All the fashion from the London Film Festival red carpet
Don't miss the most stylish looks from this year's attendees
From October 6 to 17, cinemas around London (and, for many films, in cities across the UK and on BFI Player), will play host to some of the most-lauded and highly anticipated films of the year for the 2021 London Film Festival. Now that we can finally return to our beloved cinemas after a long hiatus, the annual celebration of film feels more exciting than ever.
This year, there are also more female filmmakers represented in the gala than ever before. From Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut with The Lost Daughter to Julie Diarcanau’s body-horror Titane, we're thrilled to see more diverse and often sidelined voices take centre stage - don't miss our guide to the movies we are most anticipating from the festival schedule this year.
Films aside, we are also looking forward to a welcome dose of red-carpet fashion which comes hand-in-hand with all the premieres, photocalls and press conferences - and with films such as Spencer, The Harder They Fall, and Last Night in Soho boasting particularly starry casts, we have high expectations for the style on show.
