colour of the season in a butter yellow silk off-the-shoulder gown and bouncy Hollywood curls.

The 35 year-old actor gave a nod to her on-screen eighties persona, Sarah Stratton, in Disney’s Rivals.

The star, who is nominated for best leading actress for her role in Netflix’s Scoop, paired the dress with sheer tights and patent platform heels. But in 25 degrees – the tights perhaps felt redundant.
