In pictures: Timothée Chalamet, Jessie Buckley and Leonardo DiCaprio among stars at Bafta Film Awards

Stars have descended on London for this year's Bafta Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall.

Here's a selection of the famous names who gathered for the UK film calendar's biggest night - some of the women favoured ruffled dresses, while others opted for opulent colours and various textures including velvet and sequins.

While the majority of men wore tuxedos, the only bear - Paddington - turned up in his usual duffle coat and hat (which we hope had a marmalade sandwich stashed beneath it, in case he felt peckish).

Jessie Buckley, who is up for best actress for Hamnet, and Chloé Zhao, who is nominated for best director, appeared on the red carpet together in regal blue and gold dresses.

No stranger to award ceremonies, One Battle After Another's star Leonardo DiCaprio, who is up for best actor, strolled onto the red carpet outside the venue.

Teyana Taylor, who is up for best supporting actress for One Battle After Another, is bang on trend with the colour of her silken ruffled dress, in a deep, rich brown. It will also no doubt stop her getting chilly on the red carpet.

Wunmi Mosaku, up for best supporting actress for Sinners, opted for a striking blue dress, which shimmered on the red carpet.

US actor Michael B Jordan is up for best actor for his role as twins in Sinners.

Chase Infiniti, who plays Leonardo DiCaprio's daughter in One Battle After Another, wore a sculpted, deep crimson dress which flared out beautifully at the bottom. She is up for two awards, best actress and rising star.

Paddington politely greeted photographers on his way in, dressed for the weather in his hallmark bright blue coat and red hat.

Bugonia star Emma Stone, who is up for best actress, wore a minimal, long black dress with thin halterneck straps.

Jesse Plemons, who is up for best actor for Bugonia, attended the awards with his wife, actress Kirsten Dunst, whose pale pink silk jacket had large puff-sleeved shoulders.

Hamnet author Maggie O'Farrell was dressed in red almost from head to toe, apart from her striking gold boots.

Alan Cumming was the host with the most, certainly when it came to hair embellishments and his sparkling brooch. The US Traitors host and actor was clearly delighted to show his sartorial style on the red carpet.

Audrey Nuna, one of the singers of Golden, from KPop Demon Hunters girlband Huntr/X, wore a distinctive red, white and blue ruffled outfit with a dog emblem on her skirt.

Rose Byrne, who is up for best actress for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, wore a long cream and silver dress with a ruffled hemline.

Adolescence star Erin Doherty is in Train Dreams, which is up for a cinematography award at this year's ceremony. Known for her cutting-edge red-carpet fashion choices, she wore a dark, silken folded dress with large ruffles in the skirt.

Hamnet's Noah Jupe and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, who are starring next month in Romeo and Juliet on the London stage, were on the red carpet together.
