BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Ceremony host Rebel Wilson dazzles in tiered mesh Giambattista Valli gown with sequin detail as she graces red carpet
Rebel Wilson dazzled as she graced the red carpet at this year’s BAFTA Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday.
The actress, 42, who is hosting this year’s ceremony, showed off her glamorous sense of style in a tiered black mesh Giambattista Valli SS19 Couture dress with blue sequin detail.
Australian star Rebel showed off her slimline figure after her weight loss in recent months as the dress was cinched in at the waist by a black ribbon.

Her naked arms and shoulders were left exposed to the air as she arrived at the star-studded bash.
She wore lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty facial features and accessorised with a pair of sparkling Bulgari Fiorever earrings in white gold with two pear diamonds, and 14 round brilliant diamonds as well as pavè-set diamonds.
She carried a £1,760 Bulgari Cocktail hard clutch in black Papier nappa leather.

Rebel recently admitted to her nerves and that she worries about being cancelled for her jokes during the Academy’s 75th ceremony this weekend.
She confessed to the Radio Times: ‘Your head is on the chopping block as the host, which is a bit scary. I get very nervous.
‘It’s a very hard time for comedians, because what can you say without being cancelled?’

Dune dominated the British Academy Film Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday night, while The Power Of The Dog took home Best Film.
The science fiction movie swept the board as it scooped five out of its eleven nominations for the 75th ceremony which saw diversity triumph, with Lashana Lynch taking home Rising Star, deaf actor Troy Kotsur awarded Supporting Actor and West Side Story’s Ariana Debose accepting the Supporting Actress gong.
Joanna Scanlan, 60, won the Leading Actress award for her performance in the Aleem Khan-directed drama After Love and Will Smith, 53, won the Leading Actor gong for his role in King Richard.
The politically charged show returned after a two-year delay with host Rebel Wilson giving Vladimir Putin the middle finger, while many of the stars wore black and Ukraine ribbons in a mark of solidarity.

Dune was awarded Special Visual Effects, Sound, Production Design, Cinematography and Original Score.
The first of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert, directed by Denis Villeneuve, was presented the Best Cinematography Award by Naomi Campbell and Ru-Paul.
Hans Zimmer was once again recognised in the Original Score category after battling it out against Being The Ricardos, Don’t Look Up, The French Dispatch and The Power of the Dog.

However, Dune lost out on the Best Film gong to the gritty Western movie The Power of the Dog. Director Jane Campion couldn’t attend the ceremony and so producer Tanya Seghatchian accepted it on her behalf.
Leading Actress Joanna admitted to being overwhelmed by her success when she took to the stage.
Joanna faced competition from Lady Gaga, Alana Haim, Emilia Jones, Tessa Thompson and Renate Reinsve for the award.
But she explained on stage that the film – which tells the story of a widow who discovers her late husband’s secret family – was made with ‘blood, sweat and tears’.
Earlier in the night, Will Smith won the Leading Actor gong for his role in ‘King Richard’. The Hollywood star played the part of Richard Williams – the dad of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams – in the hit film.
The success marked the first BAFTA win of Will’s career, but he wasn’t able to attend the ceremony in London.
After vows from organisers to improve diversity among the stars being nominated, the ceremony saw the likes of Bond star Lashana take to the stage, hailing her working class background after winning the Rising Star award.
The actress, 34, portrayed MI6 agent Nomi inJames Bond’s No Time to Die.
She said: ‘Thank you everyone who voted. Wow thank you everyone involved in No Time To Die, my career, my parents, my grandparents who came from Jamaica – the Windrush generation. I am thankful for them for my existence.
I am proud to come from a working class family, I have been taught about failure, about no’s and how to celebrate your yeses. Now I get to celebrate a yes, I never expected.
‘I want to thank the women who taught me how to be in this industry as a dark skinned women. Thank you for laying the foundations for people like me. I appreciate it. Thank you.’
And No Time To Die was a big winner on the night with Tom Cross and Elliot Graham winning Best Editing, beating Belfast, Dune, Licorice Pizza and Summer of Soul (Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).
