Instead of a sparkling gold, Dannii Minogue opted for a sunshine yellow hue at the TV Baftas.

The Australian singer, who fronts new BBC Three dating show I Kissed A Boy, wore a bright floaty gown with a floral applique and cape attachment by luxury Australian label Jason Grech.

“London is magnificent today, I’m feeling this sunshine,” Minogue wrote on Instagram, posting a picture of her holding a yellow rose to match her gown.placeholder image

Picking up on the popular trend for boudoir-inspired red carpet fashion, Daisy May Cooper wore a pale pink nightie-style dress with a fluffy trim and matching long jacket over the top, by costume designer Amy Day.

Nominated for the best female performance in a comedy programme for her role in Am I Being Unreasonable?, Cooper paired the look with loose waves in her blonde hair, giving an old Hollywood vibe to the ensemble.

Compared to the outfit she wore to the 2019 ceremony, which was made up black bin bags, it was certainly a more glamorous look, and seemed to be a softer take on the pink-obsessed Barbiecore trend sweeping fashion at the moment.placeholder image
