Christine McGuinness, Shakira Khan and Joe Baggs lead the BAFTA TV Award’s worst dressed… as flesh-flashing, an excess of bling and a Beetlejuice disaster storm red carpet
Every award-winning look on the red carpet is usually followed by a fashion fail.
Stars hit the red carpet in a range of dazzling, quirky and racy ensembles at the BAFTA Television Awards at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday evening.
Headlining some of the most controversial looks of the night was Christine McGuinness, who left next to nothing to the imagination in a dazzling number that eschews the main legs or cleavage rule.
Joining her in the faux pas camp was TikTok user Joe Baggs, who opted for a Beatlejuice-inspired ensemble, while Love Island star Cach Mercer appeared to miss the showy note on the evening, opting for a lumberjack look instead.
Meanwhile, her Love Island co-star Shakira Khan appeared to have overdone the glam as she strolled the red carpet in an aggressively flashy gown adorned with embellishments such as a hip brooch, ruffled slit and cinched bosom.

Paloma Faith channeled a gothic pirate in a fringed dress and dramatic hat as she posed on the red carpet alongside her Traitors co-star Alan Carr.
