Emily Atack and Frankie Bridge lead glamour in daring frocks at pre-BAFTAs party

The stylish stars were out in force tonight in London at the Vanity Fair BAFTA pre-party, with Emily Atack and Frankie Bridge leading the glamour on the star-studded red carpet.

Some of the biggest stars in British TV and film got all glammed up for the annual event, which was this year held at JOIA London.

Fresh from the praise of her latest BBC documentary, which explores online sexual harassment, Emily Atack looked in high spirits as she strutted the red carpet in a stunning black gown with a feathered neckline.

Emily, 32, oozed glamour as she paired the eye-catching frock with a pair of classic black stilettos and the former Inbetweeners star upped the ante in the makeup and hair department as her blonde locks cascaded loosely down to her shoulders.

Joining Emily on the red carpet was Loose Women star Frankie Bridge, who also opted for a daring number.

Brunette beauty Frankie, 34, turned heads in a blue knitted dress with unique cut-out details on the chest and midriff.

The former Saturday's singer showcased her modelling skills on the red carpet as she beamed for the cameras before heading into the main event.

Elsewhere, former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts braved the chilly London weather in a risqué dusky pink mesh corset top which she teamed with matching trousers and heels.

Former Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts opted for a more modest ensemble as she looked the epitome of chic in a shimmering burgundy dress.

The singer-turned-actress teamed the sequin frock with some sheer tights and a pair of extra-chunky heels.

Sex Education star Emma Mackey rocked a black gown, which did wonders to accentuate her gorgeous figure.

Emma, 27, commanded the red carpet as she opened up about being shortlisted for a BAFTA Award for Rising Star.

Commenting on her nomination, Emma said: "I am so grateful to BAFTA and EE for including me in this category. Being able to tell stories and make films is already such a blessing.

"To be nominated alongside these wonderful actors and for us all to be noticed by such a respected and inspiring institution is very humbling indeed."

The 2023 BAFTAs will take place on Sunday, February 19.

For the first time, the ceremony will include a live broadcast to reveal the final four category winners after previously being recorded and then broadcast on the same day.

Currently in the running to scoop up a string of gongs is the Netflix anti-war epic All Quiet On The Western Front, which has been being long-listed in 15 categories.

The Banshees Of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, is close behind with a whopping 14 nominations.
