The BAFTA TV Awards are usually one of the most glamorous night’s of the year, and 2020 has proven no exception.
The original bash was due to take place on May 17, but the ceremony was postponed due to the Covid pandemic.
While the awards ceremony will be virtual this year, the nominated celebs decided to up the fashion stakes from home, and watch the show in their glad rags.
Some of the UK’s most talented names, from Katie McGlynn to Jodie Comer, dressed for the occasion, raising a glass to their TV screens as they tune in from their sofas.
Below we take a look at some of the most dazzling red carpet looks of the year, without a red carpet in sight.

Sharing an outfit shot with her fans, Katie teased: “@bafta ready… Covid isn’t stopping me from getting glam!
“I just want to thank everyone who voted, regardless of the outcome tonight it is an actual honour to even be nominated alongside @rob.mallard and the whole of @coronationstreet pass me the champers.”
Speaking about her nomination in an interview with Daily Star Online, the soap star said: “I think we’ve done that and the nomination is just the icing on top of the cake. But we want the cherry, we want to win!”
