The 46-year-old actress was nominated Best Actress in a Leading Role for her role in “Carol”. She was dressed in Alexander McQueen gown with feather details on the skirt and accessorized with Tiffany & Co jewelry and Guiseppe Zanotti shoes.

British actress Kate Winslet was one of the big winners at the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 40-year-old shined in Antonio Berardi form fitted black gown. She won the Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Steve Jobs” and during the acceptance speech she stated: “When I was younger, when I was 14, I was told by a drama teacher that I might do OK if I was happy to settle for the fat girl parts,” Winslet said. “So what always feel in these moments is that any young woman who has ever been put down by a teacher, by a friend, by even a parents, just don’t listen to any of it, because that’s what I did – I kept on going and I overcame my fears and got over my insecurities.”

American actress Julianne Moore also walked the red carpet for the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 55-year-old looked sophisticated in custom made Armani white gown that came with dramatic black cape and completed the look with Chopard jewelry.

The star of “Fifty Shades of Grey” Dakota Johnson was also the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 26-year-old looked red hot in Christian Dior red dress with fringe details and finished off the look with Jimmy Choo shoes and Repossi jewelry. She was nominated in the category for Rising Star Award.

French actress Olga Kurylenko stepped out for the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 36-year-old “Vampire Academy” star opted for white elegance dressed in Ralph & Russo white tulle gown with silk organza collar and cuff, elaborately embellished with silver bullion, feathers, pearls, crystals and vinyl ribbons from spring 2016 Couture Collection.

Australian actress Isla Fisher and her husband Sacha Baron Cohen walked the red carpet together for the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 40-year-old actress looked sophisticated in Stella McCartney white silk floor length gown with detailing at the bust. The couple recently revealed that they were donating $1 million to Save the Children and the International Rescue Committee to fund a measles vaccination program for children in Northern Syria and support families who are suffering from the ongoing conflict.

Swedish actress Alicia Vikander was all smiles while posing to the photographers at the the 2016 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday (February 14) in London, England. The 26-year-old looked incredible in Louis Vuitton silver embellished leather gown from their Spring 2016 collection. During the ceremony she sat next to her boyfriend Michael Fassbender, but the couple refused to take part in the hilarious kiss cam segment during last night’s show and the moment was so awkward it was cut from the BBC broadcast.
