A-Listers Depart Early From Toned-Down BAFTA Bash
25 Feb
Summary
- Stars like DiCaprio and Stone attended the sustainable BAFTA after-party.
- The plant-based menu featured truffle chicken or vegan pithivier.
- Many guests left early, citing cost-cutting and low-key decor.

The 2026 BAFTA after-party, attended by stars such as Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, featured a predominantly plant-based menu focused on sustainability. Guests enjoyed vegan canapes, roasted maple pumpkin rolls, and a celeriac and apple mille-feuille starter. Main course options included truffle chicken or a vegan caramelised leek and pumpkin pithivier.
Desserts were playfully film-themed, such as popcorn chocolate mousse. Despite the luxurious champagne and tequila, the event reportedly missed the grandeur of previous years. Many attendees left early, opting for private gatherings elsewhere in London.
Criticism arose regarding perceived cost-cutting in decor, with simple lamps and faux foliage replacing elaborate centrepieces. Some guests also found the food portions surprisingly small and the taste disappointing, contributing to an overall low-key atmosphere for the film celebration.
