Last Sunday night, cinema experts, movie stars, supermodels, and celebrities flocked towards the Royal Festival Hall to attend the British Academy Film Awards (otherwise known as the BAFTAs). The event was attended by the world’s most recognized celebrities, including Prince William and Princess Kate, who looked stunning on the red carpet.
