Ayo Edebiri always delivers when it comes to her comedy and every hilarious thing that comes out of her mouth. But she's also quickly becoming a fashion icon who has looked stunning on some of the most high-profile red carpets during this year's award season.
That was no different during the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards, held on Sunday at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Edebiri is nominated for the Rising Star award. The prestigious award show — often referred to as the British Oscars — brought out the biggest names in the film and TV industry including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Cillian Murphy, Lily Collins, and more.
Among those was Edebiri, who posed on the red carpet in a stunning peach-colored Bottega Veneta gown. She paired the classic floor-length dress with white opera gloves and a textured fur coat that grazed the ground behind her. Edebiri's old Hollywood look was complete with a short bob.
Ayo Edebiri is nominated for the award alongside Jacob Elordi, Phoebe Dynevor, Mia McKenna-Bruce, and Sophie Wilde. Previous recipients of the Rising Star award include Daniel Kaluuya, Tom Holland, Letitia Wright, and more.
Edebiri has found success this year at multiple award shows including the Golden Globes, the Emmys, and the Critics Choice Awards. The actor took home her first Emmy for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Syd in The Bear. Since her explosive recent success, she has hosted Saturday Night Live and starred in the critically acclaimed movie Bottoms. During the promotion for that film, Edebiri began an ongoing bit that she played the donkey in the Irish film, The Banshees of Inisherin. She's completely leaned into it, making several callbacks to Ireland on multiple occasions, including during her acceptance speech for best actress at the Critics Choice Awards.
