Michaela Coel's Sultry Open-Back Gown at the 2021 BAFTA TV Awards Completely Destroyed Us

We're all rooting for Michaela Coel at the 2021 BAFTA Television Awards. The I May Destroy You actor and creator was nominated for two BAFTAs in the categories of leading actress and best mini-series. Michaela arrived on the red carpet already looking like a winner in a custom black gown by one of London's most exciting emerging designers, Maximilian.

Michaela's custom black Highway gown by Maximilian was inspired by the designer's spring/summer 2021 collection. The elegantly sexy, floor-length dress featured contrasting red sleeves and two statement cutout panels on the back. She completed the look with layers of chunky gold necklaces, black nail polish, and slicked-back hair cut into a blunt, medium bob. For accessories, Michaela chose simple, black satin heeled sandals and a black Simone Rocha Egg mini bag for on-the-carpet posing, while she kept the rest of her bits in a red Mulberry handbag.
