London was a hive of glamour this Sunday as British TV’s brightest stars dressed up and turned out for the Bafta TV Awards 2021. As ever, our sartorial gaze stopped not on the swishing dresses, bold make up looks and sharp tuxes but the finer details – the jewellery worn on the red carpet.

The awards offered a mix of fine and fashion jewels, with a number of stars happily mixing the two. One such example of this flexi attitude to red carpet jewellery styling came courtesy of one of the night’s hosts, Vik Hope, who styled a black Versace dress with costume jewels from Versace, gold-plated silver designs from Stellar 79 and luxurious gold and diamond pieces from Bulgari’s new Serpenti Viper collection.

Jodie Comer, who was nominated for Leading Actress for Killing Eve, paid tribute to the late Elsa Peretti in a Claw necklace that the designer, who passed away in March, designed for Tiffany & Co. Michaela Cole, who won the Leading Actress award for her powerful performance in I May Destroy You, turned to cult fashion brand Alighieri for a stack of jewels to add drama to a bespoke gown by Maximilian.

One of the most accessible, but impactful red carpet jewellery looks at the Bafta TV Awards 2021, came courtesy of Bimini Bon-Boulash, star of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. They accessorised an emerald-green gown using a pack of pre-styled ear cuffs, which cost less than £100 from genderless jewellery brand Mam.

There were strong jewellery looks from the men on the red carpet, too. Paul Mescal, who took home the Leading Actor award for his performance in Normal People, tapped into the trend for lapel accessories with a Cartier Juste un Clou tie pin adding sparkle to a Gucci suit. Paapa Essiedu, who was shortlisted for the same award for I May Destroy You, also chose to elevate his look with Cartier, selecting a Les Berlingots de Cartier pendant necklace worn over a white polo neck beneath an orange Valentino suit.
