Amandaland\u2019s Philippa Dunne stepped out in a lime-green sequinned midi dress by Sister Jane from the Dream: The Garden Atelier collection, complete with white floral accents.<\/p>\n

Presenter and podcaster Vogue Williams wore a halterneck gown, wearing a white maxi dress with a sheer lace overlay.<\/p>\n

The star showcased a new fringe, stepping out three weeks after revealing she is pregnant with her fourth child with husband Spencer Matthews.<\/p>\n

Laura Whitmore also showed her baby bump in a nude, strapless maxi dress with a ruched bodice by sustainable designer Mara Hoffman. The 41-year-old presenter paired the look with a pearlescent clutch and gold cuff.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, singer Una Healy wore a butter yellow and baby blue structured gown, complete with a cut-out waist detail and a powder blue miniature handbag.<\/p>\n

Dunne, who was nominated for best actress in a comedy, and Graham Norton, who was on the shortlist in the Entertainment category, both missed out on an award.<\/p>\n

Adolescence completed its streak through awards season as it won top prizes, while Celebrity Traitors also triumphed.<\/p>\n

The hit Netflix drama, about a teenage boy accused of a terrible crime, was named best limited drama, while its stars Stephen Graham, Christine Tremarco and Owen Cooper all won awards.<\/p>\n

Graham was named best leading actor, while Tremarco won the supporting actress prize and Cooper won supporting actor.<\/p>\n

Graham, who co-wrote the script with Jack Thorne, has won a string of awards for his performance in the Netflix series, but never won a Bafta.<\/p>\n

Speaking on stage, he said: \u201cI might take my time. I\u2019ve been nominated eight times and this is the first time I\u2019ve won. Nice one Bafta, this is lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper (16), who has also proved unbeatable through awards season, won the first prize of the night and said: \u201cA year ago, I was presenting an award and now I\u2019m collecting one. This is a bit mad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the words of John Lennon, you won\u2019t get anything unless you have the vision to imagine it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo in my eyes, I think you only need three things to succeed: one, you need an obsession; two, you need a dream; and three, you need The Beatles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tremarco won the best supporting actress category for playing Cooper\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so privileged to be standing up here holding this Bafta. I feel so honoured to be part of Adolescence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Celebrity Traitors won the best reality award, as well as the memorable moment prize, for Alan Carr\u2019s treacherous victory.<\/p>\n

Collecting the award, Carr said: \u201cWas I good? Was I really? Or were the other celebrities just thick?\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the cast filming the second series in Scotland, he said: \u201cI\u2019m so jealous of all the celebs up there doing it, I wish I could do it all again. Sometimes when I\u2019m a bit sad, I remember the laughter. I can even smell Celia\u2019s fart.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it was not nominated, the audible fart Celia Imrie emitted during the show was a recurring gag throughout the ceremony, referenced by Carr, host Greg Davies and even US star Seth Rogen.<\/p>\n

The leading actress Bafta was won by Narges Rashidi for her portrayal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Prisoner 951.<\/p>\n

Dedicating the prize to the British-Iranian woman who was imprisoned in Tehran, and her family, Rashidi said: \u201cYour resilience, your dignity, your love through impossible circumstances have moved us all.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour courage will stay with me for the rest of my life. This is for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI was a seven-year-old who survived war. In Gaza, in Ukraine, in Sudan, they may never get that opportunity, that chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

EastEnders was named best soap, while US comedy The Studio was named best international.<\/p>\n

TV chef and former Bake Off judge Mary Berry was honoured with the Bafta fellowship during the ceremony, saying: \u201cI\u2019m really bowled over by this accolade.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a cook, I\u2019m a teacher, so I feel very honoured to be given Bafta\u2019s highest award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berry reflected on her career with the BBC and said the corporation was \u201cthe broadcaster that we must cherish\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amandaland\u2019s Philippa Dunne stepped out in a lime-green sequinned midi dress by Sister Jane from the Dream: The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,101718,1868,172754,12460],"class_list":["post-443990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-laura-whitmore","tag-netflix","tag-una-healy","tag-vogue-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
