BAFTAS Film Awards 2024
As Jade Asha gracefully glided onto the red carpet at the Baftas Film Awards, she radiated joy and delight, her infectious smile illuminating the evening with unmatched brilliance. Draped in our gown, she was a symbol and inspiration to every aspiring female with a dream and a passion. Sophistication, elegance and wearing a one-of-a-kind Cynthia Grafton-Holt Couture gown, Jade was realising her childhood dream which she shared on her Instagram feed.
Big thank you to my styling crew who had me looking like a princess (so many compliments and nicknamed princess 🤣🙈) and feeling like a Queen 👸🏽… Been manifesting my BAFTA film awards look since prom in 2004 👸🏽💅🏽
On The Red Carpet
The gown was a masterpiece, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication behind its creation. The original gown was restyled and customised in little under a week after Jades management team contacted us to as if we could help. Having approached several design houses, they had struggled to find a gown to reflect Jade's infectious personality and love for all things pink.
On arrival at the studio, Jades eye immediately fell on the Paris Gown and there was little we could do to dissuade her. The original gown was size 6 (being the standard model size and as you might know, had only recently returned from a shoot in Paris). We modified the gown to fit and transformed the neckline with additional layers of pink ruffles cascading ‘off the shoulder’. This additional detail trailed organically from the oversized rose embellishments, evoking the artistic essence of Parisian architecture. The new silhouette captured the playful spirit of couples enjoying a romantic midnight stroll along the Seine, with every element thoughtfully curated to transport onlookers to the enchanting streets of Paris.
The Muse
But it was Jade Asha who truly brought the gown to life, infusing it with her own unique charm and vibrant personality. With every graceful step, she embodied the essence of a modern-day Cinderella, enchanting all who beheld her as she became the belle of the ball.
As the cameras flashed and the crowd murmured in admiration, it was evident that our gown had transcended the confines of fashion to become a symbol of pure joy and delight. And in that moment, amidst the glitz and glamour of the BAFTA red carpet, the hero gown of the ‘Dream of Paris Bridal Collection’ unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on both the world of cinema and fashion.
“I love working with brides who seize the opportunity to create a unique and exclusive once-in-a-lifetime chance to wear a gown that will never be seen on anyone else!”
