Andrea Riseborough, one of the stars who brought an activist as her guest to highlight the issues raised by Time’s Up, wore a long black dress with a satin skirt, lace bodice and a splash of vibrant purple.

The Duchess of Cambridge may have ignored the wear-all-black memo, but could her black ribbon have been a concession?
Some pointed to Kate’s black sash and her emerald jewelry as a subtle nod to Time’s Up.
Kate, 36, was overheard at a post-BAFTAs ceremony meet and greet on Monday night chatting about her son’s love of movies and how it was shared by her husband.
Wearing black to the event, and making a public display of support to the movement might have been construed as the royal family meddling in a cultural or political movement, says Hanson. Brimming her signature charm, Kate looked beyond handsome in the lacy, floral dress, while flaunting her baby bump. Prince William has been President of the Academy since February 2010.
Prince William and Kate Middleton hit the red carpet for the second year in a row at the annual BAFTA Awards (the British equivalent of the Oscars) on Sunday. BAFTA CEO Amanda Berry told CNN, “And I think because the film industry has such a powerful impact globally that this messaging will help other industries as well”.
They then took their seats in the front row of the Royal Albert Hall, the central London venue hosting the ceremony.
“I thought it was really fitting and I’m really happy and proud that I’m with Gwen and Eileen because they represent a normal person speaking up for what is actually right”. However, Kate Middleton, who would have thought to use a surrogate mother to her third pregnancy, was not in black!
BAFTA is a world-leading independent arts charity that brings the very best work in film, games and television to public attention and supports the growth of creative talent in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Many of Britain’s most prominent female entertainment stars have signed an open letter demanding an end to sexual harassment ahead of Britain’s major film awards.

The crowd then cheered for her, before she explained that she fully supported her “sisters” in the movement, adding: “I want you to know that I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black”.
