Rose Byrne, 46, Pushes Boundaries in a Strikingly Minimalist Black Dress at the 2026 BAFTA Nominees’ Bash

by

Rose Byrne showed how to make a timeless color scheme stand out at the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards Nominees’ Party. The actress, originally from Australia, turned heads at the London event in a chic black silk midi dress with a low-cut neckline and thin straps.

The dress had a simple, clean design and fit her beautifully, showing off her toned physique. She let the dress’s excellent cut speak for itself, completing the look with classic black heels and a gently waved hairstyle that perfectly framed her face.

A fashion critic at the National Portrait Gallery praised the dress – a custom Chanel creation – as perfectly styled and conveying a sense of understated confidence. This appearance was part of a busy weekend for Byrne, who also attended the Charles Finch & Chanel pre-BAFTA party at 5 Hertford Street, solidifying her reputation as a standout style icon of the event.

I have to say, seeing her at the event was a real highlight! At 46, she absolutely nailed her fashion moment, and it feels especially fitting given what a huge year this is for her career. She was with her partner, Bobby Cannavale, which was lovely – especially after he famously chose a reptile expo with their kids over being at her Golden Globes win earlier this year. It’s great to see them supporting each other now!

Rose is generating a lot of buzz heading into the 2026 awards season. She’s already won a Golden Globe for her powerful performance in the film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, which she calls the most rewarding project of her career. In the movie, she portrays Linda, a mother struggling with big life questions while dealing with a difficult family situation.

Her performance in the film has been highly acclaimed, earning her a nomination for Best Actress at the BAFTA Awards. She’s up against strong competition, including Kate Hudson, but critics have especially praised her ability to seamlessly blend dark humor with deeply emotional moments. Many consider this role to be the best work of her career, directed by Mary Bronstein.

In addition to her recent awards success, Rose has several projects lined up for the rest of 2026. She’s starring in the drama Tow, playing a woman battling an unfair towing company, and will also be the lead in the upcoming Peacock thriller series The Good Daughter, alongside Meghann Fahy.

I’m so excited for more of Rose Byrne’s comedy! They’ve renewed Platonic for a third season on Apple TV+, which is amazing news. She’s filming it with Seth Rogen again, and she’s said working with him is just pure joy and creative freedom – you can tell they have a great connection, especially when she talks about it in interviews!
