All eyes were on Timothee Chalamet at the BAFTAs on Sunday night, with fans waiting with bated breath to see if he walked the red carpet with his 'partner of three years', Kylie Jenner.

Disappointingly, Timothee, who is nominated in the Leading Actor category for Marty Supreme, walked the carpet alone, looking serious (and dapper) in a black suit. While we weren't treated to any loved-up red carpet PDAs from Timmy and Kylie, she did join him inside the ceremony - plus plenty of other A-list couples walked the carpet together.

Makeup mogul Kylie joined Timothee inside the awards ceremony, donning a black dress to match his suit. The reality star wore her dark hair long and straight, holding tightly onto Timothee's hand.

Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal, who is nominated in the Supporting Actor category for his role in Hamnet, walked the red carpet with his partner, musician Gracie Abrams. The duo, who have been dating publicly since 2024, made their red carpet debut earlier this week at  a London screening of Paul McCartney - Man on The Run, however, their second foray onto the red carpet together – at the BAFTAs - was a more glamorous affair.

The pair looked incredibly in-love as they laughed and gazed into one another's eyes, with Paul resting his hand on Gracie's lower back.

Kate Hudson and Danny Fujikawa

Song Sung Blue actress Kate Hudson and her musician husband Danny Fujikawa have been together for almost a decade, but still looked as smitten as ever when they took to the BAFTAs red carpet. Kate exuded elegance in a statement-making backless red gown with a billowing skirt, while Danny looked suave in his suit.

The duo held hands as they made their way to the prestigious event, before posing side-by-side.
