Lily James exuded elegance on the BAFTA red carpet tonight in a white dress featuring a statement neckline.

The actor, 33, posed as she arrived at the London awards show in a floor-length gown with pearl caged detailing at the front.

Her dramatic ensemble, which also came with a voluminous bow at the back, was created by Australian designer Tamara Ralph.

She kept the rest of her look simple, with a sleek up-do, minimal jewellery and Charlotte Tilbury make-up.

James, who is to appear in the upcoming film What's Love Got To Do With It?, wasn't the only star to wear white for the glamorous evening, which is being held at the Royal Festival Hall.

Geri Horner also opted for the chic shade to attend the star-studded ceremony alongside her husband Christian Horner.
