Olivia Cooke Drops Jaws in a Deep-Plunge Power Look at the BAFTAs

At this year’s EE BAFTA Film Awards, Olivia Cooke drew all eyes on the red carpet with a daring navy blue gown from Giorgio Armani’s Spring 2026 collection.

The neoprene dress featured a zippered bodice that gave the look a sporty twist while keeping it glamorous for the gala. Its structured drop waist and sculpted skirt added a bold, architectural edge that moved beautifully as she walked. Cooke completed the ensemble with open-toed heels and soft, voluminous curls framing her face.

The star carried the look with confidence, proving she can pull off fashion risks with ease. Social media buzzed with reactions to the neoprene fabric, but most agreed Cooke owned the outfit from start to finish. Her choice showed that she’s not afraid to experiment while still staying elegant.

Cooke’s career continues to thrive both on screen and in the spotlight. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of House of the Dragon, where she reprises her role as Alicent Hightower, navigating complex family politics in Westeros. Reflecting on her work, Cooke shared that “you do portray all these emotions, and the body doesn’t know it’s not real,” a reminder of the intensity she brings to her performances.

She’s also been praised for her role in the Prime Video thriller series The Girlfriend, playing Cherry opposite Robin Wright. The show explores tense family dynamics, and critics have highlighted the chemistry between Cooke and Wright as a standout of the season.

Looking ahead, she has a busy slate of films lined up for 2026 and 2027. Visitation, a horror-thriller with Alfie Allen and Penelope Kapudija, is expected to be a major hit. She’s also set to star in Switzerland, a story about literary agent adventures with the reclusive author Patricia Highsmith, and Brides, a drama directed by Chloe Okuno exploring identity and desire.

Despite her rapid rise, Cooke has stayed grounded. She often speaks about her working-class roots in Oldham and values steady career growth, saying, “I’m really happy with my slow and steady progression.”

Her appearance at the BAFTAs reminded everyone why she’s considered one of the UK’s most talented and versatile actresses. Whether taking on complex TV roles, tackling high-concept films, or making bold fashion choices, Cooke continues to show she is a force in both Hollywood and London.
