The stars of Britain's glittering TV scene came out in full force on Sunday evening to celebrate the best and brightest in their industry at Bafta's annual TV Awards.

While Peaky Blinders and The Handmaid's Tale took home some of the most coveted awards at the ceremony, legions of individuals stole the show on the red carpet for their sartorial prowess.

With warmer climes fast-approaching, a number of attendees channelled a summertime aesthetic to suit the changing seasons, with dynamic florals, romantic silhouettes and vibrant Gen Z yellows all making prominent appearances.

However, not everyone conformed to the black tie dress code that typically permeates such prestigious award ceremonies, with This Country star Daisy May Cooper taking home the gong for best female comedy performance wearing a Swindon Town FC T-shirt dress.

The Gloucestershire-born actress and writer garnered a mountain of praise on social media for her subversive choice, with some even labelling it as "iconic" and worthy of an award in and of itself.

The majority of guests decided to play it a bit safer with their wardrobe choices, taking to the red carpet in an array of opulent dresses and graphic prints..

From The Crown's Vanessa Kirby, who dazzled in Dior, to former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan giving Princess Belle a run for her money in a billowing lemon gown, click through the gallery above to see our pick of the best-dressed celebrities on the night.
