The story behind Michaela Coel's stunning BAFTAs look

’s Michaela Coel swept the ceremony by winning best lead actress, best writer, best director, and best miniseries. Given she was the star of the night, she had to have a stellar fashion look too—and that’s exactly what the budding, London-based label Maximilian gave her. “I was nervous meeting someone that I’ve seen on TV,” says designer Maximilian Davis of the fitting process, which was also his first-ever red carpet moment. “But she was exactly like she is on the show.

The sleek black gown Coel wore on the red carpet, with striking front and back cut-outs, is from Davis’s spring 2021 collection which was showcased. To make it an original for Coel, the designer added custom details, including bold red cuffs. “This dress is one of the first pieces that I made in my bedroom before I applied for Fashion East,” says Davis. “[In this collection,] I was looking at a lot of shells from the Caribbean.
