Kirsten Dunst at the 2026 BAFTAs
Kirsten Dunst attended the 79th BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday at London’s Royal Festival Hall, where her husband, Jesse Plemons, was nominated for Leading Actor for his role in Bugonia. Dunst showcased a structured Valentino haute couture look, complemented by Aquazzura’s Alex Sandal 85 heels, which retail for $895.
Her outfit included a full-length black skirt with a back slit and a cream V-neck bodice, cinched with a wide black waistband. She topped the ensemble with a cropped pink moiré jacket featuring rounded, sculpted shoulders and exaggerated sleeves, and accessorized with a small black Valentino Devain napa shoulder bag and diamond jewelry.
Wardrobe Malfunction at Afterparty
Following the ceremony, Dunst experienced a wardrobe malfunction at Universal’s BAFTA afterparty at Private Members’ club Oswald’s in London. The actress, 43, risked revealing her bottom after tearing her skirt while wearing a kooky pink jacket over her now-damaged black and white gown.
Despite the mishap, Dunst appeared in good spirits as she celebrated alongside fellow attendees, including Best Actress winner Jessie Buckley and her husband’s co-star Emma Stone. The couple, who married in 2022 and share two sons, were seen enjoying each other’s company throughout the evening.
Significance of the Event
The BAFTAs are a prestigious event in the film industry, recognizing outstanding achievements in cinema. This year, the ceremony highlighted the talents of both British and international stars, with One Battle After Another winning six awards, including Best Film.
As the couple continues to navigate their careers and family life, their appearance at the BAFTAs marks a significant moment in their journey together, showcasing both their professional achievements and personal milestones.
