Nicola Coughlan's Valentino Gown at the BAFTA TV Awards Was a Barbie Pink Dream

Once in a while, there's a red-carpet fashion moment that overshadows every other red-carpet fashion moment in recent history. And for me, the latest one of these moments has come.

Nicola Coughlan, star of Bridgerton and Derry Girls, showed up to the BAFTA TV awards in London in a positively jaw-dropping creation by Valentino. Coughlan opted for a Barbie pink floor-length gown, with an imposing A-line skirt, which hung off one shoulder and was adorned with large bows and frills. See for yourself, because my words can't do this piece justice:

The actress wore her blonde shoulder-length hair side-parted and brushed up at the ends, and finished the look with fresh-faced, perfect-for-springtime makeup in shades of pink. She accessorized with diamond drop earrings.

On the night, Coughlan also posed with Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, who has just been announced as the BBC's next Doctor Who. He will be the show's first Black Doctor. Gatwa also wore a flawless outfit: a cut-out black suit jacket that bared part of his chest, and a fringed black leather skirt.

"BAFTA 2022 x Valentino," Coughlan wrote on Instagram.
