Ariana DeBose arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 BAFTAs on Sunday in London, wearing a sparkling gown.
In honor of this year’s awards ceremony, the actress wore a long-sleeved tan dress with a matte bodysuit base and sheer texture embroidered with pink crystals from Fendi’s fall 2022 couture collection by Kim Jones. DeBose coordinated the look with strappy clear heeled Aquazurra sandals. The actress accessorized with jewelry from Bulgari, including a rose gold and diamond Serpenti necklace and small hoop earrings.
To create her look for this year’s BAFTAs, the actress worked with the stylist team of Zadrian Smith and Sarah Edmiston. The duo also works with Phil Dunster, Hong Chau and Rita Moreno.
