The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (aka the BAFTAs) have come round once again, and although the glitzy red carpet event has been scaled back due to social distancing restrictions, there were still plenty of A-listers making an appearance.

While there weren't as many attendees as there usually are, that didn't mean that the stars dressed down. And to prove it, we've compiled a list of the most stylish celebs this year.

Scroll down to check out the best outfits.

1. Renée Zellweger

The 51-year-old Bridget Jones star rocked up to the awards show wearing a strapless silver-blue gown which gave her the appearance of a freshly-bloomed tulip. She completed her look with a pair of stylish nude stilettos.

2. Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleson, who is due to return to the MCU as Loki in the Frost Giant's upcoming spinoff Disney+ TV show, presented a Bafta while wearing a black double-breasted Ralph Lauren suit with an understated black bow tie and a crisp white shirt.

4. James McAvoy

The Scottish X-Men star wore a simple black suit and tie to the proceedings, but accessorized his outfit with a pair of bright orange sunglasses. Snazzy!

5. Phoebe Dynevor

Forgoing bodices, petticoats, corsets and bustles, the Bridgerton star opted for a more modern look, donning an off-the-shoulder black gown with a single puffed sleeve and a full skirt designed by Louis Vuitton.

6. Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick might be known as one of Hollywood's most down-to-Earth actresses, but she sure knows how to dress for an occasion, and wore a pleated metallic gown by Zuhair Murad during her virtual appearance at the award show.

7. Chiwetel Eijofor

The 12 Years A Slave actor might well have been mistaken for James Bond, wearing a classy black velvet single-breasted suit for the evening, paired with a diamond bow tie, which will surely fan the rumors that he's in the running to take on the role after Daniel Craig.

8. Riz Ahmed

The 38-year-old actor was nominated for his role in The Sound of Metal, playing the part of drummer who slowly loses his hearing due to his high-intensity performances.

For the award show, he donned an all-Prada ensemble consisting of a navy single-breasted wool and mohair suit, a patterned burgundy polo-neck jumper, and black brushed leather derby shoes.

9. Emerald Fennell

The 35-year-old actress and director of Promising Young Woman made a remote appearance at the Baftas, wearing a custom white Roland Mouret gown in chevron organza.

10. Pedro Pascal

The Mandalorian lead dressed minimalist for the occasion, with a white spearpoint collar dress shirt, a knee-length black Prada overcoat, and a pair of skinny-fit suit trousers from Miuccia Prada's Spring/Summer 2021 collection.

11. Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Gugu Mbatha-Rawfitted cut an elegant figure wearing a bejeweled silver gown by Louis Vuitton complete with a mesh top and a calf-skimming hemline, as well as strappy silver heels and tasteful diamond jewelry.

12. Alan Kim

Finally, little seven-year-old Alan Kim, who was nominated for his performance in the Lee Isaac Chung-directed movie Minari, wearing a cool grey two-piece Thom Browne suit, black socks, and no shoes.

So there you have it: just because the pandemic has put the kibosh on showbiz, it doesn't mean that the actors of the world can't still cut an impressive figure.
