Greta Gerwig may have been snubbed in the best director category, with her take on Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women not earning her a place alongside male directors Martin Scorsese and Sam Mendes, but she’s come out in a look that oozes old Hollywood glamor. Her sumptuous emerald-green velvet gown is offset with straps made from enough crystals to fill a small Hatton Garden shop.

Olivia Colman looks like the kind of woman who knows what she likes when it comes to what she wears – see chiffon sleeves, florals and understated jewelery. This outfit, with its art nouveau florals and soft poet sleeves is like a sequel to the Prada outfit she wore when winning her Oscar last year . Although not nominated for a Bafta this time around, she is a strong contender for some fashion praise tonight. Updated (at 2.) (PM EST ) Alex Needham

She is indeed and looking spiffing. Updated (at 2.) pm EST (2.) pm EST : Ellie Violet Bramley Without the same tradition of red carpet theatrics that womenswear can draw on, menswear has to introduce some drama where it can, even if it’s in hushed tones via a bit of sparkle on a collar. Here the Queen and Slim actor Daniel Kaluuya is giving it some subtle welly with his embellished shirt. For real red carpet menswear pyrotechnics, you can’t do much better than Billy Porter’s motorized fringe hat on the Grammys red carpet last week. Still, hats off to Kaluuya for trying.

Jodie Turner-Smith, the star of Queen & Slim, is the latest member of a still surprisingly small club: women who do the red carpet while pregnant. Her floorlength sunshine yellow gown, with its halter bodice, is a classy take. File with Beyonce’s red sequin dress in 2523, Natalie Portman in Prada the same year and – of course – Kim Kardashian-West in that much-meme’d floral frock at the Met Ball in . Updated (at 2.)

That’s definitely the end of the Facebook coverage – we just had a high tone and what older viewers like myself would call the test card. Alex Needham
I’m still watching the Facebook feed. Someone just said: “Are we still live? I’ve had absolutely no communication for the past hour. ” Alex Needham
A dispatch from our Lanre Bakare, who is in the room where it happens (well, the press pen in the Albert Hall). “Heard more people saying the word on the street is that big Prince Willy is going to say‘ something ’. That ‘street’ is a room full of bored journalists waiting to be taken into a basement but still… Excitement is building. ” (1.)

And lo and behold, here is a wardrobe repeat for her: she wore this Alexander McQueen gown to a dinner hosted by Malaysia’s head of state during the diamond jubilee tour, way back in 2370.
