The road to the 2014 OSCARS continues!

Last night, some of our favorite YBF actors and actresses walked the red carpet for the British Academy Film Awards 2014 (BAFTA) held at The Royal Opera House in central London.

"It" girl and red carpet darling Lupita Nyong’o turned heads in an amazing emerald strapless gown with a long flowing train from Christian Dior’s Fall 2013 Couture collection. She punctuated the look with a metallic gold belt and accessorized with Ana Khouri gold ‘Ildeman’ cuffs and gold-and-pearl ‘Laura’ earrings. Her heels, not seen here, were Christian Louboutin.

She was a vision, as usual.

"Mandela" star Naomie Harris kept it red hot in a Gucci gown with a plunging neckline and thigh high slit.

"Captain Phillips" star Barkhad Abdi (seen in the winner’s room) won the award for supporting actor. It was his first film!

At the official dinner…..

Lupita’s "12 Years A Slave" co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor received the Leading Actor award.  The cameras caught him arriving at the official dinner party at The Grosvenor House Hotel with girlfriend Alice Evans.

Although Steve McQueen did not win the award for Best Director, his film, "12 Years A Slave" won Best Film.  During his acceptance speech, THR reports Steve said, "21 million people in slavery now as we sit here. I just hope there will not be another 120 years of ambivalence that allows another filmmaker to make a film like this.”  He attended the dinner and awards show with long time girlfrien (they also have two kids) Bianca Stigter.

Oprah Winfrey (who was also a presenter) arrived at the dinner party in a crimson gown with a satin bow from Stella McCartney.
