Bafta TV Awards 2022: The best-dressed stars on the red carpet

The Bafta TV Awards are here, and stars like Nicola Coughlan, Jodie Comer and Olivia Colman graced the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.

Leading the nominations for the awards was Channel 4 drama, It’s A Sin, followed by Netflix’s Sex Education, BBC One’s Time and Channel 4’s Help.

Kate Winslet, Sean Bean and Matthew Macfayden were among the actors nominated for awards.
