Nicola Coughlan has arrived on the TV BAFTAs red carpet and, naturally, she ate and left zero crumbs.

The Bridgerton star wore a beautiful off-the-shoulder dress by Richard Quinn, with 3D floral detailing with a flared lace skirt and pointed black Jimmy Choo heels. She accessorised with TASAKI Jewellery's balance Signature ring, balance Neo earrings, balance Note Solo pave diamond earrings, and a black mani, while her makeup was kept neutral – bar a flush of pink blush – with a brown smoky eye, fanned-out lashes and a nude matte lip. But it's her impeccable hair styling that caught our eye.

Her signature blonde hair was swept back into a chic high pony, while her long fringe was brushed over into a mega side part that is sure to warm the hearts of millennials everywhere. We also adore the flicked ends – such a nice touch.

She also wore a red Artists4Ceasefire pin to show her support for the movement advocating for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
