2004: Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts showed off her back in a gaping little black dress, which was only partly covered by a tiny silver strap. She styled the long-sleeved outfit with matching black stiletto boots.
2007: Kylie Minogue
The princess of pop Kylie Minogue wore a glittery blue Dolce & Gabbana kimono in 2007, which she paired with gold-pointed stilettos.
2007: Eva Green
Green wore a red high-neck dress, which featured overly-embellished sleeves and neckline, paired with heavy eye makeup and a voluminous updo.
2008: Tilda Swinton
The ever-eccentric Tilda Swinton surprised no one when she wore this quirky metallic bronze and black feathered gown in 2008.
2013: Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren brightened the BAFTAs red carpet when she debuted bubblegum coloured hair, which she complemented with equally eye-catching pink lipstick.
But to tone down the overall look, the actress opted for a sweeping floor-length white gown with a matching cape.
2013: Zawe Ashton
English actress Zawe Ashton dressed like a glamorous punk when she wore this all-over embroidered black gown with a sheer skirted bottom.
2014: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
The former Brangelina couple wore matching his and her suits in 2014, reminding fans of their 2005 movie "Mr and Mrs Smith."
Brad Pitt was sleeker in his suit approach as he buttoned his shirt and tied his bow-tie while Angelina Jolie went for more of an effortlessly messy look with an open shirt and undone tie.
2014: Lily Allen
Lily Allen channelled her 2006 "LDN" music video with a similar bright fuchsia and orange gown by Vivienne Westwood.
Rather than accessorizing with a chunky necklace for the sweetheart neckline dress, the singer instead focused on her hair as she wore a dramatic pink headpiece tucked into her updo.
2017: Sophie Turner
Sophie Turner jumped on the thigh-high slit bandwagon when she wore this revealing sequinned gown in 2017, which also featured a plunging neckline.
2018: Alison Janney

2019: Daisy May Cooper
British comedian Daisy May Cooper wore a dress made entirely of garbage bags and trash at the 2019 BAFTAs. Her outfit even had a hat complete with a plastic pigeon.
She told reporters it cost her mom just £5 ($6.50) to make as she decided to donate the money she would have spent on a designer dress to her local food bank.
2020: Scarlett Johansson
