At the 2021 BAFTA TV Awards, Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You walked away the big winner of the evening with five awards, including best mini-series. The proud Ghanian-Brit also claimed best leading actress for her role as a writer healing from a sexual assault.
But Coel wasn’t the only one who made a splash at the hybrid ceremony at London’s Television Centre Sunday night. Her fellow I May Destroy You costars, including Paapa Essiedu and Weruche Opia, were on hand to support their fearless leader, who also nabbed a best director: fiction award along with Sam Miller.

Several actors from across the pond wowed on the red carpet, including The Good Fight’s Cush Jumbo and Flacks‘ Sophie Okonedo. For more Black UK celebrities who attended the 2021 BAFTA TV Awards, take a scroll of these best dressed looks.
