Celebrities descended on London’s Roundhouse for the 27th British Independent Film Awards on Sunday evening.
Leading the arrivals were Saoirse Ronan and Ellie Bamber, who both looked sensational in metallic dresses.
Irish actress Saoirse, 30, wore a navy blue dress with a high neckline and a sheer cape hanging behind her.
She paired the elegant dress with a pair of heels, kept makeup to a minimum and pulled her hair into a sleek updo.
Meanwhile, Ellie, 27, opted for a gold floor-length dress with a metallic baroque design and cut-outs at the waist.
She completed her ensemble with a swipe of burgundy lipstick and styled her hair in messy waves.
