Stars attending the Bafta Film awards are set to wear black on the red carpet. The choice of attire is in support of the Time's Up initiative. A letter was circulated around the British film and TV industry invited those attending the Baftas to take part for the same.
This initiative has gathered support from many stars attending the awards and other industry figures as well. The list reportedly includes Emma Thompson, Daisy Ridley, Emma Watson, Gemma Arterton, Keira Knightley, Jodie Whittaker, Emilia Clarke, Noma Dumezweni, Natalie Dormer and Felicity Jones among others. Further it invited men attending the Baftas to show support for the movement as well by donning special pins and/or a ‘button hole.’
Joanna Lumley is the presenter of this year's award ceremony. This marks the first time in over a decade that this ceremony has been hosted by a woman.
