BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Belfast’s Caitriona Balfe stuns as she goes braless under a plunging velvet gown while gracing the red carpet for her supporting actress nomination

Caitriona Balfe looked spectacular as she graced the red carpet for the BAFTA 2022 Film Awards on Sunday afternoon. 

Posing up a storm at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Belfast actress, 42, stunned as she went braless in a plunging black velvet gown featuring pointed shoulders. 

The Outlander star teamed her cut out dress with complementary jewellery and wore her brunette tresses slicked back while toting a velvet purse.

She opted for a full palette of makeup, including a slick red lip, to accentuate her natural beauty. 

Caitríona is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Ma in Belfast, which landed six nods despite an unexpected snub for Kenneth Branagh in the Director category.

The drama, which stars Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench and newcomer Jude Hill and is based on Kenneths’ childhood growing up in Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles, was also nominated for Outstanding British Film, Original Screenplay, Supporting Actress for Caitriona, Supporting Actor for Ciarán Hinds and Editing.

Rebel Wilson, who will be hosting the Academy’s 75th ceremony, recently admitted to her nerves and that she worries about being cancelled for her jokes.

She confessed to the Radio Times: ‘Your head is on the chopping block as the host, which is a bit scary. I get very nervous.

‘It’s a very hard time for comedians, because what can you say without being cancelled?’

The nominations were announced last month with Dune, The Power Of The Dog and Belfast leading with 11, eight and six respectively.

Denis Villeneuve’s star-studded sci-fi epic landed a slew of technical nods, along with a nod for the top prize for Best Film, while Jane Campion’s dark Western and Kenneth Branagh’s Irish biopic follows close behind with eight and six respectively.

While the Academy once again recognised three women in the Director’s shortlist, this year’s nominations fell short on BAFTA’s vow to improve diversity, with only seven people of colour nominated in contrast to last year’s 12.

It looks set to be a competitive evening in the acting categories, with Lady Gaga, Caitriona Balfe and Benedict Cumberbatch battling it out for the leading honours, alongside newcomers Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ariana DeBose and Adeel Akhtar.

While many of Dune’s nominations came in the technical categories, it’s also landed a nod for Best Film, alongside Belfast, Don’t Look Up, Licorice Pizza and The Power of the Dog.
