Aimee Lou Wood and Mia McKenna-Bruce were among the celebrity guests as exclusive London venue The Twenty Two hosted a star-studded BAFTA after-party on Sunday evening.
Fresh from attending the annual ceremony at Royal Albert Hall, Wood enjoyed a cocktail or two after making a beeline for the Grosvenor Square venue, where streaming giant Netflix hosted a late-night celebration.
The actress, recipient of the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2023, looked stunning in a peach satin dress as she rubbed shoulders with guests including fellow actresses Bel Priestley and Mia McKenna-Bruce, with whom she will star in an eagerly anticipated four-film anthology about The Beatles.
Raising her champagne glass aloft, McKenna-Bruce, 28, was clearly ready to Twist And Shout at the bash after committing herself to a new role as Maureen Starkey, the late first wife of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
Likewise, Wood, 32 – George Harrison’s model wife Pattie Boyd in the forthcoming films – was in equally high spirits while partying with her co-star on Sunday evening.
Other guests on the night included actors Riz Ahmed and Noomi Rapace, Immy Waterhouse and Jude Law and Sadie Frost’s model daughter, Iris Law.

Elsewhere, Patrick Dempsey was supported by wife Jillian and daughter Talula following the tragic death of his Grey’s Anatomy co-star Eric Dane aged 53.
Dane’s passing was confirmed by his loved ones in a statement on Thursday – less than one year after he announced his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis.
One Battle After Another was the big winner at the 2026 British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night, as it scooped six gongs during the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
The Paul Thomas Anderson hit had already received a record 14 nominations, and came out on top as it won Best Film, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Cinematography and Editing.
While Jessie Buckley won Best Actress honour for her role in Hamnet, having been favourite to do so, the night wasn’t without surprises, as Timothee Chalamet missed out on Best Actor to a home-grown favourite.
Despite being tipped as a favourite for the honour for his role in Marty Supreme, Timothee lost out on the prize to I Swear star Robert Aramayo.
As One Battle For Another was awarded Best Film, producer Sarah Murphy said: ‘We wish more than anything that our producing partner Adam Somner could be here to accept this on behalf of us on his home turf.’
Director and producer Paul Thomas Anderson said: ‘Thank you for rewarding our film in the way that you have, its just a tremendous honour.

‘I’m well aware of the other films that share this. Anybody that says movies aren’t any good any more they can piss off because this is just a great f*****g year.’
He added that he planned to go and find a ‘bar somewhere to go celebrate.’
The biggest loser of the evening was the highly acclaimed ping pong drama Marty Supreme, which went into the evening as one of the favourites, with 11 nominations. It came away completely empty-handed.
Jessie, who is already tipped as a favourite to win the Oscar for Best Actress, used her acceptance speech to thank her fellow nominees.
She said: ‘This is really such an incredible honour. As a little girl I never thought in a million years I would be allowed to make a film but here I am.

‘When I arrived into my agent Lindy King in London, and I had nuclear bad fake tan on, white hoop earrings, a polka dot red skirt and dress, and I had the audacity to say to her that I dreamed to someday be something like Judi Dench.
‘I don’t know how on God’s green earth she even dreamed that was possible. This really does belong to the women who have taught me and continue to teach me how to do it differently.’
Thanking her fellow nominees, Jessie forgot to include Kate Hudson and asked the audience: ‘Who have I left out?’ She then added ‘I am in awe of all your incredible performances thank you.’
Meanwhile viewers, and guests in attendance, were stunned when it was announced that Robert had been awarded Best Actor for I Swear, beating out Hollywood heavyweights Timothee and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Upon learning of his son’s honour, Robert’s father jumped to his feet and was shouting and jumping up and down when his son’s name was read.
From the stage, Aramayo said: ‘I absolutely can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’m looking at people like you never mind that I’m stood here.
With 28 gongs awarded on Sunday night, the main winners were One Battle After Another with six prizes. Sinners, Frankenstein and I Swear followed with three each whilst Hamnet won two gongs.
