Rosamund Pike may not have won a BAFTA award. Still, her stunning pale blue gown, evoking an air of ethereal elegance, captured everyone’s attention at the 77th Annual British Academy Film and Television Awards on Sunday.
Rosamund’s portrayal of Lady Elspeth Catton in the psychological thriller Saltburn earned her a Best Actress in a Supporting Role nomination. She was up against Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Claire Foy (All of Us Strangers), Sandra Hüller (The Zone of Interest), and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who went on to win the BAFTA theatrical mask trophy for the comedy-drama The Holdovers.

A Closer Look at Pike’s Dior Couture Gown
Pike’s light and airy Dior Couture gown perfectly encapsulated her modest, sophisticated style. It clung to her body like a mist, lending a sense of calmness to the otherwise busy awards ceremony.
The 45-year-old actress radiated elegance in the ethereal frock of plissé fabric gracefully draped over her frame. It had a crossover bodice with softly crinkled pleats that enveloped her upper body, creating a daring low-cut neckline.
The dress’ sensuous flare was enhanced by the sheer nude corset peeking out from behind the plunging V-neck.
A modern take on Cinderella’s ballgown, the light blue dress had a billowing pleated A-line skirt that stopped above her ankles.

Stylist Leith Clark, who works with Daisy Ridley, Lily Rabe, Keira Knightley, and Jenna Coleman, curated Pike’s stunning princess-esque look.
Accessorizing the Look: Jewels and Shoes
Her neck was unadorned, but a pear-shaped diamond ring and matching Boucheron earrings complemented her sophisticated appearance. Pike decorated her manicured hands with the “Goutte” ring inspired by the majestic domes of Russia’s imperial cities. A total of 2.30 carats of 199 round diamonds, 1 0.90 carat pear diamond, and 4.23 carats of rock crystals were set into the 18-karat white gold ring.
The sparkling ring was paired with the timeless Serpent Bohème Sleepers earrings in 18k white gold with 30 round diamonds.

Standing five-foot-eight, Rosamund emphasized her impressive height by teaming her flowy dress with the “Muse Dior” sandals from Dior’s Winter 2023 collection.
Crafted in Italy from nude satin, these sandals are distinguished by their crossed-effect front straps and metallic CD buckle on the thick ankle strap. They are finished with 2-inch platforms and 5-inch block heels.

Erdem’s Floral Elegance: Rosamund’s Pink Dress
Looking the epitome of feminine glamour, Rosamund wore a pastel pink sheer dress by London-based fashion designer Erdem, renowned for using colorful prints, intricate craftsmanship, and innovative fabrics.
Cut from semi-sheer fabric, the enchanting frock showed a glimpse of Rosamund’s nude bralette and high-waisted underwear.

The “Alessandra” satin pumps have intricate lacing and metal eyelets inspired by the Victorian era’s traditional corsetry. They also feature buckled slingback straps, pointed toes, and about 3.3-inch heels and are available for $845 at Farfetch.

These shapes, culminating in pear-shaped diamonds, resemble water droplets emerging from the winter’s frost.
