Over the years, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone have attended, clad in their finest attire. Even royals put in an appearance. The Duke of Cambridge is president of the BAFTAs and has attended the event numerous times - often with the Duchess of Cambridge by his side.
