BAFTA weekend is always a busy one in the London calendar, with the annual awards ceremony attracting the biggest names and brightest talents from the film industry to the UK capital. This year marked the return of the Chanel and Charles Finch pre-BAFTA party - an intimate dinner celebrating the last year in cinema, held at private members' club 5 Hertford Street.

Jenna Coleman, whose hit TV series The Serpent captivated viewers last year, was one of the guests this weekend, joining her friends and peers at the star-studded dinner. Here, she takes us inside her evening in an exclusive photo diary from the night - from getting ready with make-up artist Ninni Nummela and hair stylist Peter Lux, to her colourful Chanel outfit ("such a joy to wear"), and a Serpent reunion with co-star Ellie Bamber.

"From Virginie Viard’s stunning spring 2022 collection. The beading and craftsmanship that goes into each piece is so meticulously detailed. This look filled me with so much exuberance - such a joy to wear. (I might frame and leave in my living room.)"
